When the Buffalo Bills<\/a> announced Joe Brady as their new head coach, one thing immediately came to mind for Joe.<\/p>\n

And that was he’s going to be under pressure to perform from Day 1.<\/p>\n

With the Bills being a perennial playoff team and Super Bowl contender under Sean McDermott, that is the pass mark for Brady.<\/p>\n

But will a first-time head coach, even with Josh Allen in his prime, be able to do it?<\/p>\n

Well, CBS Sports<\/a> has released the 2026 win projection totals, with DraftKings’ help, and Buffalo’s total is 10.5 wins.<\/p>\n

Oh, and based on the other projections, the Bills appear favorites for the AFC East as well.<\/p>\n

Granted, free agency and the draft haven’t happened yet, and depending on what transpires, that number could move.<\/p>\n

But it appears the big reason for Buffalo’s total is Allen.<\/p>\n

As long as he’s healthy, the Bills will be in the thick of Super Bowl contention. But as we know, they don’t just want to contend. They want to win it all.<\/p>\n
