Why the Buffalo Bills Can Win the Super Bowl This Season

It’s not long to go now before the new NFL season gets underway, and we’re already counting down the days to what is hopefully going to be yet another thrilling season. Last season, the Buffalo Bills were the favorites to win the Super Bowl, ahead of the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, while they went 13-3, they were easily beaten in the playoffs by the Bengals.
This season, while the Bills aren’t favorites, they still have a great chance of winning the Super Bowl. The strong core of the team remains, and playing with less pressure this season might prove to be a major advantage.

What Made the Bills Favorites Last Season?
Although the Buffalo Bills have never won the Super Bowl in their history, they found themselves are favorites to win in the opening weeks of last season. So what exactly did the sportsbooks and fans see in them to think they’d be able to compete with the best teams? The biggest reason was that compared to the teams in the AFC West, most fans believed the Bills would have an easier time in the AFC East and be more likely to reach the AFC Championship game in great form.
Aside from that, the Bills had a 34-15 record over the previous three seasons and had reached the AFC Championship game in 2020 and the divisional playoff round the year before. However, they were beaten by the Chiefs in both seasons, including the infamous 13 second loss. While this was a disappointment, the team continued to improve.
Before the start of last season, the Bills had signed talented edge-rusher Von Miller, and the emergence of players like Gabriel Davis helped to take pressure off the starting offensive line. Still, they once again failed to get past the divisional round and were brushed aside by the Cincinnati Bengals.
Why the Bills Still Have a Chance
This season the Bills will start their first game as the third favorite to win the Super Bowl, with sportsbooks still rating them highly. There’s no denying that this is a strong team that is more than capable of getting through the playoffs and winning the Super Bowl. Josh Allen is still in his prime, and Diggs has been comfortably one of the best wide receivers in the sport. In addition, Sean McDermott has coached the team very well to be incredibly well-rounded.
In the offseason, the Bills did ok, bringing in linebacker Tremaine Edwards from the Chicago Bears to bolster their defense alongside former Cowboys guard Connor McGovern and retained Jordan Poyer. In addition, they added Damien Harris to balance the offense and brought in Leonard Floyd on a one-year deal to provide cover in case Von Miller struggles to come back from injury.
The one thing holding back the Bills is their schedule, which has been ranked as the fourth-toughest in the NFL this season. It’s also possible that last season the team was affected by the medical emergency suffered by Damar Hamlin in week 17. If everything goes well this season, they certainly have a chance of a deep playoff run.
The three losses the Bills suffered last season were lost by a combined eight points, showing just how strong the team is. With the right focus and some luck on their side, they could easily post the best NFL season ever and potentially win the Super Bowl.
