Very Early Season Prediction with game by game Explanation.

[PrimeTime101]

At Jets W

I think its going to take time for the Jets to grow as a cohesive unit. The Jets do still have a very good defense But I think we win by 10

 

Vs Raiders W

Revenge game for Buffalo, it looks close till the second half. We lost the last 2 against the raiders..

Payback.  But we still win!  

 

At Washington W

We won 8 out of the last 9 against Washington and I do not think this will be any different. Washington put a team

together this year and even though they are not great... this could be a stinker.

 

Vs Miami W

Miami lost their heat in the sun stadium advantage this year and they will be playing against a 

more healthy Josh Allen. This game is.. PERSONAL. Not just for us fans. We win by 13 and it never looks close.

 

Vs Jacksonville** L 

This will be the Bills first loss that will come at the end of the game. I think we tire out first and they take advantage

 

Vs Giants W

This is going to be the "Dorsey revenge, I am better than you" Blow them out of the house and Knock the Giants back

to reality. This will be our first blowout win and yea... Many will say "I stopped reading after this" I do not care lol. Giants are going to get what is coming

 

At NE W

Kincaid break out win, catches 7 times for over 100 yards. Patriots have been in the middle of the road while defending good TE's but have struggled against Great TD's. I expect another Ipad or phone to get broken this game. Thanks Bill.. You turned out to be the gift that keeps giving. 

 

Vs Tampa L

Don't beat me up on this one guys... there is always one game every year where we should of blown them out and take an L because of stupid play by somebody. TAG.. Tampa is it... 

 

At Cinci W

Oof.. this team is built to beat the Bills. Big bruising players on offense and a fast defense. Good thing for us we are not on a Injury streak, emotions running wild with everyone's head not in the game. WE win by 3 last drive.

 

Vs Bronco's W

This team could be sneaky good this year... could be... just not against a top 3 team. It never looked close...

 

Vs Jets L

The jets will be scarry this time of year... they will look good and in this game.. Their defense bites us in the arse hard.

 

At Philli W

The most complete team in the league bar none. Eagles just had 2 emotional teams before us. The Cowboys then KC. KC beats both of them but they will not beat all 3 of us. We will be up for the challenge and show the world what would happen if we play the Eagles in a SB. Win by 6

 

Bye WIN!

Well.. you can not record this as a win but it is a win for buffalo. 

 

At KC W

The Bills will NOT be rusty going into this game.. they know what this game means and they may have extra time off but they do not take it on their own time. The team has time to watch ample tape against KC and we will be ready and it will show. WIN 10 points.

 

Vs Dallas L

We will be flying high after defeating Philli and KC in a 3 week period and will be flying high... to damn high... we take an L here and we are knocked down to reality that this team is good but we can not will a win every game. 

 

At LA W

LA want's payback and they will not get it... poor LA.. 

 

Vs NE W

Snow windy day against NE at NE again.. another day where neither offense gets it together till the end.

 

At Miami W

No Josh Allen Injured Elbow... No hot sun to help them as the High/Low is 74/63 in January. Miami takes their biggest loss of the year... again.. at the end of the year... Then we play them in the Wildcard in Buffalo and take another huge loss.

 

Bills 13-4 Wins the Tiebreaker against KC. AFC Champs.

FWIW- We beat the Raiders in LV during the covid year. 

[No_Matter_What]

We did not lose last 2 vs Raiders, we won last 2 games.

 

And we are not losing in London vs Jags, I'll be there to make sure

 

13-4 looks good to me.

[MasterStrategist]

13-4 would be a great record, with our schedule. 

 

Game 1 against Jets will be a great litmus, to see our improved OL/weapons against a very good front 4 and secondary.

 

Philli (it's Philly btw), is the 1 game that I feel we will struggle.  Rest of schedule is definitely winnable, we should be in every game and hopefully get to 13 wins.

I think we turn out to be a bad match for Philli. It will still be close but we edge them out. 

[SoCal Deek]

What am I missing? What exactly does LA want payback for? You’re aware we beat the Rams, not the Chargers last year….right? 

[Wizard]

Although it is a tough schedule, playing Cincy, KC, Philly, Dallas, and an expected improved division will certainly be good for the team to become battle tested and get a sense of where they are at prior to the playoffs.

Ah yes I remember being irate at the lack of punishment for them, having what seemed like half their team at a maskless and crowded event in clear violation of league rules.  Almost as bad as the Titans with their secret off base practices.

[Mr. WEO]

So we beat the best team in Florida twice.....and lose to the other 2?

 

 

lol

 

also, "revenge"....against the Raiders?  Dorsey against....the Giants??

