Patriots - In his first game ever, EJ Manuel almost pulled off what would have been one the greatest opening day upsets in NFL history. The last game of 2013 is irrelevant. New England drafted a wide receiver in the 7th round, zero tight ends, and Tom Brady's replacement in the 2nd round. Bills split with the Pats, 1-1.
Dolphins - Thad Lewis beat the Fish twice last year, and the situation in Miami looks grim. Back to back sweeps, 2-0.
Jets - In week 3 of the 2013 NFL season, EJ Manuel's first road game as a pro was a humbling experience losing to the Jets, 20-27. 8 weeks later, the Bills dismantled the Jets in the team's best game of the year. It was Manuel's best game all season. The Jets pass defense ranked 22nd in 2013, so they drafted Calvin Pryor with their first pick, and Dexter McDougle in the third round. The Jets overall offense ranked 25th, and the Bills were 19th.(Seattle ranked 18th). Bills ranked 28th in passing offense, Jets finished 31st. Bills had the 2nd best running game, Jets ranked 6th. I'll take EJ Manuel over Geno Smith any day. Smith recently got his feathers ruffled after Calvin Pryor picked him off in practice, leading Geno Smith to say:
"A little bit, but I don't think he's really earned that right to talk amongst this locker room..."
