Well, we just got the NFL schedule release, and the Bills are a fascinating case as we look at their w- season win total.
They have a bunch of shortened weeks.
They've got four sets of back-to-back road games and two Monday night road games.
All of this, a very tough challenge for a first-year head coach, Drew.
Buffalo's win total sitting there at 10 and a half.
A lot of experts think it's right around there, right at 10, but what do you make of the year, that's in store for the Bills?
Yeah, color me un- unimpressed with their off-season.
DJ Moore was a f- fine value for what they got him for, but, ultimately I was not, impressed specifically with what they did on the defensive side of the ball.
This was a roster that needed a really serious refresh of talent, and they did not get it.
And now with this very difficult schedule and a really, kind of a competitive, you know, kind of co-favorites in my opinion in this division with the Patriots, I think the Bills are gonna struggle to get to 11 wins.
Patriots I think will get to double digits, but with their schedule, looks extremely tough, so nine and a half feels exactly right for them.
if I was gonna shop win totals, I would probably mostly look at the bottom of the AFC East.
the Jets right now at five and a half are interesting to me f- for the, the over potentially, considering they have, put a lot now into this roster.
and they actually may have too much talent to tank, which is what they ought to do for the franchise's sake of getting a quarterback of the future.
But, I think the Jets come in at seven wins, and I think the Dolphins are gonna struggle mightily to get to five.
This, under four and a half I think is gonna get bet pretty significantly.
they do at least now have adults in the room, everybody rowing in the same direction, for the Miami Dolphins, but the talent just is not there, particularly on defense.
So I think Dolphins under, Jets over are the two that stand out to me.
