The NFL is nearing its peak and NFL bettors all over the world are flocking to sports betting websites. The big question is, "Who will win Super Bowl XLVII?" As an avid sports bettor who wants to help beginner bettors, I always make NFL betting prediction every season. Here's my NFL betting prediction for AFC Division this season, including the predicted record.
New England Patriots
Predicted Record: 13-3
New England brings back most of the old cast, but adding Brandon Lloyd and beefing up the offensive-line depth was huge this offseason. The Patriots are still considered favorites with Bill Belichick and Tom Brady.
Buffalo Bills
Predicted Record: 9-7
Although the Bills made some big moves with Mario Williams signing and Stevie Johnson staying in town, there are still questions about their offense. Can the offensive tackles protect quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick--and can the aforementioned Fitzpatrick consistently deliver a good football over a 17-week season? The Bills could be a contender for the playoffs if he can.

Predicted record: 6-10
New York is facing a drop in revenue and Tim Tebow cannot save it. The Jets' problems are along the offensive line and in their inability to rush the passer from outside the tackle box. These issues, plus a tough schedule, will see the Jets decline in 2012.
Miami Dolphins
Predicted Record: 3-13
It will be determined who plays quarterback, which will impact the Dolphins record. If Matt Moore is the starter, the record could be much improved. If it's rookie Ryan Tannehill back there, expect many bumps in the road. The Dolphins managed to get worse at receiver--an area of need in the offseason--and will have trouble scoring points in Year 1 of the Joe Philbin reign.
Cincinnati Bengals
Predicted Record: 11-5
The Bengals are bringing back their core team from the 2011 run that was so unexpected. Andy Dalton and A.J. Green will improve and Cincinnati has all the ingredients to be a major player within the NFL.
Baltimore Ravens
Predicted record: 10-6
How well the Ravens respond to the injury of Terrell Suggs is the key to their season. Courtney Upshaw was their first draft pick. https://strangersinzion.org/2023/03/16/top-of-the-line-blackjack-strategy/ She will replace Terrell Suggs's injured shoulder. But the defense could see a major dropoff without the reigning Defensive Player of the Year in the lineup. The offense is again solid, and Joe Flacco is good enough to get the Ravens to the Super Bowl.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Predicted record: 8-8
Don't be surprised--this has been coming for some time now. At this stage in the summer, Steelers' secondary, offensive line, and run game all seem to be a concern. The defense may be younger this year, but they are also less experienced and are relying on many raw players to step in for established veterans.
Cleveland Browns
Predicted Record: 3-13
Cleveland is again, or still, going through a rebuilding phase. It's with Brandon Weeden as quarterback and Trent Richardson running back. The Browns are on the right track, but the holes on the offensive line, at wide receiver and at outside linebacker are still too big to overcome in the AFC's toughest division.
Houston Texans
Predicted Record: 12-4
If they stay healthy, the Texans can be amongst the best in the AFC. Losing Mario Williams won't hurt as much as losing Eric Winston did, but the schedule is relatively easy, and the offense is good enough to put up big points opposite their shutout-quality defense.
Tennessee Titans
Predicted Record: 9-7
Although the Titans are on their way to making it into the playoffs, they're not quite there yet. Jake Locker will be a breath of fresh air at quarterback, and Kendall Wright should have a huge season opposite Kenny Britt.
Once the Titans defense matures, especially at cornerback, watch out.
Indianapolis Colts
Predicted record: 5-11
Luck will not be able work miracles in Indy, but the Colts will be better because of the hard-nosed approach by Chuck Pagano, their determination to create a hard-hitting defense every down. Luck's first season will be a success as he leads the Colts to an improved record and flashes the ability that had him called the best draft prospect of all time.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Predicted Record: 2-14
The early favorite to hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars need a lot of help. Blaine Gabbert won't finish the season as the team's starting quarterback--Chad Henne will--but not before the record is unsalvageable. Lacking talent at receiver and with the defense taking a step back--especially along the front four--the Jaguars will take two steps back in 2012.
Kansas City Chiefs
Predicted Record: 10-6
Kansas City welcomes back Matt Cassel, Jamaal Charles, Tony Moeaki and Eric Berry after they missed considerable time in 2011 to injury. With these four back, plus big free-agent signings in Eric Winston, Kevin Boss, Stanford Routt and Peyton Hillis, expect the Chiefs to be an elite AFC team and the absolute team to put on your NFL betting in the AFC.
Denver Broncos
Predicted Record: 9-7
Peyton Manning will be a big difference in Denver. However, there are still too many holes in the West for the Broncos. Denver's receivers will see increased numbers, but the defensive backfield is still enough of a concern that the Broncos will find themselves lacking at times.
San Diego Chargers
Predicted Record: 8-8
Although the Chargers will have lower expectations this year, the result will be the same. Philip Rivers is an elite quarterback, but his play at times in 2011 didn't back it up. Losing Vincent Jackson will definitely hurt, even with Eddie Royal and Robert Meachem coming to town. However, the big question mark is on defense, where San Diego has struggled with consistency and will again in 2012.
Oakland Raiders
Predicted Record: 6-10
New owner. New coach. Same Raiders. Oakland improved its roster as much as it could without a draft pick until the end of the third round, but this is still a team that has too many holes to compete in a loaded AFC West.
