The Buffalo Bills have faced significant changes during the offseason, which has led to CBS Sports taking a conservative approach when predicting their performance in the upcoming season. Despite the under prediction for the Bills, they still have a chance to secure a fifth consecutive divisional crown.
CBS Sports analyzed the AFC East teams and set over/under totals for each one. Interestingly, the outlet has taken the under for not only the Bills but also the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and New England Patriots. Despite this prediction, there is potential for improvement for all teams in the division.
CBS Sports delved deeper into the Bills’ over/under total for 2024, sharing their thoughts on why they believe the team could underperform this season. The loss of key players like Stefon Diggs and concerns on defense have raised some doubts about their ability to perform at a high level. However, despite these challenges, Josh Allen remains a strong leader on the team. The lack of strong offensive weapons has raised some concerns about their ability to score points consistently.
Despite these challenges, there is potential for improvement if players like Dalton Kincaid step up in the passing game. The team may also focus more on running the ball under the guidance of new offensive coordinator Joe Brady. This could help them improve their offense and potentially change their fortunes this season.
Although leaning towards an under prediction based on current number and odds, CBS Sports acknowledges that with right adjustments and performances, any team can surprise this season.
