The American Football Conference East has Buffalo, New York (Jets), New England, and Miami. I've put together videos for each of the teams with their schedules: there's a hyperlink to the video at the end of each blurb about the team. Here's each team in the division with a blurb about them.

American Football Conference East

Buffalo Bills

Buffalo struggled last year and won four games late in the season and provided a lot of exciting football keeping games close. The Bills have the NFL's 2nd hardest schedule: this years opponents had a 137-119 record last year. Buffalo will travel 13,640 miles to road games this year. Buffalo will be hard pressed to improve much this year with their challenging schedule. Here's the 2011 schedule for the Buffalo Bills.

Miami Dolphins

Miami has the NFL's 11th toughest schedule in 2011. Miami will travel 20,148 miles this year including a trip to London for a game. Last year the Dolphins went 7-9 with only one win coming at home. They pulled off some big upsets on the road last year. If Miami can win some home games this year they might be a playoff team. Here's the 2011 schedule for the Miami Dolphins.

New England

New England has had good and often great teams for years and quarterback Tom Brady still has some big games left. New England's 2011 opponents had a 129-127 record last year which gives the Patriots with the 16th toughest schedule. Despite the tough schedule they're good enough to win their division in 2011. The Patriots will travel 14,610 miles to road games this year. Here's the Patriots 2011 schedule.

New York Jets

The New York Jets have a team that's on the rise with quarterback Mark Sanchez in his third year in 2011...this will be a revealing year for Sanchez as he will be expected to deliver better big game performances. They were shut out by Green Bay during the 2010 regular season 9-0 in a strong defensive effort by both teams. Sanchez can still be stifled by tough pass defenses. Can the Jets futile and flimsy passing offense find some deep threats to spread out the field? That's something to watch in 2011. The Jets drew the league's 8th toughest schedule in 2011: this year's opponents had a 131-125 record last year. The Jets will travel 12,372 miles this year to road games. Here's the New York Jets 2011 schedule.
