The Buffalo Bandits are a lacrosse team based in Buffalo, New York playing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2007 season was the franchise's 16th season, and was almost a repeat of their 2006 season. After winning the East with an 11–5 record in 2006, the Bandits finished 2nd with a 10–6 record in 2007. Once again, they dispatched Minnesota in the division semi-finals, 14–8, and once again met Rochester in the division finals. This time, however, Rochester would take the division on their way to the Championship, beating the Bandits 14–13, in overtime.
