The Buffalo Bills have huge expectations for this upcoming season, hoping to claim their first-ever Lombardi trophy with a roster filled with superstars, and some big questions that need immediate answers.

Obviously, health will play the biggest factor in the team's success. If they can stay healthy, they should be one of the top teams in the entire league. 

With their first contest against the New York Jets almost underway, we wanted to take a look at the season as a whole and provide some bold predictions for what we think is going to happen. Specifically, a few players who we think can shine.

Here are our 3 bold predictions for the Buffalo Bills 2023 NFL Season

1. Tre White returns to All-Pro form

When White went down two seasons ago on Thanksgiving with a torn ACL, our heart broke. The talented CB has been fighting and clawing his way back to the team and had an average season last year.

Historically, it takes a player a full season to really get back into form and we saw that with White last year. Before his injury, White was an absolute game-changer for the defense and clamped down receivers as good as anyone else in the league.

Our bold prediction is that White is going to return to his dominant form. So much so that White is going to be one of a few Buffalo Bills players who are going to earn All-Pro honors. 

2. Greg Rousseau earns DPOY votes

Getting after the quarterback was a big concern when Von Miller went down with a torn ACL. Luckily, Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane had previously drafted the absolute monster of a human being that is Rousseau.

Each year, Rousseau has taken an important step. With additions like Leonard Floyd and the eventual return of Miller, Rousseau is going to have an advantage with some one-on-ones throughout the season.

Our bold prediction is that Rousseau is going to break out in a massive way. So much so, there are going to be conversations about him being DPOY. While he may not win the award, he's going to propel himself into one of the best pass rushers in the entire league.

3. Josh Allen has a career year and emerges as the MVP

The Buffalo Bills franchise quarterback has already defied all of math itself. The dual-threat QB is an absolute game-changer on the football field. While he may not have the best protection up front, we think that this may be the best group of weapons he's had in his entire career.

With Stefon Diggs being the absolute monster he is, paired with Gabe Davis coming into the season healthy and ready to take the league by storm, Allen has arguably one of the best one-two punches at receiver in the entire league.

Pair that with the latest addition of Dalton Kincaid who has shined throughout camp and is looking to carve out a substantial role in the offense, with one of the highest-paid tight ends lined up alongside him with Dawson Knox, the sky is the limit for the offense.

Allen has also been given reinforcements that are flying under the radar in Trent Sherfield and the recently signed Deonte Hardy.

The Buffalo Bills QB is going to put up some monster numbers this season and remind the rest of the NFL why he deserves to not only be on the cover of Madden but that his recent addition to the MVP conversation wasn't a fluke. 

At the end of the season, we predict Josh Allen will be hoisting the MVP trophy with his best statistical season to date, as long as the offensive line can hold up long enough for him to dissect the defense.

We may look back at this and laugh, but the offseason is all about bold takes and high hopes. The NFL season can't start soon enough.
