estro613 Posted May 8 Posted May 8 I predict Ravens for the home opener. No reasons given, just a hunch Quote

Maybe Dolphins. They'll open up against a division foe if smart; especially if it's a nothing game like the Fine or Jets. 1 1 Quote
Taro Nimbus Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Most likely will open up against a division rival. Wouldn’t surprise me to see them open up against the dolphins or Jets. 1 Quote
HappyDays Posted May 9 Posted May 9 My guess is week 1 on the road, a nice layup game against the Raiders. The NFL saves our inevitable SNF home opener against the Pats for week 2. 3 Quote
Talley56 Posted May 9 Posted May 9 I'm thinking Week 1 the Bills will have a road game and week 2 they will be playing the Thursday night game at home against a division rival. 2 1 Quote

The NFL saves our inevitable SNF home opener against the Pats for week 2. Yeah, I can see this. I feel like the first home game is against the Pats in primetime for sure. Just depends on if it is week 1 or week 2. My initial prediction was Pats week 1 at home and Bills @ Las Vegas week 2. 1 Quote
T.E. Posted May 9 Posted May 9 That home Bears game will be a fun watch across the board for all fans. That's my pick for the Week 1 primetime game. Quote

The NFL saves our inevitable SNF home opener against the Pats for week 2. I think the NFL may give an extra week to open the stadium for this reason, even with preseason. The bills should want that, too. A plumbing issue or something silly could be fixed with an extra week a lot easier than not. I also don't think they'll waste an early season game where they can put a lousy team out there for our stadium debut. Quote
Just Jack Posted May 9 Author Posted May 9 Hotels are already raising prices for the possible 1st week home game. Even the Econo Lodge near Milestrip is over $200/night. Quote
agilen Posted May 9 Posted May 9 It’s a new stadium home opener - they are going to maximize the audience. No way it’s a division game, Pats are the only draw and there is too much uncertainty with the Vrabel thing. its Bears SNF week 1, or maybe the Lions. Lower odds for Ravens or Chargers but both are possible. Quote
Buffalo03 Posted May 9 Posted May 9 I just feel like week 1 or 2 home SNF vs Patriots just makes way too much sense. 2 teams that will most likely be battling it out for 1st place in the division again. The Bills opening in a new stadium. The Patriots coming off a Super Bowl appearance. It just screams opening home SNF game 2 Quote
PonyBoy Posted May 9 Posted May 9 Let it be the Jets like it was for the 1st one back in September 1973. Rolling the old highlights would be cool. Maybe have Namath & Mrs Wilson do the coin flip . Have the Jets in their throwback jerseys too. 1 Quote
eball Posted May 9 Posted May 9 I’m not kidding, I look forward to the schedule release more than the draft. I travel to games and it always feels like it takes forever to finally be able to make plans. Really hoping the home opener is week two. 3 1 Quote

I get so much more excited for finally being able to visualize the season than I do for watching names picked where we won't know if it was the right move for a year or so... Quote
SoCal Deek Posted May 9 Posted May 9 This is one of the best schedules the Bills have had in recent memory for both home and road opponents. Some great destinations for road games. (Vegas, Mile High, SoFi, Lambeau, Minneapolis….only the extra road game against Houston is a bit of a retread) And ….some classic matchups for home opponents. Go Bills! Quote

LOL Hotels will jack up prices as soon as the schedule comes out. 😬 Quote
