There’s always at least one outrageous claim that sparks a firestorm every NFL offseason. This time, it came from an unexpected voice — and it involves a team that’s still trying to shake off a string of near-misses and playoff heartbreaks.
It all unfolded during a recent episode of “First Things First” on FS1, as the hosts sifted through early reactions to the 2025 NFL schedule. The Buffalo Bills, entering a pivotal, potentially Super Bowl-or-bust season, were at the center of a heated conversation.
Then, Kevin Wildes decided to go all in.

Kevin Wildes Sends Shockwaves With ‘Undefeated Watch’ Bills Call
Wildes, known for his scorching hot takes, was scouting the NFL schedule when he paused and put all his chips on the table. He wasn’t messing around.
“I have an announcement to make,” Wildes said as he threw his note cards up in the air. Then came the bold declaration: “The Bills are on undefeated watch.”
It was enough to make Chris Broussard do a double take, assuming at first that Wildes was going to say that Buffalo might miss the playoffs entirely.
But Wildes flipped the narrative: “All of the hard teams we have on our schedule, we get to play at home,” he said, suggesting that home-field advantage could be enough to tilt the scales in Buffalo’s favor. With softer matchups on the road, he hinted at a rare combination of scheduling luck and team potential.
The reaction in the studio was immediate. Broussard couldn’t hide his disbelief and said he would’ve been less shocked if Wildes had predicted a Super Bowl win instead.
“There is no chance,” Broussard said, shaking his head.
Tough Opponents Could Block Bills’ Path to Perfection
Nick Wright chimed in with his reservations, noting that the Bills aren’t exactly unbeatable at home and that even with their toughest opponents — including the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, and Philadelphia Eagles — coming to Orchard Park, N.Y., that didn’t make them automatic wins.
He pointed out that teams like the Chiefs would rather have their toughest games on the road to minimize the emotional damage of losing at home.
But Wildes stood by his logic and pointed to the positioning of key matchups against the Ravens, Bengals, Chiefs, and Eagles — and they get them all “at home.”
Meanwhile, Broussard brought up Buffalo’s past struggles against division rivals, especially the New York Jets. It wasn’t long ago, as he reminded the panel, that the Bills were stunned by the Jets — proof that upsets are always on the table, even when the talent gap seems obvious.
Even as the banter grew louder, Wildes remained committed to the narrative — not as a prediction but as a possibility. “For the record, I do not think they’re going undefeated,” he clarified. “But they’re on ‘undefeated watch,’ however.”
It might be a stretch. Buffalo hasn’t exactly been the model of consistency late in seasons. But with a high-stakes schedule and all eyes on Josh Allen to deliver, one thing is clear — Wildes may have just added a new layer of pressure in western New York.
Author makes the dubious claim that “ Buffalo hasn’t exactly been the model of consistency late in seasons”. Have they never watched a Bills game? Since 2020, the Bills have had win streaks of 6, 4, 7, 5 to close out the season. Last season is the first to not finish on a win streak when Allen sat the last game but they won 3 straight going into it and 10 out of 11 before that!!
