A divisional game ? I say we host Miami at home So I look at this pretty regularly because I am insane. Anyway the NFL very very rarely has a team go back to back with opening home or away. The Bills opened last year home against the Jets so I would assume we will be away to start. Here is the 10 years: 2017 Home vs Jets 2016 @ Baltimore 2015 Home vs Colts 2014 @ Chicago 2013 Home vs NE 2012 @ New York Jets 2011 @ Kansas City 2010 Home vs Miami 2009 @ New England 2008 Home vs Seattle Only once have we been back to back and that was 6 years ago and they really try to balance that as much as possible. Also the Bills have requested for years to front load the schedule in the months of September and October due to the bad weather we get later on so even if we open away you can bet they will have bunch right after home. With the NFL's ratings issue the days of Buffalo opening with or at New England frankly are not high given their TV draw and they probably get a night game against an AFC opponent like KC HOU or IND. Continuing the Bills played the Jets to open last year and typically within the first two weeks we play a divisional opponent. I actually think we open on the road at Miami myself but I could also see us at someone like Houston or even Indianapolis. The schedule typically drops the 3rd week of April but leaks usually happen pretty regularly leading up to that starting in March.

JMF2006 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I think opening weekend will be a road game. Followed by back to back home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for correction; I guess my guess would be Jaguars would be our home opener week 2. I'd love for us to open in Green Bay but guessing we will open in Indy or Baltimore.

Beast Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Opening on MNF in Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 My hope for the schedule is a couple prime time games (if Miami can get 3 in a row with Jay Cutler, we ought to get a couple after going to the playoffs), a late season road game in Lambeau, a non-divisional opener (I've always found those kind of annoying), a non-jets thursday night game, and a close out game against NE so it could (fingers crossed) decide the division. My pipe dream is a holiday game, but that wont happen. Just now, Binghamton Beast said: Opening on MNF in Green Bay. MNF in GB would be awesome! Would love to see it in December though. Besides, it's all but guaranteed that Oakland will have the first (one of them) Monday Night game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Bills @ Ravens. The team who got into the playoffs at the other team's expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing TNF game will be Bills & Lions. Wonder if Bills will play them in preseason with a game scheduled during year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domdab99 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I think they're going shake things up and go with a real surprise, and have us open at Atlanta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing personal, but I really hope you are guessing wrong. I did NOT enjoy the TBDHOT when it was on Thursday night, as much as on Sundays. It is much harder for out-of-towners to make it. No problem for me since it is only a 90 minute drive if I take my time. The farther away someone has to travel to the game, the more complicated night games make it for family, work, hotels, and tailgate parties. Plus night games give the ass clown fiery table divers more time to get primed.
