Could it finally be the Buffalo Bills' year?
They are certainly set up for success based on all the external factors heading into the 2025 season, so it's now up to them.
According to ESPN's David Purdum, the Bills have opened as favorites in all 17 of their regular-season games this season. They are the only NFL team to get that honor.
And that includes tough matchups against the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, and Cincinnati Bengals. But, what makes it better is that those three teams will have to travel to Buffalo and play in front of Bills Mafia at Highmark Stadium.
Based on Sharp Football Analysis' Strength of Schedule Chart, the Bills have the fifth easiest, with only the San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and Atlanta Falcons in front of them.
The Bills were also given a Week 7 bye, which is considered to be one of the more coveted spots. A team can be assigned a bye week as early as Week 5, while the latest is Week 14. For Week 7, it is somewhat in the middle, with the team set to play six games before and 11 after.
Buffalo has the reigning NFL MVP and now with this schedule, they have all they need to get over that final hump and get a Super Bowl championship.
