Why The Buffalo Bills Won't Win The Super Bowl

According to data experts Five Thirty Eight, Going back to the 2001 season, only two preseason favorites have gone on to win hoist the Lombardi Trophy. The Indianapolis Colts in 2006 and the 2016 New England Patriots. The favorites may not win but they still do well.

Only four have missed the playoffs altogether and most of the favorite or co-favorites make it to the Big Game, they just seem to find a way to lose the final game of the year. That includes the David Tyree "helmet catch" to give the pre-season favorite Patriots their only loss of the season.
