It is amazing the Bills had a chance at making the playoffs last year but they ended up with three straight losses to end the season.  The Bills had the 30th ranked offense and the 31st ranked defense in the league last year.  There special teams play is what kept them in games.  The Bills special teams unit is great at blocking points and returning kickoffs.  If they can approve on both sides of the ball this year they have a great chance of sneaking into the NFL playoffs as a wild card.

After the defense ranking at the bottom the past three years, the Bills took action in the off-season.  With the 11th overall pick in the draft they took Leodis McKelvin, a corner back out of Troy.  He was the top corner in the draft and will push for the starting job.  Buffalo allowed the most passing yards in team history last year, 238.4 per game.  If the Bills get tougher in the middle of the defensive line this year, then the ends should be more effective rushing the passer.

Predition- The Bills will play a game in Toronto against Miami, a game they should win.  They have a good shot this year of making the wildcard spot in the playoffs.  They are an improving team but they need to really improve on the 31st ranked run defense last season.  Buffalo plays only six game against teams with a winning record in 2007.  I'm going over the total wins for the season for Buffalo, as they also have a stretch of playing two games they should win easily in November against Kansas City and San Francisco.  The oddsmakers at Bodoglife.com currently have Buffalo Bills 7.5 -140 2008 Regular Season Wins.
