Bills over 7 wins
Youmans: A strong argument can be made that Buffalo is the AFC East's second-best team. While the focus is generally on quarterback Josh Allen and his development, it's important to emphasize Buffalo ranked No. 2 in the NFL in total defense (294.1 yards per game) last season. First-round pick Ed Oliver adds strength to the defensive front. The Bills filled needs in the draft and were active in free agency, showing an urgency to win in coach Sean McDermott's third year. The schedule is weak enough to find eight wins, and maybe nine.
Allen has more playmakers, including wideouts Cole Beasley and John Brown, and the offensive line is improved. Allen still has a long way to go, but Buffalo's offense is no longer one of the league's worst.
