The Buffalo Bills are coming off a great 2020 campaign and are primed to be a contender again. They went 13-3 and made the AFC Championship Game, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Josh Allen was vital for the Bills last season; he finished second in the MVP race.
They had a solid offseason, which should help them improve this season. An underrated addition was wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who could have a bounce-back season. The biggest move of the offseason was inking star quarterback Josh Allen to a 6-year $258 million. They also made some key draft picks that should help the Bills improve.
In the first round, the Bills selected defensive end Gregory Rousseau. Rousseau fell down the board due to injury concerns, but his talent is undeniable. They continued to build their defensive line by selecting Carlos Bashman Jr. in the second round. Rousseau and Bashman Jr. should grow together and could form an elite defensive end duo.
These moves in the offseason have put the Bills in a great spot. Here are 4 bold predictions for the Bills in the 2021 NFL season.
4. Bills finish top 10 in sacks
The Bills are loaded with talent on the defensive line, which would lead to a ton of sacks. Their combination of young talent and established veterans will be a nightmare for opposing offenses.
The Bills are in a great position to get more pressure on the quarterback this season.
Head coach Sean McDermott has a great defensive system, and his coaching will only help this defense grow. He has accomplished so much as the Bills head coach, and the talent is vastly improving. McDermott should do wonders with more talent on his defense this season.
Look for the Bills to finish top 10 in sacks this season.
3. Zack Moss has 1,000 total yards
A potential running back for the Bills is running back Zack Moss. Moss had a decent rookie campaign, but he was behind Devin Singletary in the depth chart. This season, Moss is still behind Singletary, but they are expected to split carries this season.
While they are splitting carries, Moss still has a great shot at going for over 1,000 yards. In his rookie season, Moss ran for 481 yards on 112 attempts. He is a physical runner that showed his power throughout his rookie season. If Moss starts strong, he could become the lead back, giving him more opportunity.
Look for Moss to have a breakout 2021 season and take the Bills offense to a new dynamic.
2. Bills win 14 games
The Bills are one of the most well-rounded teams in the NFL. They are bound to have another phenomenal season and win an abundance of games. Last season, the Bills went 13-3, which placed them 2nd in the AFC. This season will be the first season with 17 games, which should translate to 14 plus wins.
The offense could take a jump this season with Sanders as a target. He had an up and down 2020 season but has shown the ability to be an elite receiver. The Bills could revitalize Sanders' career as he will be alongside Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley. He will also have one of the NFL's best players throwing him the ball in Allen. Sanders should be a big beneficiary of the Bills offense and help them win 14 plus games.
The run game should improve even more this season, with a potential breakout year from Moss. The Bills' offense looks primed to be an elite unit once again.
While the offense should be great, the defense is the key to the Bills' success. They should be a much-improved unit this season, which will be major for the Bills. The pass rush should be elite for the Bills, and they have some great players in the secondary.
Look for the Bills to have a fantastic season, winning 14 plus games.
1. Josh Allen wins NFL MVP
The runner-up for MVP last season has a great shot at winning it this year. Allen had phenomenal numbers as he threw for 4,544 yards along with 37 touchdowns. He had a 69.2 completion percentage, but he threw 10 interceptions.
His new target Sanders should help his numbers increase as well as free up Beasley more. Diggs will be the focal point for defenses, allowing Beasley and Sanders to get more opportunities. In this situation, Allen has everything he needs to continue his instrumental success.
If it weren't for Aaron Rodgers' amazing season, Allen would have been MVP last season. Allen is a tremendous talent and will take home the MVP honors this season.
The Bills are ready to have a great season, and fans should look forward to watching it unfold.
