2nd: New York Jets
2024 Record Prediction: 10-7 (4-2 AFC East Division Record)
Last season was supposed to be the Jets year but it seemed to end before it even got started with Aaron Rodgers lasting less than five plays before suffering a torn Achilles. The former MVP is healthy and expectations once again are high.
These predictions are assuming that Rodgers does stay healthy all season, and if he does, the Jets are going to be competing for the division for almost the entire season. They have added to their offensive line Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses at tackle along with giving Rodgers another weapon in Mike Williams at wide receiver.
The Jets are still going to have an outstanding defense, especially if Haason Reddick and his contract is able to get worked out. Their schedule is also very manageable as they open the season on the road against the 49ers but don't have really any tough road games outside of divisional games.
If Aaron Rodgers is able to stay healthy throughout the entire season, the Week 17 matchup against the Bills could decide who wins the AFC East. Thankfully for the Bills that game will be played at Highmark Stadium.
