The Bills were predicted to regress after Buffalo traded Stefon Diggs, the Jets acquired a healthy Aaron Rodgers, and the Dolphins boasted a potent offense.

They have already secured their fifth-consecutive division title with more than a month remaining in the season.

The Bills' victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the snow secured the division title for Buffalo, and they are now striving for the top seed.

Well, with the division came a copy of the receipts.

The Dolphins or Jets would win the AFC East, according to experts, as the Bills' social media team mocked those who doubted them in the preseason with a montage of predictions.

A video of talking heads stating that the Bills would not succeed was also posted.

One of those in the video was Rich Eisen, who admitted defeat.

Eisen stated on his show Monday that he would raise his hand and admit his mistake. He explained that he had mistakenly assumed that Stefon Diggs was from Texas and that the back end of the defense lacked the big-name players that helped them win the Super Bowl with Josh Allen in his rookie contract and early years of his next contract.

"I thought the Buffalo Bills were going to win, but I was completely wrong. Not just a little bit off, but dead wrong. I mean, I was way off the mark."

The Jets have had the biggest nightmare season possible, while the Dolphins suffered from another Tua Tagovailia concussion that caused him to miss four games.

The Bills are one game behind the Kansas City Chiefs in the race for the one-seed, but they have the tiebreaker if they finish the season with the same record, thanks to their earlier win over the Bills.
