Buffalo Bills 2011 Super Bowl Predictions: The Buffalo Bills have a very tough task ahead of them in 2010. They will surely be at the bottom of arguably one of the most competitive divisions in all of football. The Bills went 6-10 with a 2-4 division record and the future does not look any brighter. The Bills' main concern is a competent quarterback and a way to protect him. If the defense can adjust to the new 3-4 scheme, then this team could make some considerable improvements fom last year.

The Buffalo Bills' 2011 Super Bowl Odds are at a whopping +10,000.

NFL Predictions Offense: Buffalo will stage a competition for the starting job among Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brian Brohm. That trio combined to complete 58 percent of its passes with 19 interceptions and 46 sacks. Given Chan Gailey’s history with developing quarterbacks, there is hope that Edwards, a third-round pick in 2007 with 30 career starts, can resurrect his career. Fred Jackson topped 1,000 yards rushing and led the NFL in all-purpose yardage with 2,516. With rookie first-round pick C.J. “Thriller’’ Spiller in the mix, Jackson isn’t likely to get the same number of touches but will remain Buffalo’s workhorse. Spiller, one of the most productive players in NCAA history, provides a change-of-pace weapon and should give Buffalo’s 30th-ranked offense a boost. With the team parting ways with Terrell Owens and Josh Reed, the pressure returns to Lee Evans to produce as the undisputed No. 1 target. His 340 receptions, 5,356 yards and 39 touchdowns in six seasons rank among the top four in each category in club history, a testament to his work ethic and talent given he has not enjoyed any stability at quarterback or in coordinators. The Buffalo Bills' 2010 AFC East Odds to win the division are at +2000.

NFL Predictions Defense: The Bills had to shffle personnel as they change to a 3-4 scheme, so gone are the small, quick two-gap tackles in favor of space-eaters such as second-round pick Torell Troup, who will play in a rotation with Kyle Williams at the nose. John McCargo, a 2006 first-round pick who has just one career start, is at a crossroads but might find new life in a three-man front. Rising star Paul Posluszny, who has topped 100 tackles each of the past two years, will anchor one of the inside positions alongside either Kawika Mitchell or newcomer Andra Davis. The bigger concern involves who will excel at outside linebacker and give Buffalo a consistent pass rush off the edge as well as solid play in coverage. With Jairus Byrd, a Pro Bowl rookie free safety last season, at the forefront, this is clearly Buffalo’s defensive strength. Byrd, who tied for the NFL lead with nine interceptions in 14 games, led a Bills defense that intercepted 28 passes overall, second most in the league. At corner, 2008 first-round pick Leodis McKelvin is back after missing 13 games with a broken leg. He’ll team with Terrence McGee, who is recovering from shoulder surgery. The Buffalo Bills' 2010 Win Total is at 5.5 with the under at -150.

Head Coach\Special Teams: This is Gailey’s second NFL head coaching stint, having led Dallas to an 18–14 record and two playoff berths in 1998-99. Firing Gailey is among owner Jerry Jones’ biggest regrets. Wilson is hoping that hiring Gailey won’t be one of his. After being part of 11 playoff teams and coaching in four Super Bowls, Gailey brings a strong resume to Buffalo. Kicker Rian Lindell and punter Brian Moorman annually rank among the NFL’s best. Lindell owns the league’s best field goal percentage inside 40 yards (98.6 percent) since 2006, and Moorman’s 46.6-yard average last season broke his own team record. Jackson did a strong job returning kicks after McKelvin, who set a team record with nearly 1,500 yards in 2008, was injured.
