The Miami Dolphins’ breakout season in 2008 with an 11-5 record and AFC East division title is becoming a distant memory after back-to-back 7-9 seasons brought them back to reality.
When the early odds were released for this year’s Super Bowl, the Buffalo Bills had the highest number in the AFC to win at +10000.
When the betting public begins to pore over the projected win totals at the beginning of each season, Cleveland has a tendency to pop into the conversation as a team poised for a breakout year.
This is one franchise that loves getting in its own way when it comes to success. The 2009 season appeared to be a turning point for Cincinnati, after winning the AFC North with a 10-6 record, but the glory was short lived after falling back to earth with just four victories in 2011.
The Baltimore Ravens have been the bridesmaid in the AFC North the past three seasons, with three straight wildcard berths and three straight exits from the playoffs after losing a game on the road. Head Coach John Harbaugh has done an excellent job in building a team that is more than capable of scoring points on offense, and extremely good at shutting teams down on defense.
Surrounded by all the turmoil and controversy with their starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, not to mention a four-game suspension, the 2010 Pittsburgh Steelers were able to avoid a slow start on their way to a 12-4 record, an AFC North title, and a playoff run that landed them in Super Bowl XLV.
Last season’s slide to a 6-10 finish not only ended quarterback Vince Young’s days in Tennessee, it cost longtime Head Coach Jeff Fisher his job after compiling a 146-120 record since taking the team over with six games left to play in the 1994 season.
Jacksonville Head Coach Jack Del Rio was able to salvage an 8-8 record last season that in turn salvaged his job for at least one more season.
The Houston Texans slipped to third in the AFC South last season with a record of 6-10, which has to be considered a major disappointment after ending up with the first winning season in franchise history in 2009 with a record of 9-7.
The Indianapolis Colts won their second straight AFC South title in 2010, their seventh in the last eight seasons, but were hardly the dominant team of the past with a 10-6 record overall.
The Oakland Raiders made it all the way to the Super Bowl after the 2002 season and had not been heard from since with seven straight losing season, until last year’s 8-8 record returned some hope to the ‘Sliver and Black’s’ faithful legion of fans.
Legendary Bronco quarterback John Elway is back in the picture with Denver as a member of the front office, but unless he can get in good enough shape to reclaim his place behind center, 2011 is shaping up as another long season for this team.
When Todd Haley took over the head coaching duties in Kansas City in 2009, he inherited a team that won six games in the previous two seasons combined.
San Diego is coming off a 9-7 record in 2010 but had what has to be considered a down year after failing to win the AFC West and missing the playoffs for the time since ending up in the exact same predicament in 2005.
With the 2011 NFL regular season set to kick-off in a couple of months (Hopefully), it is time to take a look at each team’s current odds to win their conference as we begin to put the pieces together to try and figure out which two teams will meet next February in Super Bowl XLVI.
