‘Shocker!’ Colin Cowherd Reveals Prediction for Bills Next Season
To maximize the opportunity presented by quarterback Josh Allen’s talent, the Buffalo Bills must prioritize securing the easiest route to success, starting with winning their division and ideally securing home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. While hosting the Kansas City Chiefs in Buffalo didn’t pan out in 2023, in a closely contested rivalry, every advantage matters. However, the AFC East is poised to become more challenging with the New York Jets likely to improve with a healthy Aaron Rodgers, the Miami Dolphins boasting a dangerous combination of strategy and speed, and even the New England Patriots gearing up to be more competitive with potential upgrades at quarterback.
Despite the strengthening competition, some still favor the Bills to emerge victorious in the AFC East. Colin Cowherd recently predicted the playoff teams for the 2024 season, with Buffalo leading the division, alongside the Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, and Indianapolis Colts. Cowherd attributed his picks to the strength of the quarterbacks, noting Allen’s dominance in the division. While acknowledging Miami’s potential, Cowherd expressed concerns about their quarterback’s health and offensive line.
At the heart of the argument for Buffalo’s continued divisional success is the undeniable presence of Josh Allen, who is widely regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the league and a perennial MVP candidate. However, sustaining this level of success may prove challenging in the upcoming season, as the roster could face significant changes. With notable free agents likely to explore other opportunities, potential transformations in the defensive backfield, and further adjustments in the receiving corps, maintaining cohesion across most units may be difficult. Additionally, as Allen’s contract demands increase and the team’s budget becomes tighter, the general manager may need to prioritize cost-effective acquisitions, potentially leading to a roster that differs from the previous year’s.
