The time has come once again to discuss and predict who I feel will be the champions of the AFC East Division on or before Monday Jan. 9th, 2023. The entire divisional breakdown is in this hour of The Prophet's Picks Football podcast.

The Rams are Super Bowl Champions for the 2nd time in their franchises history but they've got to prove it all again this year as Matthew Stafford rolls into his 14th season can he stay healthy and put a performance together that'll live in the halls of Canton Ohio?

The Bengals have to repeat their performances from the 2021 season. Until they do they won't be considered a consistent threat to the AFC teams that consistently win year in and year out. This is a solid argument now though especially since Cincinnati has Joe Burrow leading this offense and the franchise.

The only weakness San Francisco has is the quarterback position correct? I would argue that point as the Debo Samuel situation may weaken both the receiver and running back rooms if he leaves. With that said I just gave the 49ers and their fans the biggest chip on their shoulders they haven't had in a long, long, time.

Kansas City is the NFL'S current dynasty, Super Bowls or not, they've been in the AFC Championship game since Jan. 2018, they've been to back to back Super Bowls winning 1 and even though Tyreek Hill was traded to my Miami Dolphins without hesitation I'd argue the Chiefs could be better now without Hill than they where with T.H. 10.

Buffalo isn't a joke and this team only got better this past offseason. I don't know if that's even possible but some way, some how the Bills got even better the question is can they translate this too the field this year?

The Buccaneers no longer have Rob Gronkowski as he announced his retirement earlier today, but still retain the services of a very productive and professional Thomas Brady. Which is all they really need honestly, this opens the door for older veterans in the TE room like Cameron Brate to exhibit a breakthrough performance on the field in 2022 with Brady tossing Brate the rock.

Packers like the Titans won in the regular season to gain a 1st round bye and number 1 seed, and just like Tennessee, Green Bay lost their 1st postseason game they apoeared in. This roster is still a championship roster, but how far can the offense go without DeVante Adams.

The Titans failed miserably in their first postseason game in January 2022 as the number 1 seed in the AFC. A lot of that was Ryan Tannehill's fault but not all of it. The roster is set amd now the question is can Tennessee build off of their successes from 2022 and learn from failures in 2022?

Arizona has a whole lot of work to do, close but not even no where near close enough with a wild card round exit this past January 2022. Can Kingsbury as a head coach bounce back woth Murray as a possible prolific franchise quarterback.
