Bills No. 22
The Dallas Morning News printed offseason NFL rankings today and lists Buffalo at No. 22 out of 32 teams. New England is No. 1, followed by the Giants, Eagles, Super Bowl champion Steelers and Chargers. Miami is No. 15 and the Jets are No. 23. Even though the Bills play a tougher schedule than last year, they have nine games against teams ranked 14th or lower and five against top-10 teams. The Bills' two "standing-dictated" games are against Kansas City and Cleveland, who like the Bills were last-place finishers last season. Miami's two standing-dictated games are against Pittsburgh and San Diego. New England's two "other" games are vs. Baltimore and Denver. The Jets' two are against Oakland and Cincinnati. So that's a clear advantage for New England, Buffalo and the Jets over the Dolphins -- probably.
