After a successful first half of the 2024 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills head into the second half with a 9-2 record. With six more crucial games on the horizon, fans and analysts alike are eager to predict how the team will perform as they aim for the playoffs. Here’s a closer look at the remaining schedule and the win-loss predictions for the Bills after their Week 12 bye.
Week 13: vs. San Francisco 49ers (Sunday Night Football)
– Prediction: Win
– Record: 10-2
The 49ers, though talented, are currently a team in need of a confidence boost. Despite their struggles, the Bills have shown resilience after their bye weeks under head coach Sean McDermott. Historically, Buffalo has been dominant coming out of the bye, and with their strong roster, they are well-positioned to beat San Francisco in front of a national audience. Expect the Bills to stay undefeated after their break.
Week 14: at Los Angeles Rams (4:25 p.m.)
– Prediction: Win
– Record: 11-2
Much like the 49ers, the Los Angeles Rams have been a bit unpredictable this season. While playing in L.A. always presents a challenge, the Bills have already proven they can handle teams on the road, such as their solid performance against the Seattle Seahawks earlier in the season. With the Bills’ offense firing on all cylinders and their defense showing stability, they should be able to secure a win in this matchup.
Week 15: at Detroit Lions (4:25 p.m.)
– Prediction: Loss
– Record: 11-3
The Detroit Lions have been one of the most impressive teams of the season. They’ve been consistently competitive, especially at home. Despite the Bills’ strong performance throughout the year, the Lions’ offense, led by Jared Goff, will present a tough challenge. This game has the potential to be a high-scoring affair, and while the Bills will fight hard, they might fall short in this tough road contest.
Week 16: vs. New England Patriots (1:00 p.m.)
– Prediction: Win
– Record: 12-3
The New England Patriots have been struggling in 2024, and there’s little to suggest they can compete with the Bills in this matchup. Buffalo has consistently dominated the Patriots in recent years, and with the added motivation of securing a strong playoff spot, the Bills are expected to cruise to a victory. This should be a relatively straightforward win for Buffalo as they take on a Patriots team that’s rebuilding.
Final Record Prediction: 12-3
After their Week 12 bye, the Buffalo Bills are expected to finish strong, with a 12-3 record by the end of the regular season. The team’s mix of a potent offense and solid defense will carry them through most of their remaining games, with a slight hiccup against the Detroit Lions. As they head into the final stretch, the Bills will be well-positioned for a deep playoff run.
