Buffalo Bills

The hardest AFC opponent that the New Orleans Saints are going to have to play next year is the Buffalo Bills. They got a taste of the best of the AFC last year in the Kansas City Chiefs; now, they are going to get a taste of the second-best in the Buffalo Bills.

The addition of Stefon Diggs to the arsenal of Josh Allen was a deadly combination. The two of them dominated the AFC last year on their way to the AFC Championship where they lost a hard-fought game to the Chiefs.

Josh Allen is only going to get better and so is Diggs. If they can add a decent running back in the draft or free agency, this team is going to rival Kansas City if they don’t already. The Bills have some linemen that they will need to bring back, but no one extensively major.

This game is going to be a showdown. Most of the outcome of this game is going to be dependent on if the Saints can score and if Marshon Lattimore can hold his own against Stefon Diggs. If those two things happen, then the Saints come away 5-0 against the AFC.
