Bleacher Report Bill-eves right now.
B/R pegged their win total guess for every team in the NFL next season, and the Bills are much more than a playoff team. They’re the runaway winners of the AFC East.
Overall, the guess is that the Bills’ record will be 11-5. Here’s part of B/R’s prediction:
It’s quarterback Josh Allen’s time to shine.
The Buffalo Bills acquired wideout Stefon Diggs from the Minnesota Vikings. In 2019, he became a big-play pass-catcher, logging 17.9 yards per reception.
With Allen’s big arm, he and Diggs should connect on several deep balls next season. John Brown, who posted career highs in receptions (72) and yards (1,060) last year, will likely become the No. 2 option. The pair should challenge opposing defenses with speed and crisp routes downfield.
After allowing the second-fewest points during the last term, the Bills defense will look even better. Buffalo signed defensive tackle Vernon Butler, edge-rusher Mario Addison, linebacker A.J. Klein and cornerback Josh Norman, who are all familiar with head coach Sean McDermott from their time with the Carolina Panthers.
You know the additions, you know the expectations. So let’s get straight to the fun.
The Patriots are predicted to finish in dead last in the division in B/R’s predictions with four wins. The Dolphins and Jets both edge out the Patriots, but also don’t even come close to the Bills as their projections have them at five and six wins each, respectively.
There’s been some clamoring that the Bills could make a serious divisional run in 2020. But that’s a bold take by B/R that Bills Mafia will certainly allow.
