Buffalo Bills projected to contend for AFC East title

The Buffalo Bills are projected to contend for the AFC East title following significant organizational changes. BetOnline has set the Bills' over/under for division wins at 4.5 for the 2026 season, a figure supported by their recent history of achieving four or more division wins in four of the last six seasons.

Following a second-place finish in 2025, the Bills underwent a leadership transition, promoting Joe Brady to head coach after the departure of Sean McDermott. The team has revamped its roster with key additions, including wide receiver DJ Moore and defensive players such as Bradley Chubb and C.J. Gardner-Johnson. While analysts suggest the offense is poised to flourish, concerns remain regarding the defense's ability to stop the run and its adjustment to new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard.
