Nate Theis and Charles McDonald team up to preview every team in the AFC. We discuss each team’s win totals, highlight players to watch, and predict why each team is likely to underperform or exceed expectations this season.
After discussing why the Georgia Bulldogs’ championship-winning defense has been a disappointment thus far in the NFL, Nate and Charles expand on why they’re excited about the AFC South, where they predict all four teams will eclipse their win totals, and they’re particularly intrigued by the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts.
The AFC West is in a worse state than it has been in years, and both teams expect the Kansas City Chiefs to have a lot of easy wins against their division rivals.
Up next is the AFC East. Nate thinks Drake Maye should start immediately for the New England Patriots and that the Buffalo Bills run game is underrated.
Finally, the AFC North looks set to be an all-out bloodbath with each team having some big question marks that could slow them down, but the talent on all four teams is too good to ignore.
