The Buffalo Bills’ 2018 schedule was released on Thursday, and most fans agree that the slate is pretty tough.

Five out of the team’s first seven games will be played on the road. They’ll face the talented Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers in Weeks 1 and 2 before facing off against the playoff-caliber Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers in Weeks 3 and 4. On top of the two annual games against the New England Patriots, the Bills will also play against the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars in 2018 – two teams that made the playoffs in 2017. That’s five total games against teams that appeared in the playoffs last season.

This tough schedule doesn’t bode well for a Buffalo team that arguably got worse in the offseason. While the team improved its defensive line, the Bills also moved on from starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor and former starting offensive tackle Cordy Glenn. They also lost a few solid starters in linebacker Preston Brown, cornerback E.J. Gaines, and wide receiver Deonte Thompson.

Buffalo is in the early stages of a rebuild, and if ESPN fantasy football pundit Mike Clay is to be believed, the team could struggle mightily in the 2018 season. In his “bolder” 2018 season projections, Clay has the Bills finishing in the basement of the entire league with a record of 2-14.

Clay doesn’t expect the AFC East to be all that strong in 2018. In fact, he expects it to be the weakest division in the league. He has the New York Jets, who finished fourth in the division in 2017, finishing second in the AFC East with a record of 4-12.

The pundit feels as though the Bills will tie with the Miami Dolphins for the worst record in the NFL. However, he seemingly has Miami holding a tiebreaker over Buffalo, as he’s projected the Dolphins to finish ahead of the Bills in the standings.

A 2-14, last-place-in-the-entire-league season would truly be a disaster for Buffalo. However, a 2-14 season does seem like a bit of a stretch. While the Bills do have a few holes on their roster, they also have a fair bit of talent. After their moves in free agency, Buffalo has a stout defensive line. They also have an elite secondary. LeSean McCoy is still one of the best running backs in the league, and the team may have a rookie quarterback under center next season. This squad should be able to win more than two games in 2018.

However, if Clay’s prediction does hold true, then the Bills will have the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. What better way to further a rebuild than with a top draft pick?
