Last week: 12 (-3)

Record: 2-1

This Bills fall despite winning for several reasons. One is the injury to CJ Spiller. Both he and Fred Jackson are questionable this week and will probably be back eventually, but it’s definitely not a good thing. The other is just that other teams in the AFC and have leaped them and the only reason they were in the top 12 is because top 12 is my playoff teams. I have Buffalo finishing one spot out of the playoffs now. An easy schedule, a good defense, a good running game, an excellent offensive line (first in the league in pass block efficiency) and a quarterback who can be decent if you give him time should allow them to be competitive and be in it until the last week or so, but I have them just missing.