 

wtf is this about??

[90sBills]

So 3-0 on the road against the 3 toughest opponents on the schedule. Interesting. 

[ganesh]

4 home losses (JAX is a home-away-home game for the Bills).  

 

I see the Bills losing at PHI and one loss against CIN or MIA, but likely get WIN back from JAX and TB

[Success]

The OP is how seasons go.  It's so easy to look at a schedule and put the "L's" next to the top teams - but that's almost never how it works out.

raiders was my mistake, I do not hide from them.. that is why i crossed it out and said we still win. Giants is a revenge game because our former OC is there and many feel on this board that he was the end of all means and is now HC of Giants. so it makes it kind of a revenge game. 

[BigDingus]

And somehow KC will still get the #1 seed...

6 minutes ago, PrimeTime101 said:

Pretty sure he means you have them going 3-0 against the 3 toughest teams on the schedule, all away games. 

 

Philly, KC and Cincy, all penciled in as road wins. Seems unlikely, but I'll take it!

I said 3 toughest opponents not 3 games stretch. Yeah KC Cincy Philly. Unlikely but that’d be great. 

[GETTOTHE50]

At cinci and KC are the only games that can be considered ‘acceptable’ losses.

 

I especially don’t see us losing to freaking Dallas or TB of all teams.

I'd be happy with 2 out 3 wins against the above opponents and  preferably Conference wins against KC and Cinci.

[corta765]

I would probably swap the Jets W-L with each other and I think they beat TB and lose to KC, but otherwise schedules are weird and the games you win and lose always never plan perfect so yea this is probably more true then people realize.

[Fleezoid]

Where's the fast-forward button?

 

 

I'm in Florida, so don't mind skipping summer.

[Juice_32]

I have a funny feeling that the schedule just won’t matter this year. Single Josh is going scorched earth on the whole NFL. This is the year.

Dallas isn't a gimme but Tampa and Baker Mayfield? Or maybe by that late in the season Kyle Task shouldn't be an issue.

[RoyBatty is alive]

I would be thrilled with a 13-4 season.

 

I think 11-6 or 10-7 is realistic.  I could see any of the 4 winning the AFCE, with the probably exception of the Patriots who have a mediocre QB.

If Tua gets hurt (unfortunately there is a good chance of that happening) then I can't see the Dolphins despite their roster winning the division with Mike White as the QB. He is a serviceable backup but that's it. It will probably come down to the Bills and Jets. I have the Bills floor as 10-7 with their ceiling at 12-5.

[EasternOHBillsFan]

At Jets W

The Bills have been an excellent team in Week 1, and always seem to be very sharp. Do not be surprised if we hit Rodgers a few times and ring his bell.

 

Vs Raiders W

The Raiders for the most part are devoid of talent and Jimmy G will soon realize he is not in San Francisky anymore (sorry for the SCTV reference). This game will be an easy W.

 

At Washington W

Sam Howell is at QB for the Commanders and won't do very well against our defense. It's not a very good year for Bienemy, especially in this game. 

 

Vs Miami W

Miami will already have played at Chargers, at Patriots and against the Broncos under new HC Sean Payton. Tua may not even start in this game, and even if he did he will have already felt the sting of three really solid Ds in a row.

 

Vs Jacksonville** L 

Jacksonville will have already been in London for over a week when they play us, setting us up for a time adjustment disadvantage. They ALWAYS play us tough and I hate it,

 

Vs Giants W

If this game was at Met Life, I would have given the Giants the W here, but in Buffalo Daniel Jones won't find it very hospitable. I see Dorsey making sure that his friend doesn't get the edge here, Bills win close.

 

At NE L

Something tells me that the Bills will struggle with the upgraded Pats defense and they will lose on some fluky play- I don't see us getting to 6-1 at this point and there will be a game we shouldn't lose which is this one.

 

Vs Tampa W

Tampa Bay without Brady is cottage cheese... we will be able to cut right through them and never look back. This game will be very ugly for the Bucs as the Bills will come out angry and out for blood.

 

At Cinci L

Last season they had us dumbstruck after a quarter and then again after a whole game at Orchard Park. They are a great team and I feel as if they have our number at this point, and I can't see us winning this game under any circumstances with Burrow at QB.

 

Vs Broncos W

I'm not buying the Payton hype for their offense- I believe Russ is washed and he will probably be toast by this game. Their defense will be formidable but we have the horses on offense to win. Von comes back around this time and goes ham.

 

Vs Jets W

By this point in the season, Rodgers will be out on the IR and the Jets will have to rely solely on their D to win. Not happening with a bare bones secondary option at QB, Bills win.

