Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (17) is caught from behind by Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (95).
The Buffalo Bills looked to be one of the hottest teams in the NFL at the end of the season. However, their season was cut short earlier than many had expected.
Fast forward to today, and their offseason has been a challenging one as well as they have parted ways with key players on both sides of the ball.
Let’s take a look at the Bills’ schedule for the 2024 NFL season, where their strength of schedule (SOS) ranks, our record prediction, and preview the biggest Bills’ matchups of the season.
Buffalo Bills’ Schedule and Opponents
We don’t know the Bills’ exact schedule yet as that information has not been released, but we do know who their opponents will be for the 2024 season. We’ll have to wait for the official NFL schedule release to find out exactly when Buffalo will face the following teams.
Home: New York Jets, New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs
Road: New York Jets, New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions
Bills’ Strength of Schedule
The Bills are getting no favors this year as far as their schedule goes. According to PFN’s in-house metric, Buffalo faces the second-toughest schedule in the NFL, behind only their division-rival Patriots.
With a schedule stacked with quality opponents and a division that features two other playoff-caliber teams, even just getting out of the AFC East could be a challenge in and of itself.
Josh Allen will have his hands full this year and will do so with a roster that, on paper, is worse than the ones he’s fielded in recent memory — all while facing one of the toughest schedules in the league.
Bills Record Prediction: 10-7
The roster is decisively worse than last year, and the schedule is a daunting task, putting 2024 in danger of being a real letdown season for a Bills team that has been on the cusp of Super Bowl contention.
Despite the transgressions the team has and will continue to deal with, having Allen under center will help the Bills mask a lot of their shortcomings.
I still see the Bills still finding a way to get to double-digit wins, even if it is a grind, and contending for a playoff spot. With the Jets expected to be vastly improved and the Dolphins on the rise, getting out of their division will be no easy task.
However, with a well-respected head coach and Allen under center, the Bills should not be outright dismissed in 2024.
Biggest Matchups of the Year
Any time the Bills face the Chiefs, it’s must-see television. And they’ll have another meeting in the regular season in 2024. The Bills once again were eliminated by the Chiefs last season, which should give them even more motivation to beat Patrick Mahomes and Co.
