Officially, the AFC playoffs will now go through Foxborough, Mass.

It’s always difficult to project in this topsy-turvy league, but I’m going to say the AFC East. Let me know what you guys think.

Although the Patriots beat the NFC West-champion Cardinals by 40 points, I’m inclined to look at the Dolphins as the team most likely to win the AFC East after their 38-31 triumph at Kansas City.

Teams play them one at a time, but the media doesn’t. Take a look at the Jets schedule down the stretch. It sets up for New York to win the AFC East, have a first-round bye and potentially even catch the Titans for the top seed in the conference.

Three teams — New England, New York, Buffalo — sit atop the AFC East, tied for first place in the division. But the Patriots have a chance in the next three games to create separation.
