2025 NFL offseason: Game-by-game predictions for the Bills
The start of the upcoming season is a ways away, but the league is starting to look toward that time with minicamp in the rear-view mirror.
Let's have a prediction now.
Here is Bills Wire's post-minicamp game-by-game predictions for the 2025 season:
Week 1: vs. Baltimore Ravens (SNF)
The Ravens are a good team and it feels like they could be due for a win against the Bills in an early AFC clash.
Prediction: Loss (0-1).
Week 2: at New York Jets
It's a new regime leading the Jets and this game will be early days for them.
Prediction: Win (1-1).
Week 3: vs. Miami Dolphins (TNF)
After a season-opening loss, the Bills will be motivated against the Dolphins--who are a team quarterback Josh Allen thrives against.
Prediction: Win (2-1).
Week 4: vs. New Orleans Saints
The Saints have so many question marks... these are games the Bills should win.
Prediction: Win (3-1).
Week 5: vs. New England Patriots (SNF)
While the Patriots are looking for a positive season, it still looks like the Bills are much better on paper and should take this one... and there will be motivation as Stefon Diggs returns to Buffalo.
Prediction: Win (4-1).
Week 6: at Atlanta Falcons (MNF)
Heading into the bye is motivation for the Bills and the Falcons are a young team.
Prediction: Win: (5-1).
Week 7: Bye
Record: (5-1).
Week 8: at Carolina Panthers
It's hard to bet against Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott after the bye. He's 8-0 in such games.
Prediction: Win (6-1).
Week 9: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
It should be another classic between these two...
Prediction: Win (7-1).
Week 10: at Miami Dolphins
While the Bills do dominate the AFC East, it's hard to sweep a division every season... and the Dolphins have to eventually be due against the Bills, right?
Prediction: Loss (7-2).
Week 11: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
A loss in Week 10 will be bad news for the Bucs.
Prediction: Win (8-2).
Week 12: at Houston Texans (TNF)
While there is no more Diggs in Houston, the Bills will remember how poorly they played there in 2024.
Prediction: Win: (9-2).
Week 13: at Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers do play the Bills well on occasion (or get blown out), but there are too many question marks for them currently.
Prediction: (10-2).
Week 14: vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals are hoping for a massive bounce-back season and this would be a huge game for them... assuming they will improve.
Prediction: Loss (10-3).
Week 15: at New England Patriots
As the postseason approaches, the Bills will still be too much for the Pats.
Prediction: Win (11-3).
Week 16: at Cleveland Browns
The Browns are just all over the place.
Prediction: Win (12-3).
Week 17: vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Super Bowl preview? A fun one could unfold here.
Prediction: Win (13-3).
Week 18: vs. New York Jets
There could be something on the line here... or maybe not. Either way, there's no way the final game at the current Highmark Stadium should be a loss.
Prediction: Win (14-3).

30 Most Important Bears of 2025: Joe Thuney (No. 3)
The Chicago Bears are gearing up for an exciting 2025 NFL season, which features some new faces within the organization poised to get the franchise back to its winning ways. That starts with the hiring of Ben Johnson as head coach, as well as overhauling the interior offensive line, adding pieces on defense and a potenital impactful rookie draft class. Every day from now right up through training camp, we're counting down our 30 Most Important Bears for the 2025 season. We'll recap their 2024 season, look ahead to 2025 and tackle the biggest question facing them this year. Next up at No. 3 is left guard Joe Thuney, who will be a key role in shoring up Chicago's offensive line and protecting quarterback Caleb Williams. Background Position: Left guard Age: 32 Experience: 10th season 2025 cap hit: $8 million 2024 recap Thuney has established himself as one of the best guards in the NFL, and he showcased why last season with the Kansas City Chiefs. Last season, Thuney started all 17 games for the Chiefs. While he played primarily at left guard, he kicked over to left tackle for three contests as Kansas City dealt with injuries along the offensive line. Thuney once again served as key protection for quarterback Patrick Mahomes as the Chiefs once again made a Super Bowl appearance. Thuney was named to the Pro Bowl and earned a First-Team All-Pro nod for his 2024 outing. 