Buffalo Bills 

A quiet off-season for the Bills is not a bad sign for a roster that is full of talent. The one big move that the team did make is firing Rex Ryan and heading the team in a new direction. They brought back quarterback Tyrod Taylor on a new deal and have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball to be a playoff contending team if the play calling and coaching ability takes a step forward.

For the Falcons the biggest threat will be the Bills ability to run the ball from so many different positions. The Bills have Sammy Watkins as well who is capable of being an elite receiver if healthy.

The Bills seem to be adopting a new attitude that the Panthers have carried over the past few seasons on defense. A tough hard hitting unit that is looking to start fights and get in the offenses head. If that does translate onto the field this game could be one of the more under rated on the Falcons schedule.

The Bills have a tough slate in 2017 as well and facing them in Atlanta will be a lot easier than a trip to Buffalo would be.
