The Buffalo Bills have emerged as the only NFL team favored in every game for the upcoming 2025 season, according to point spreads released by ESPN BET. This unprecedented situation highlights the Bills’ strong position within the league and their potential for success this season. In fact, they enter Week 4 with a robust 12.5 point home field advantage against the New Orleans Saints. That’s a new biggest opening line on the board for the season!
As the season starts to play out, the Bills continue to enjoy a clear edge, with analysts across the board impressed by their skillset on the field. “The Bills are tied at the top of our power ratings (with the Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles) and have the highest win total on the board,” said Joey Feazel. This endorsement is an indication of how much confidence there is in this team’s abilities going into this season.
This year, the Ravens and Chiefs are both favorites — and by large margins at that. They past haven’t had a Bills-like run of favoritism. For each of the last six seasons, one of those teams has been an underdog in every game. This context only serves to underscore how remarkable the Bills’ position really is.
A number of squads have a tough hill to climb. The New York Football Giants, apparently, are only expected to win one game this season. In Week 5, they take on the Saints at home with a slight favorite of -1.5. We think that the Cleveland Browns will be favored when they visit the Titans in Week 14. They’re still predicted to be ahead by 1.5 points. Our friends at the New Orleans Saints have a terrible situation this season. They’ve only been favored once since then, in Week 16 when they hosted the Jets as -1.5-point favorites.
Given last year’s New England Patriots were historically underdogs in all their regular season games. This year, they are favored in 11 of those 17 games. Their over/under win total is at 8.5. The change from underdog to favorite underscores just how much their fortunes have changed heading into 2025.
Since 1978, 23 teams have been favored in each game of a regular season. By comparison, only 28 teams have ever had the miserable distinction of being the underdog in all 16 games of their season. The Bills’ current trajectory puts them in rare company, reminiscent of their previous seasons where they held the distinction of being favored in all matchups.
Josh Allen, a former Wolfpack star, is again leading the charge for the Bills. They hope to build on their preseason sweetheart status and sail through a tough season, speeding toward glory.
