Buffalo Bills
Hope level: Semi-realistic. Given their long list of injuries, especially on defense, it's remarkable that the Bills even find themselves in a position to compete for the playoffs. They did an amazing job of stuffing the run in their Week 13 win at Washington, forcing Jason Campbell into mistakes as he tried to carry the Redskins' offensive load.

Rookie Trent Edwards gives them a more efficient and reliable quarterback than J.P. Losman, although he needs to do a much a better job of getting them into the end zone. The Bills should be getting back their best offensive weapon, rookie running back Marshawn Lynch, from an ankle injury. Fred Jackson gives them another explosive presence in their backfield. They should have no trouble handling the pathetic Miami Dolphins in Week 14. After that, they travel to Cleveland, where they are unlikely to get away with winning with mostly field goals and safeties as they have in their last two victories.
