A guess on the season record and how our opponent's power rating look after week 5

 

According to SI, the power rankings after week 5 show the Bills remaining schedule to be against the following teams who are ranked as shown.

 

Titans……..………..........…...#14

BYE

Fish………………..……..........….…………...…..#28

Jags…………….…...…...….......……………..….#32

Jests………………….………….......………...….#29

Colts………………...…………….......……...……#26

Saints…......#12

Patsies…………….…….......#21

Bucs……......#3

Panthers….#11

Patsies………………..….......#21

Falcons……………..…..…....#24

Jests…………………………...……………….…...#29

 

Or shown as a chart:

.….….3….….….….…...........….....11...12.…..14….….….…………….........21…....……...24…...26…......28...29……......32

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9..10..11..12..13..14..15..16..17..18..19..20..21..22..23..24..25..26..27..28..29..30..31.32

 

3 games against top 12 teams, 4 games against top 24 teams and 6 games against bottom 12 teams.

 

When does Trubinski get to play the entire second half?

My guess on the record is 2 more losses and a regular season record of 14-3.

 

 

[RiotAct]

14-3.  I think we lose to Tennessee and then either @TB or week 18 against the Jets when we’re resting a bunch of starters.

[Chandler#81]

Yep. I think 14-3 as well, but Screw it! Nevermind FINALLY topping our record of 13 wins (3X).

BURY IT! 15-2!

[Dablitzkrieg]

This is the first I remember a team having 5 straight bye weeks 🤣

[Warcodered]

Just by how things typically go you're going to lose a couple, but we should be favorite in all of them.

[Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD]

It was really nice of the schedule makers to give us 5 consecutive bye weeks after the Titans game

[billsfan89]

Titans, Saints and Bucs remain the tough games on the schedule. I would say there is a loss in one of those three games plus a fluky upset loss that happens. That would put the team at 14-3 which is pretty solid and puts the team in a good spot for a bye. The Chargers and Ravens are in tougher divisions and if the Bills take care of the Titans they bury them 3 games behind the Bills thanks to the tie breaker.

[Jeffbigalls]

The toughest game will be in Tampa Bay, which I think will be a very tough game, that team is far superior to Kansas gotta get the home run play Chiefs. So right now you can get buffalo at +4.5 at the right spots.

[JohnNord]

You never know which one of those teams will suddenly improve or get hot.  At this point though, I like the schedule given the Bills history of usually taking care of teams they should beat under McDermott
 

 

[Gugny]

I had them at 14-3 before the season started.  After we lost to PIT, I figured we'd go 13-4.  After whooping KC, I'm back to 14-3.

 

 

[Nextmanup]

Looking where we are now and looking ahead, I have 14-3.

 

This season is going to be about locking up home field advantage throughout the playoffs and following a short path to the Super Bowl, and then what we do in the post-season.

 

What will we do with it?

 

 

 

 

[DabillsDaBillsDaBills]

If we were playing those games next week we'd be a double digit favorite in 8 of them. McDermott does a fantastic job of winning games he's supposed to. Was week 1 vs Steelers the first game the Bills have lost as a favorite in his tenure ?

 

Saints, Bucs, Panthers, and Titans are really the only 4 opponents that should give us trouble.  I think worst case is we split those 4 games, and then have 1 random upset loss to get us to 13-4 (barring injuries). 

 

 

[Coastie]

So the Vegas line on Bills wins right now is 12.5, sounds like I should plunk some change down on the over because I would pick 14-3 but wouldn't be surprised at 13-4.

[LeGOATski]

I predicted 13-4, including a loss to WFT, so I guess it's 14-3 now. 

 

The other 2 losses come in the division. @ NE and vs NYJ.

I want to say Bills were favorites going into the Titans game last year.

The Steelers were one of those losses you predicted?

Look at the Chargers schedule, they don't have a remaining brutal schedule.  Left are the Ravens, Bengals Chiefs and Raiders.  They are our number 1 competitor for the #1 seed imo.

[Billsfan1972]

Never jump the gun.  Looks like a great schedule, but the Steelers game too looked like a romp.  Who  jumped on the pre-season 11-6 betting odds?

 

And I think the offense has plenty of room for improvement.

[billybrew1]

I initially predicted 14-3 with losses to KC, Tennessee and Tampa, But my new prediction is 19-1. We're going all the way, baby!

 

Go Bills!

 

Yes, I saw Tampa eradicate Miami last week, and yes, the Bucs looked scary.....Tampa has a schedule very similar toBuffalo now, not much competition aside from us.....That could very well be a Super Bowl preview. I don't know which team is tougher but I'm betting on Buffalo anyhow.....

 

Go Bills!

 

19 - 1 and Super Bowl Champs.

 

The Bills OL will coalesce and become one of the better OLs in the NFL. Allen will progress and figure out how to beat more defenses. Josh's powerful arm will be the obvious difference between the two teams as Josh makes play after play and our highly skilled corners step in front of a couple lame ducks from Brady....Announcers sadly hope TB retires soon and stops embarrassing himself....

 

Go Bills!

We better not lose to TN.  I'm going to the game and their defense is bad....they can't protect Tanny either.

Let Henry have his 100+ and stop everything else.
