Its close for me, but I'll lean Titans. Only reason b/c I think it's an easier schedule. They play the NFC east, Miami plays the NFC north. I could see the Titans beat 3 of the 4 teams, the NFC north is a tougher matchup, so Tennessee has a better shot at a slightly better record.

Which divisions? And true on coaches.

Nevermind, misread.

I agree about the division, and Tennessee was impressive going into KC and dominating. But I thought KC was highly overrated last year as they won tons of close games and beat like 7 2nd string or 3rd string qbs. But still, a road win against a playoff team where they dominated is huge. KC also looked good against Indy in the playoffs, at least in the first half.

But then Miami beat a team I thought would be really tough. I do remember NE started out slow last year and barely beat the Jets in the opener, so they might just start slow.

I guess I'll have to see week 2 to decide because in any one game anything can happen and I know KC had three turnovers.

It's tough, they both beat good teams. However, I think Miami beat the better team, and I think they have more weapons on the offensive side of the ball. I give them the edge.

Remember that Miami was just one win away from the playoffs last year before they gagged it up late. So it wouldn't shock me if they made it this year. Their D is legit and Tannehill seems to be coming into age.

Yeah, the only reason I was concerned about them coming into the season was their OL was almost completely new and they couldn't quite come together in the preseason. I guess that wasn't a problem against NE.

And Knowshon Moreno looks to be a great addition.

I think Miami has the better QB so id lean on them.
Plus they should of made the playoffs last year but choked

Both teams sure had stinkers after great week 1 performance. Right now the AFC East actually looks a little better than the AFC South (not sure it will last this way throughout the year though). I still thought going into the season Miami was the better team so I'll stick with them as having the better chance of making the playoffs.
