Bills roundtable: Prime time, what's the opener, most anticipated game and more
‘Vic: Five or more. The Bills undoubtedly are must-see TV in the eyes of the NFL and the networks, and the 17-game schedule makes my prediction even more realistic.

Which Bills games are most likely to be in prime-time?
‘This just screams Sunday Night Football. Josh Allen gets his shot at redemption as the Bills try and prove they can be the team to dethrone the Chiefs. Quite frankly, I think this would be a perfect way for the league to start the season on Sunday Night Football. But a game this big might make the most sense in the middle of the season so we can spend weeks talking about it. Of the games on the list, this is the biggest lock, at least in my opinion.’

It remains to be seen which local channel gets the broadcast rights to Amazon’s Thursday night package.’