2025 outlook The Bears focused on overhauling the offensive line this offseason, including the additions of guard Jonah Jackson (via trade) and center Drew Dalman (in free agency). But their biggest addition was Thuney, who was acquired in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick. Shortly after, Chicago signed him to a two-year, $35 million deal to keep him through 2027. Thuney has the potential to have the biggest impact given his resume and proven production. He's coming off an All-Pro season where he even kicked out to left tackle, but he thrived at left guard protecting Patrick Mahomes. Now, Thuney brings that experience, production and leadership to a revamped Chicago offensive line that will be crucial to quarterback Caleb Williams' success. And if rookie Ozzy Trapilo wins the starting left tackle job, Thuney will be even more crucial for Trapilo as he acclimates to the pro game. The Bears will only go as far as Williams takes them. And Williams will only go as far as his offensive line allows. Thuney will play an integral role in the offensive line's success. Big question: Can Thuney continue to be a top NFL guard in Chicago? The Bears invested a lot in Thuney -- a fourth round pick in 2026 and $33.5 million guaranteed -- so they're banking on him to serve an integral role along the offensive line. Thuney is a two-time First-Team All-Pro, three-time Pro Bowler and four-time Super Bowl winner and one of the best guards in the entire NFL. Thuney's an elite pass blocker and has been the best pass-blocking guard, per Pro Football Focus, since 2021 with a 90.2 grade. But the question remains whether Thuney will continue that level of play outside of a winning organization like Kansas City. Chicago overhauled the entire interior offensive line, and Thuney will serve as an anchor in the trenches when it comes to protecting quarterback Caleb Williams. 30 Most Important Bears of 2025

Terry Bradshaw, Aaron Rodgers Do Not Agree Politically
Terry Bradshaw, Aaron Rodgers Do Not Agree Politically originally appeared on The Spun. Terry Bradshaw and Aaron Rodgers have some drama brewing heading into the 2025 season. Bradshaw, a four-time Super Bowl champion, made it clear that he wasn't a big fan of Rodgers, who signed with his Pittsburgh Steelers. Bradshaw said earlier this year that he wished Rodgers would just stay in California and "chew" on some bark. "That's a joke. That to me is just a joke," Bradshaw said of Pittsburgh's interest in Rodgers on 103.7 The Buzz back in May. "What are you gonna do? Bring him in for one year, are you kidding me? "That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there." Rodgers, meanwhile, responded to Bradshaw at training camp over the weekend. His response was pretty classy. "I've known Terry for a long time, being a part of FOX," Rodgers said, speaking to NFL Network's Kyle Brandt. "Terry's a legend. He's an absolute legend. He won four Super Bowls. He's had a legendary career in the media. "But Terry, like a lot of people, doesn't know me. So he's got an idea of what he thinks about me based on what I've done, the documentary, what I've said, darkness retreat, whatever the hell you want to talk about." While Rodgers and Bradshaw might have a lot in common on the football field, they've said pretty different things politically over the years. Bradshaw announced that he left the Republican Party, choosing to be an independent. He criticized President Trump, too. 'I've been a Republican, but now I'm a registered independent. I don't want to alienate anyone, and the minute you say, 'I'm a Democrat' or 'I'm Republican,' you're kicking off the other side. I want the best person [in the White House], and I'll pick the one who's most like the way I feel,' he announced. Bradshaw took issue with how President Trump criticized NFL players for kneeling for the anthem. "This is America. If our country stands for anything, folks, it's freedom. People died for that freedom. I'm not sure if our President understands those rights—that every American has the right to speak out and to protest. Believe me, these athletes do love this great country of ours," Bradshaw stated. He added: "Personally, I think our President should concentrate on North Korea and healthcare rather than ripping into athletes and the NFL." Rodgers, meanwhile, has shown his support for President Trump over the years, even posting a photo of himself shaking hands with POTUS on social media. He said it was "priceless." Rodgers has said that he would like to get to know Bradshaw, so hopefully that'll happen before the 2025 NFL season. But the duo might have some disagreements in the world of politics.