 

At Philly L

The Eagles are a great team as well with Hurts at QB, and on the road we will struggle containing their offense. Philly will probably hand us our worst loss of the season.

 

Bye

 

At KC W

We own the Chiefs during the regular season now, and I don't see that changing. Although their D will have improved in the secondary, until the Chiefs prove they can buck the trend, I like the Bills here.

 

Vs Dallas W

Dallas is depleted on offense and Dak will be lucky to make it through the season with injury issues and a fanbase that is pissed off at Jurray and his son's mismanagement. This game will be smooth sailing at home.

 

At LA L

The Chargers aren't the same as they were last year with losses on offense, but their defense is still one of the toughest in the league. We have always struggled historically playing the Chargers out west and I will side with the trend- Bills can't overcome key turnovers on offense in a loss.

 

Vs NE W

This game will be an utter joke- the Pats, long since eliminated from the playoffs and the Bills pissed off from the early loss in Foxboro. Bills in a rout!

 

At Miami W

Tua will by this time be considered a bust and the Dolphins will want to move off of him. By this time another QB will be starting for them and the Bills will try aand give the game away once again like in 2022 but they will prevail.

 

12-5, #2 seed in the AFC, losing out to Cincy.

Seems like it always end up that way recently. Will gladly trade any regular season wins with KC and Cincy for playoff wins! 

[Simon Says]

13-4 sounds about right but I dont agree with the games you picked as losses

[hondo in seattle]

We go 1-1 against Miami and the Jets.

 

We go 2-0 versus NE

 

We beat Las Vegas, Washington, JAX, Cinci, NYG, Tampa, Denver, Dallas, and LA Chargers.   

 

We lose to Philly, KC.

 

We also lose to one of the teams I previously said we'd beat.

 

12-5.

Bills 13-4 Wins the Tiebreaker against KC. AFC Champs. 

 

 

 

Here is my prediction

@ Jets- We come out and play well VS a motivated and well prepped Jets team and squeak by with a victory  WIN  1-0

Vs Raiders-We dominate Vegas at home WIN 2-0

@ Washington- Close 1st half, we turn it into a multiple TD victory in the second half WN 3-0

VS Dolphins-Close game, high scoring and we pull it out in the end.  Home field advantage puts us over WIN 4-0

VS Jax Another tough game, and we do not play well typically against DUVALLL and they are on fire in London. LOSS 4-1

VS Giants Sorry Dabs, we k now how to beat you and Danny dimes  5-1

@ NE*  his defense is good, but we are better.  People start asking around this time if Belichick is gonna make it long enough to beat Shulas record  WIN 6-1

VS Tampa at night, Tampa is over matched bur puts a up a good fight for a few quarters. WIN 7-1

@ Cinci Oh boy, as a homer, the Bills BETTER come out and play their best ball of the year WIN 8-1

VS Broncos  Russ sucks.  WIN 9-1

VS Jets  another game that can go either way, I think Rodgers will cause more problems than solutions for the Jets, so thats my bet. WIN 10-1

@ Philly.  Let down in Philly before the bye week.. LOSS 10-2

BYE  much needed right here

@ KC  a shoot out, but we are better and want to prove it coming out the Bye week. WIN 11-2

VS Dallas  Let down game at home after KC, mistakes cost us LOSS 11-3

@ LA Chargers  we travel to LA pissed off and dominate in surprising fashion.   WIN 12-3

VS NE.  NE is playing great and we are brought to reality but squeak by with a win.  WIN 13-3

@ Miami We have the #1 seed  clinched and get to rest our starters but allow Miami to gain a playoff birth, which we may regret later  13-4

 

#1 SEED

SB Victory

finally

Jax, Jets., TB and Dallas? I don't think Bills lose 4 times to this group.

I don't believe they beat KC AND Bengals; one or the other, not both.

opinions vary man. I just think this year we win the big one's and lose the ones we should not have.  Don't underestimate the jets late season. Jax got much better, and Dallas runs hot and cold. 

[Buffalo Super Fan]

I am not going to go game by game 2023 Buffalo Bills schedule but I expect the AFC East Division championship again in 2023. The talent is here to win a Super Bowl anything less is a failed season for the Buffalo Bills in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo 

[SF Bills Fan]

I see us as 10-7 or 11-6 with losses to the Jets (1), Miami (1), KC, Cinci, Philly and Jags and possibly a team we don't see coming like Commanders or Tampa.

I’d be perfectly OK with this. After last year I’m completely over the quest for home field advantage. I’d prefer they’d be tested but ready for the playoffs!
