Will the Buffalo Bills Go Undefeated? Vegas Thinks So

Can Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills complete the first undefeated regular season since the 2007 Patriots? Nobody’s pulled it off since the NFL expanded to 17 games in 2021—but Vegas says Buffalo might be the team to do it.

Why? The Bills are the only team favored in all 17 of their games this season.

And it’s not like they’ve got a cupcake schedule. They open against the Ravens and will face the Chiefs, Bengals, and Eagles before the year is over. It’s not far-fetched to think they could win all four... but it’s just as likely they could lose each one.

Buffalo finished 13-4 last year and came up just short in a heartbreaker against the Chiefs in the AFC Championship. The good news? As long as Josh Allen (last year’s MVP) is under center, the Bills will remain contenders. They’re firmly in that top-tier AFC pack alongside Baltimore and Kansas City.

The problem? Sean McDermott.

Time and time again, McDermott’s late-game strategy has cost Buffalo in high-stakes moments. In the 2023 Divisional Round, down three with over two minutes to go, the Bills took three straight deep shots instead of methodically driving the field. The drive ended with a missed field goal. The Chiefs ran out the clock and went on to win the Super Bowl.

In 2024, in a close game against the Texans, the Bills threw three straight incompletions from inside of their own 10-Yard-Line, in the final minute of the game—handing Houston the ball at midfield, leading to a game-winning field goal.

McDermott isn’t Belichick. He doesn’t have the ice-cold game management that led New England to 18-0 in 2007. That’s the X-factor here. Talent-wise? The Bills can run the table.

But perfect seasons aren’t built on talent alone.
