I’m trying hard not to be an overzealous fan, but I honestly do believe the Bills could be leading the division after week one, consider:
First, of course, the Bills must pull off the mild surprise over the Dolphins—like many of you, I think that is very doable.
Second, everybody in the nation—except Jets fans—will be pulling for them to lose Monday night; having to face a very strong Ravens team, with a jacked-up Ray Lewis, that is a bet I’d take: Ravens over Jets, by a bunch.
Third, you just have the feeling the Patriots are starting the slide. They have the look and feel of the post-super Bills teams of the mid-to-late ninety’s – still competitive, but no one fears them anymore, and there are certainly questions. I think the Bangles will come out on top in a close one.
And the results, Bills in first after one!
