This offseason, the Buffalo Bills had one goal; catching the Kansas City Chiefs. Seeing as how they\u2019re arguably the third best team in the NFL coming into the 2021 season, it doesn\u2019t seem that they would have that far to go. But, the Chiefs are a monster that can only be tamed with half their offensive line out, so we won\u2019t know if the Bills did it until the two teams face off on Oct 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did they get better? On paper, it mostly looks like a push. They\u2019ve beefed up their pass rush, but lost some corner depth. On offense, Buffalo switched out some receivers for new guys that bring pretty much the same skillset as the dudes that walked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nope, this season is all about Josh Allen. Can he continue to grow and become the QB he looked like he was blossoming into in 2020 or will he regress, as guys like Jared Goff, Carson Wentz and Jameis Winston did before him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FORECAST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buffalo, as the defending AFC East champion and AFC second place finisher, will get no help from its schedule this season. They play four playoff teams in their first six games, plus the Miami Dolphins, who almost made it into the postseason. The only cupcake they can enjoy before the bye is the hapless Houston Texans, but if they coax a (publicly) wounded Deshaun Watson back, that game becomes a real contest too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t get much better after the bye, with another match up with the Dolphins, then the Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They do get to cruise through the season\u2019s final weeks, with four straight games against teams that all finished below .500 in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Record Prediction:<\/strong> 13-4, AFC East Champion<\/p>\n\n\n\n
