The beauty of the NFL is that the season never actually ends.

It’s May, and while part of my attention is on Major League Baseball, the rest of my radar is still focused on the NFL thanks to over/unders recently being released.

Sportsbook.ag has released its numbers and I’ll look at each division and give my best bets for the upcoming season.

Here’s my look at the AFC East. Last year, I tallied a 3-1 record in win total projections for the AFC East.

New England Patriots

Over/under 12.5 (-135 o/even u)

The creme de la creme of NFL betting. Since 2010, no team has done better against the spread than the Patriots, owning a 59.7 percent cover rate during that time span.

Even though the expectations are always high, the Patriots are the one team that can live up to those lofty goals. And that’s why oddsmakers are juicing the over, meaning there’s better value with the under. And I’m siding with the under.

The Patriots are going back to the playoffs; that’s a no-brainer. But despite their dominance, they’ve won more than 12 games only once since 2012 (last year’s screw-you-NFL-year).

New England is probably even better this year, but the focus won’t be near as sharp as last year. New England has played in seven Super Bowls since 2001 (including last year). Only once has the team come back the next year and won more than 12 games.

I’m siding with the under. — Verdict: Under 12.5

Miami Dolphins 

Over/under 7.5 (-130 o/even u)

Part of the reason New England has been so dominant is that the rest of the division has been weak. Oddsmakers believe that to be true once again, which is why Miami is the next-best team with an over/under of 7.5.

Call me crazy, but I don’t mind this Miami team. The offensive line was solid last season in the run game with Jay Ajayi’s emergence, and that should only get better with Mike Pouncey’s return. Ryan Tannehill isn’t great, but he’s not terrible either.

The defense was more than serviceable last year and that should continue. The team won 10 games last year and made the playoffs. I know people are expecting some regression, but not enough that the win total should slip below eight. — Verdict: Over 7.5

Buffalo Bills

Over/under 6 (-130 o/even u)

At first glance, this number seemed like an easy over. Upon further reflection, though, I’m not on board with the Bills in 2017.

Rex Ryan knows how to be mediocre. Good or bad, that’s just who he is. And with this talent, that was saying something in the past few years. Tyrod Taylor is a liability at the quarterback position and LeSean McCoy can’t continue to carry the load like he has in the past.

The defense was a bottom-half defense in the NFL in 2016. And the offense was a middle-of-the-pack unit that could really only run the ball. I’m in with oddsmakers on this for a regression from their seven-win campaign in 2016. — Verdict: Under 6

New York Jets

Over/under 5.5 (+120 o/-150 u)

I hate to the bearer of bad news, but the New York Jets have a few too many deficiencies to overlook.

The quarterback position is a mess, but you don’t have to have a dynamic quarterback to be mediocre. There’s plenty of teams with bad quarterbacks who at least could reach eight, maybe even nine wins. The issue for the Jets is that those teams have quality players in other positions.

Matt Forte will get hurt again. Eric Decker is the No. 1 wide receiver. And the defense isn’t much improved from a bottom-10 unit that gave up toward the end of last season. There’s not much to like about this team and I’m actually surprised the over/under is so high.

Oddsmakers are being too kind. — Verdict: Under 5.5
