This is how I see the importance of winning individual games. It is based on the thought that not all games are created equal. Some games I see as must wins like the Browns, the Bucs, and KC which the Bills need to win to have any chance, and obviously you can see the Division and Conference(tie-breakers) games rate high. I think if the Bills can hold serve at home in a number of winnable games, the season will be a success if they can get a few key road games.
I rate the opener so low for several reasons. First I think we will lose, second it is on the road, and third there are 15 games left to recover from an 0-1 start.
I know this is a silly exercise but what else do you have to do on a Friday night when you are married with two kids....
