Last week: 20 (+0)
Record: 3-3
I take schedule into account with these power rankings, which is why I always have the Bills higher than most of higher than their level of talent. They’ve be fortunate enough to be in the AFC East and play their non-divisional games against the AFC South and the NFC West, as well as Kansas City and Cleveland, who they’ve already played. Of their final 10 games, 8 are against Miami, the Jets, Tennessee, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Seattle, and St. Louis. Only Houston and New England are “tough” opponents. They would make the playoffs if they were even an average team, which is what I thought they were before the season, but they aren’t. They rank 30th in both yards per play differential and rate of sustaining drives differential. Unfortunately for them, all their easy schedule will do is hurt their draft position and keep them from the top-5 pick and potential franchise quarterback they deserve.
