Can Von Miller Bring Bills to the Super Bowl in 2022?

The Buffalo Bills made a huge move this offseason, signing former Super Bowl MVP Von Miller to a six-year, $120 million deal to lead their pass rush in the 2022 season and beyond.

Miller has been a part of two Super Bowl-winning teams in his career, most recently with the Los Angeles Rams last season. He's not only a fantastic veteran leader, but still an extremely productive pass rusher that could help take the Bills to the next level.

Buffalo lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2021 divisional round of the playoffs, as their defense was unable to stop the Chiefs from forcing overtime with less than 10 seconds left. It was a brutal way to go down, and the team made a concerted effort to improve on defense this offseason.

Miller, who chose a new challenge in Buffalo rather than staying in Los Angeles, thinks he can take this team over the top.

“This is a special team, they’re right on the edge and I just wanted to be that last drop to overflow these guys,” Miller said.

Miller's thoughts about the Bills aren't far-fetched, as oddsmakers at WynnBET Sportsbook have Buffalo (+700) as the favorite in the AFC to win the Super Bowl. Only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+600) have better odds to hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the 2022 season.

The AFC is loaded in 2022, as the AFC West division has four teams that could make the playoffs, and the AFC North should be much better with the Baltimore Ravens expected to bounce back. The implied probability to win the AFC North shows that three teams have a legit chance at winning the division.

The Bills are expected to run away with the AFC East based on the latest odds, but will need to set themselves up for a favorable draw in the playoffs. Last season, Buffalo lost a few head-scratching games, including one to the Jacksonville Jaguars, that caused the team to slip in the AFC standings.

With Miller on the roster, the team has a proven player who knows what it takes to win a Super Bowl. Miller should help get the team on track to make sure they don't squander any opportunities in the 2022 season.
