I thought I'd drifted into an alternate universe. Quick once over both NE and Buf schedules they seem to be very even.
NE does have some minor things to address. But only because they arrived a year too early. I think most people felt they'd be really dangerous in 2026. But with KC imploding, and the improvement in ~4 teams (Den, Jax, NE and LAC) it stands to be wide open postseason. Hou seems inconsistent, Buf has some needs, and lastly the Balt/Pitt survivor. Buf has lost to NE (they split), plus Mia, Hou, and Atl. Overall, Buf seems right where they belong the 6th seed
As for 1 seed, Den or NE. NE has the jets and Mia. Den faces KC and LAC.
