The Buffalo Bills delivered their fifth consecutive season with 11-plus wins last year, finishing with a 13-4 record. They reached the AFC Championship Game for the second time in five years, with Josh Allen winning NFL MVP. After falling just short of the Super Bowl, Buffalo will have a chip on its shoulder.
The Bills have consistently proven to be one of the best teams in the NFL, often overcoming injuries in the process. Even with a tough schedule ahead, they are Super Bowl contenders once again this season.
Let’s dive into our game-by-game Bills predictions for the regular season.
There will be fewer better NFL games in 2025 than the Bills versus the Baltimore Ravens. The perennial MVP favorites, Allen and Lamar Jackson, put up a great heavyweight fight nearly every time these two teams match up. Buffalo does have the home-field advantage, but the improvements made to the Ravens’ secondary this offseason could give them an edge. Baltimore pulls it out late, but it’ll be a much better game than the 35-10 blowout from the 2024 season.

Allen and the Bills’ receiving corps should have a field day in Week 3.
