Buffalo Bills Set for Strong Start to 2025 NFL Season
The Buffalo Bills, led by quarterback Josh Allen and head coach Sean McDermott, are shaping up to be a serious Super Bowl contender in the 2025 season. After comfortably winning the AFC East last year, Buffalo appears well-positioned to repeat that success—and perhaps go even further this time around.
The Bills open their season with a tough home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, a game that will serve as an early test of their championship potential. However, after Week 1, the schedule becomes significantly more manageable. According to CBS Sports, Buffalo then plays six consecutive games against teams that missed the playoffs last year, including the Jets, Dolphins, Saints, Patriots, Falcons, and Panthers. The Bills are likely to be heavily favored in each of those matchups.
This favorable early-season schedule gives the team an opportunity to build momentum and potentially enter their Week 9 clash with the Kansas City Chiefs with a strong record. Adding to their advantage, four of their most challenging games—including matchups against the Chiefs, Ravens, Bengals, and Eagles—will be played at home, where Buffalo went undefeated last season.
A strong start is critical, and the Bills know it. Winning early helps reduce the pressure later in the season, especially when playoff positioning is on the line. Playing key opponents at Highmark Stadium, where the Bills are particularly tough to beat, could be a crucial edge as they aim for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
If Buffalo can get past the Ravens in Week 1, they’ll be in a prime spot to dominate the first half of the season. That early success could allow them to create distance from their AFC East rivals and strengthen their claim as a top Super Bowl contender. With talent, experience, and a favorable schedule, the Bills are set up for a promising 2025 campaign.
