“Bold” Prediction Has Buffalo Bills Winning Their First Super Bowl in 2026

Preseason predictions are beginning to come out, and this major publication has good news for Bills fans and bad news for everyone else.

The Bills have been to 4 Super Bowls all time. All 4 happened in a row. They lost all 4. It's something so astonishing, incredible, and heartbreaking that it will likely never happen again. At least, it won't if the Bills keep the Chiefs out of the this year’s big game since they have been to 3 straight entering this season. Good news, though, Bills fans! Sports Illustrated has them doing just that, and breaking the losing streak.

“Bold” Prediction Has Buffalo Bills Winning Their First Super Bowl in 2026

Sports Illustrated releases 100 bold predictions for the NFL before each season:

Their first prediction? The Bills will finally win the Super Bowl. Here's some of what they said regarding the Bills:

…the Bills have an amenable schedule that includes the Browns, Falcons, Panthers and Saints, as well as multiple cracks at the bottom rung of the AFC East. This slate will keep Josh Allen healthy and in berserker mode for the playoffs when Buffalo needs him most. - SI.com

What does it mean? Nothing. It means the Bills are well thought of entering the year, which makes sense. They have the reigning NFL MVP in Josh Allen, a potent offense, a retooled defense, a stellar coaching staff, and great depth. They will no doubt be the favorite to many pundits this season.

It's a far cry from last year, when the team traded Stefon Diggs and many people picked the Bills to miss the playoffs and lose the division to the Jets. Talk about an airball by them.

Of course… they could be wrong about their optimism for this year’s team, though that seems unlikely.

Here’s hoping the Bills finally bring. Lombardi Trophy to Western New York. There’s no fan base that deserves it more than Bills Mafia.
