10. Buffalo Bills (11)

Previously losing to the Cleveland Browns the way they did was a tough blow for the Buffalo Bills at the time since the team isn’t in position to lose many more games if they want to earn one of the playoff spots in the AFC.

Despite having a favorable matchup scheduled for Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, this seemed like the ultimate trap game for the Bills, especially after seeing how things played out back in October during the first meeting.

Things turned out to be closer than expected in the first half, but Buffalo eventually running away with the 37-20 win shows this team deserves to be in the conversation of playoff contender in the AFC.

The Bills have plenty of competition standing in their way over the next month or so, but if Josh Allen can find a way to be consistent on offense, and play like he did against the Dolphins with four touchdowns (one rushing), Buffalo could be difficult to defeat.

Defense has been the key to the success of the Bills for the most part, but Allen is in great position to help the offense be a huge difference maker after all those years spent searching for a reliable quarterback.
