3. Buffalo Bills

Thanks to an impressive 4-1 start, the Buffalo Bills have proven to be the real deal as far as being a top contender in the AFC is concerned, and if key players can manage to stay healthy, this team should be able to punch their ticket to the playoffs down the road.

Even if it was disappointing to watch the Bills come up short a few weeks ago in their loss to the New England Patriots, just watching Buffalo being able to compete with the defending Super Bowl champions say a lot about this team.

With that being said, if all goes well for the Bills on Sunday, this game against the Miami Dolphins could very well be over by the time the fourth quarter even rolls around.

But with the Dolphins desperate for a win, and this being a rivalry game, the Bills need to take the approach of knowing this game is far from a guarantee for them to win.

Football fans can say whatever they want about Miami, but sometimes the teams with nothing to lose emerge out of nowhere with surprise performances to shock the NFL world.

The Dolphins may seem like a long shot at the moment to beat the Bills, but maybe Miami will find a way to pull off the unthinkable.
