Buffalo Bills in ESPN FPI during the 2024 NFL offseason

There are many ways to rank NFL teams head to head outside of the traditional way of comparing records. One of the most popular ways in recent years comes to us via ESPN.

ESPN uses its FPI (Football Power Index) to do this. As the outlet describes it, here’s what the REIT is:

The Football Power Index (FPI) is a measure of a team’s strength that is intended to be the best indicator of a team’s performance for the remainder of the season. FPI represents the number of points above or below a team’s average. Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the remainder of the season using FPI, results to date and the remaining schedule. Ratings and projections are updated daily.

ESPN recently released its first FPI rankings of the 2024 offseason…and now what you came for, here are every NFL team listed in ESPN’s current FPI, including the Buffalo Bills:
