After winning their third consecutive AFC East title, the Buffalo Bills schedule didn't get any easier. With the season nearly underway, we wanted to try our hand at their win/loss record and see if they can improve on their 13-win season, or if they take a step in the wrong direction for the upcoming year.

With question marks to the offensive line, no clear answer at the MLB position, Von Miller's uncertainty for when he's going to return, and so much more. This season, however it goes, will have all eyes on Buffalo as they are once again among the top teams as Super Bowl favorites.

Week 1: Buffalo Bills @ New York Jets (1-0)

Starting the year off right with a big old W. Aaron Rodgers doesn't historically play well in the first game of the season and there's an unbelievable amount of hype surrounding the New York Jets. Selfishly, I just want the team to win this game so I am giving the Bills the first victory of the season. Go into New Jersey, and silence the critics right off the bat. 

Week 2: Las Vegas Raiders @ Buffalo Bills (2-0)

Another win for Buffalo. The Raiders just cannot contain Josh Allen and the Bills Mafia are going to be partying like it's the 1990's. The home opener just hits differently and the crowd will be a huge factor. That, and the defense is going to find their rhythm.

Week 3: Buffalo Bills @ Washington Commanders (3-0)

Three in a row for the Buffalo Bills. Any given Sunday is a very real thing and a few seasons ago the Commanders came into Buffalo for a schlacking. Expect a close matchup here but Buffalo squeaks out the victory.

Week 4: Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills (4-0)

Miami won a close matchup with temperatures dropping players like flies last year. This year, Miami comes to Buffalo early in the year so they avoid the snow while the Bills avoid playing in the heat. However, Tua has a rough day at the office as Buffalo wins another close one to start the year four and zero.

Week 5: Jacksonville Jaguars @ Buffalo Bills (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium) (4-1)

This is where Buffalo is going to suffer their first loss of the season. A "home" game for the Bills in all actuality is a home game for the Jaguars as they will be in town the week before for another matchup. Maybe some injuries play a factor, maybe the Bills aren't rested, but the Bills lose a tough one here.

Week 6: New York Giants @ Buffalo Bills (4-2)

Brian Daboll coming back to Buffalo will be the biggest storyline for this contest. Buffalo is going to go on their mid-year skid and lose back-to-back games, falling to the Giants in Buffalo and everyone is going to panic and think it's awful.

Week 7: Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots (5-2)

Buffalo reigns supreme over the AFC East and this matchup is no different. Ezekiel Elliott may have himself a day with the question marks surrounding the middle linebacker position, but Buffalo finds a way to win and send the Foxborough faithful home sad. Listen, they have like 900 Super Bowls, giving us the win is fine.

Week 8: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Buffalo Bills (6-2)

The memory of the OT touchdown loss when Tom Brady was at the helm fuels the Bills to a dominant win over the Buccaneers at home. Josh Allen has himself a day and furthers his MVP conversation with a huge win over the Buccaneers.

Week 9: Buffalo Bills @ Cincinnati Bengals (6-3)

While the team is gearing up for a rematch after their brutal loss to the Bengals in the postseason last year, the result will be more of the same. Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense are going to force doubts creep into the minds of the Bills Mafia with a tough loss in Cincinnati as the end of the year inches closer.

Week 10: Denver Broncos @ Buffalo Bills (7-3)

In Buffalo, Monday Night Football, Josh Allen is under the bright lights. While the Denver Broncos' defense is legit, the Buffalo offense is just too much to handle and the Bills win in front of the entire world, handily.

Week 11: New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills (7-4)

You can't win them all, especially against division rivals. Josh Allen and Aaron Rodgers once again will be tied for total wins against one another after this matchup as the Jets come into Buffalo and secure the victory over the Bills. 

Week 12: Buffalo Bills @ Philadelphia Eagles (7-5)

Back-to-back losses for the second straight time during this season for the Buffalo Bills. The Eagles went to the Super Bowl last season and their matchup with Buffalo will be one of the best of the season. Buffalo loses a heartbreaker to Philly.

Week 13: BYE WEEK

Week 14: Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs (8-5)

Sean McDermott, as the kids would say, is cash money after the bye. While Kansas City will be holding onto that one seed, Buffalo makes their late-season push with a crucial victory, in Arrowhead, over the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.

Week 15: Dallas Cowboys @ Buffalo Bills (9-5)

Josh Allen had one of the most memorable games in his career on Thanksgiving during the Dallas Cowboys. This is going to be another statement win for Josh Allen and the Bills with Dallas coming into town. Unfortunately, the Cowboys are going to catch the Bills hitting their stride and the Bills Mafia are going to be more excited than ever for the postseason to begin.

Week 16: Buffalo Bills @ Los Angeles Chargers (10-5)

Another day, another victory for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. While the matchup may be close, Buffalo is red-hot at this point and peaking at the right time. After some big wins to end the year, this game is going to be fun.

Week 17: New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills (11-5)

New England just doesn't have enough firepower to keep up with the Bills as Josh Allen has another dominant performance for the last regular season home game. With back-to-back-to-back-to-back wins at the end of the season, the Bills are more than ready for the postseason.

Week 18: Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins (12-5)

Ending the year with their fourth consecutive AFC East crown is going to be glorious. A healthy Von Miller with the secondary firing on all cylinders. At this point, Buffalo has firmly found their answer at middle linebacker and people are going to be talking about Super Bowl. They ended the season on a high note by taking down their division rival and enjoying a little rest before their postseason battle began.

While it may be a step back from last season, I have the Bills finishing 12-5 in my way-too-early predictions for the upcoming season. Some heartwrenching losses and some tough tests throughout the year will provide the team fuel as they look to accomplish the ultimate goal of a long postseason run that ends with them raising the Lombardi trophy for the first time in team history.

We cannot wait.

Bills key to success revolves around Josh Allen

The Buffalo Bills have high hopes for this season. They have all the tools they need to make a deep playoff run. Here’s how they can make it happen.
