Buffalo Bills 2024 game-by-game predictions

The NFL, and in turn, the Buffalo Bill, have released their 2024 schedule, and we now know the order in which they will play their games. 

And with all the excitement and anticipation now in the air, everyone will begin deciphering how they see the season turning out for Buffalo. With that in mind, here are my game-by-game predictions for the Bills.

Week 1: vs Arizona Cardinals

While the Cardinals may be exciting with the addition of Marvin Harrsion Jr. to compliment Kyler Murray, Buffalo is the better team top to bottom and will start off with a win. 

Final prediction: Bills 27, Cardinals 17 (1-0)

Week 2: at Miami Dolphins

Josh Allen is 10-2 against the Dolphins for his career. That second number isn't changing. 

Final prediction: Bills 30, Dolphins 20 (2-0)

Week 3: vs Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars have Trevor Lawrence, who can cover up a lot of mistakes. That said, I have questions about their defense. 

Final Prediction: Bills 28, Jaguars 23 (3-0)

Week 4: at Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens will take a step back in 2024. That's not to say they'll be putrid, but the Bills' defense can handle Baltimore's offense.

Final prediction: Bills 24, Ravens 13 (4-0)

Week 5: at Houston Texans

The Texans will be very good in 2024. Good enough where the Bills don't win the Stefon Diggs revenge game.

Final Prediction: Texans 27, Bills 21 (4-1)

Week 6: at New York Jets

The Jets will be much improved for obvious reasons- the obvious reasons wears No. 8 and says "hut." The Bills will drop the first game to the Jets.

Final Prediction: Jets 23, Bills 17 (4-2)

Week 7: vs. Tennessee Titans

The Bills come home after a three-game road trip to face a Titans team that has done its best to help Will Levis. While they'll be better, they won't give the Bills a third straight loss. In fact, the Bills will be hungry to prove a point.

Final Prediction: Bills 37, Titans 16 (5-2)

Week 8: at Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks seem to be in a state of transition. A west-coast trip might give the Bills a bit of jet lag, but they'll still escape with a win.

Final prediction: Bills 26, Seahawks 20 (6-2)

Week 9: vs Miami Dolphins

Until the Dolphins beat Josh Allen in Buffalo, I'm not going to pick against the Bills. 

Final Prediction: Bills 24, Dolphins 20 (7-2)

Week 10: at Indianapolis Colts

The Colts will be a good team and this will be a high-scoring battle of dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks. However, the Bills will win their fourth straight.

Final Prediction: Bills 34, Colts 30 (8-2)

Week 11: vs Kansas City Chiefs

The Bills seem to have the Chiefs' number in the regular season, but not this time around. However, maybe that will be a good omen if they face them in the playoffs again. 

Final Prediction: Chiefs 26, Bills 21 (8-3)

Week 12: Bye

Week 13: vs San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers will be in the mix to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, but the Bills will benefit from a week of rest along with the 49ers making the cross-country trip.

Final prediction: Bills 20, 49ers 17 (9-3)

Week 14: at Los Angeles Rams

The Rams are going to be tremendous, especially with their offensive attack of Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and Cooper Kupp. It'll be a close matchup, but the Bills will come up short.

Final prediction: Rams 23, Bills 17 (9-4)

Week 15: at Detroit Lions

This has the potential to be the game of the year, and a potential Super Bowl preview. That said, the Bills rebound and come out on top.

Final prediction: Bills 30, Lions 27 (10-4)

Week 16: vs New England Patriots

The Patriots have a bright future with Drake Maye, but this is a team still a year away from being consistently competitive.

Final prediction: Bills 24, Patriots 10 (11-4)

Week 17: vs New York Jets

The Bills even the season series with the Jets and get their third consecutive win. 

Final prediction: Bills 20, Jets 18 (12-4)

Week 18: at New England Patriots

The Bills will be resting starters with a high playoff seed locked up. The Patriots will win a low-scoring game.

Final prediction: Patriots 20, Bills 16 (12-5)

Final record prediction: 12-5
