The football world is still waiting for Odell Beckham Jr. to decide which team he will play on for the remainder of this season.
He has been rehabbing from an ACL injury he suffered in last season’s Super Bowl, and as he feels better and better, there has been more chatter about which team will win his services.
Beckham clearly would like to play for a contender, and one team that seems to seriously be in the running for him is the Buffalo Bills.
Odell Beckham Jr. would like to whittle down his current list of potential teams — which includes the Cowboys, Bills, Chiefs, Giants and 49ers — as soon as possible and have a decision by the end of this month:https://t.co/7rnBppYkTI

After being considered the favorites by many to win it all coming into this season, Josh Allen and crew have cooled off.
They lost in Week 9 to the New York Jets, 20-17, and on Sunday they fell to the Minnesota Vikings in overtime.
The Bills are second in passing yards and touchdowns and first in total yards, but it wouldn’t exactly hurt if they had one more threat, such as Beckham.
Would he put them over the top and make them the odds-on favorite to reach the Super Bowl?
There May Be No Such Thing As An Odds-On Favorite In The AFC
Overall, many have to love the Bills’ chances of winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy, as they have great balance on both sides of the ball, arguably the best quarterback in the game in Josh Allen and a prolific wide receiver in Stefon Diggs.
But their back-to-back losses have brought up some doubt in terms of their ability to win close games against other talented opponents.
In addition, there is the team that knocked them out of last season’s playoffs – the Kansas City Chiefs, who still have Patrick Mahomes, as well as the best record in the conference at 7-2.
Mahomes is an absolute magician, and he strikes fear in opponents and their fans, especially in third-down and red-zone situations.
Most likely, the AFC title will come down to the Bills and Chiefs, and neither team may have a real advantage, even if the Bills got a healthy and productive Beckham.
