The Buffalo Bills are hoping to win the AFC East for a fourth straight season in 2023.
But it won't be easy.
The AFC East is poised to be one of the toughest divisions in the NFL in 2023. With Aaron Rodgers joining the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins having a seemingly endless supply of offensive weapons, it would appear that Buffalo is in for a tough division battle this fall.
Despite the addition of Rodgers to the Jets, the Bills are still viewed by most analysts as the best team in the division.
And that's why CBS Sports' Will Brinson has the Bills winning the AFC East in 2023 with a 12-5 record (he has the Jets finishing second at 10-5, the New Patriots in third at 9-8, and the Miami Dolphins in fourth at 8-9).
From CBS Sports: A very easy selection for me at the top: Buffalo might be "down" after failing to beat the Chiefs again, but this roster is still loaded and — last I checked — Josh Allen is still very, very good. The presence of Aaron Rodgers can put up for debate "best quarterback in the division" but I'll still take Allen relative to the continuity issues each of them face. If the Jets offense takes flight out of the gate — without any delays, even — this could be a different story. And I think the Jets will push Buffalo here as long as Rodgers stays upright and healthy. But Buffalo is great value in the betting market and definitely strong value in the prediction market if everyone and their brother is dabbling in Big Apple futures.
The Bills have come up short of their goal in recent seasons. But that doesn't change that this is one of the best rosters in the NFL.
Until someone knocks them off, the Bills are the kings of the AFC East. And adding Rodgers to the division does nothing to change that.
