    The Buffalo Bills will open their season exactly one week from this writing, which means it’s about that time to predict every game on their 2024 slate, so let’s jump into it.

    Week 1: vs Arizona Cardinals

    The Cardinals will be a fun offense in 2024, but that defense is still full of young unknowns. Buffalo will begin the year 1-0.

    Final prediction: Bills 27, Cardinals 20

    Week 2: at Miami Dolphins

    Josh Allen has made a living out of beating the tar out of the Dolphins. He’s 11-2 vs. Miami (including playoffs) and that trend will continue.

    Final prediction: Bills 34, Dolphins 23

    Week 3: vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

    The Jaguars are going to surprise a lot of people in 2024 with how much they bounce back. I think they defeat Buffalo and give them their first loss.

    Final prediction: Jaguars 30, Bills 23

    Week 4: at Baltimore Ravens

    The Ravens are the most overrated team in football and have lost a ton of pieces over the offseason. The Bills will bounce back and win in Week 4.

    Final prediction: Bills 24, Ravens 16

    Week 5: at Houston Texans

    If there is a game the Bills will be absolutely revved up for, it will be Week 5 in Houston to hand Stefon Diggs a loss, and they’ll get the job done in a potential game of the year.

    Final prediction: Bills 35, Texans 32

    Week 6: at New York Jets

    The Jets have historically played Buffalo tough in the Josh Allen era, and they won the Week 1 matchup between the two teams a year ago. That result repeats in Week 6.

    Final prediction: Jets 20, Bills 17

    Week 7: vs. Tennessee Titans

    The Titans are a complete toss-up as to how good they could be. However, the Bills will get the win regardless.

    Final prediction: Bills 28, Titans 16

    Week 8: at Seattle Seahawks

    Seattle is a team in somewhat of a soft transition period with a new head coach and multiple new defensive pieces. They’ll keep it close, but Buffalo will win.

    Final prediction: Bills 23, Seahawks 20

    Week 9: vs. Miami Dolphins

    Another season sweep for the Bills of the Dolphins is on the horizon.

    Final prediction: Bills 31, Dolphins 24

    Week 10: at Indianapolis Colts

    A lot of people are high on the Colts in 2024, but it will all come down to how good Anthony Richardson will be. Regardless, Buffalo will leave Indy victorious.

    Final prediction: Bills 28, Colts 16

    Week 11: at Kansas City Chiefs

    The Bills have handled the Chiefs in the regular season , winning the last three regular season matchups against Kansas City. They get the win here, and hopefully they ultimately get over the playoff hump against the Chiefs, as well.

    Final prediction: Bills 28, Chiefs 22

    Week 12: BYE

    Week 13: vs. San Francisco 49ers

    The 49ers have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball that may be too much for the Bills in the end.

    Final prediction: 49ers 29, Bills 23

    Week 14: at Los Angeles Rams

    I love what the Rams could be offensively in 2024, but that defense is going to take a step back without Aaron Donald, as well as Raheem Morris and after trading Ernest Jones. The Bills bounce back with a win.

    Final prediction: Bills 33, Rams 24

    Week 15: at Detroit Lions

    This is a sneaky game of the year contender. Two teams that will be vying for respective playoff positions in opposite conferences in the final month of the year, and doing so in a dome where they won’t have any weather conditions to worry about. Expect a high-scoring fiasco, but the Lions come away with a win.

    Final prediction: Lions 37, Bills 35

    Week 16: vs. New England Patriots

    The Patriots are going to be a rough watch offensively, at least until they put Drake Maye in. Even so, the offensive line is brutal, and the Bills will win rather handedly.

    Final prediction: Bills 24, Patriots 9

    Week 17: vs. New York Jets

    The Bills even the season series and get their win back against the Jets at home.

    Final prediction: Bills 26, Jets 17

    Week 18: at New England Patriots

    The Bills will have the division and playoff position locked up in Week 18, which means it’ll be Mike White to end the year and the Patriots will get the win.

    Final prediction: Patriots 20, Bills 12

    Final record prediction: 12-5
