According to a study done by the Harvard School Analysis Collective, the New England Patriots are not the best team in the AFC. They are not even listed as the best team in the AFC East. The method that was used by Kurt Bullard to come up with these results is below. "The method that I came up with uses Pro Football Reference’s Approximate Value statistic, the site’s best measure of trying to tease out individual talent. Then, using ESPN’s NFL depth charts, I aggregated each team’s per game approximate value of what I considered to be the 'core' makeup of an NFL team: QB, RB, 2 WR, TE, Top 2 OL, the Top-4 'Front Seven' defensive players, and the Top-2 players from the secondary."
