Predictions
Breakdown: The Buffalo Bills will open
their 2014 season on the road in Chicago
Kendall
Langford Rams Jersey , the third time in the last four seasons that
they'll open on the road. The Bills will open with three road games in their
first five contests and will play each of their division opponents once before
their bye week. After having the NFL's latest possible bye week last season, it
is favorably placed this season, coming in Week 9. The Bills' only prime-time
game comes in Week 11, a Thursday night contest on the road against the Miami
Dolphins. The Bills haven't played a "Monday Night Football" game since 2009 and
haven't played on Sunday night since 2007. Those two streaks will continue. If
the Bills want to make the playoffs, they'll have tough sledding late, ending
their schedule at the Denver Broncos, at home against the Green Bay Packers, at
the Oakland Raiders, and at the New England Patriots.
Complaint
department: The Bills often savor opportunities to play cold weather teams
late-season at Ralph Wilson Stadium. That won't happen this season. Three of
their final four games are the road, while their lone home contest in December
is against another northern team, the Packers. The Bills will also host two
other cold weather teams in November: the Cleveland Browns and the New York
Jets. It's worth noting, however, that the Bills hosted the Dolphins in late
December last season, a shutout win for Buffalo. It's fair that the NFL
scheduled the Dolphins' trip to Buffalo in September this time around. Still,
the Bills can't be too happy with their late season schedule, which includes
tilts against Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady as possible barriers
between the Bills and the playoffs -- if they're still in the hunt.
Bye,
bye Toronto: The Bills announced this last month, but for the first time since
2007 the Bills will not play in Toronto. The Bills will have eight home games,
making it even harder for the Bills to sell out their home slate. They struggled
to sell out last season
Kendall

twice to prevent a blackout, while their home finale against the Dolphins was
blacked out. This year, the Bills will almost surely sell out their first three
games: against the Dolphins, Chargers, and Patriots. They have four home games
after their bye week that may create a challenge for their ticket office, but if
the Packers come into Ralph Wilson Stadium on December 14 still in the playoff
hunt, it will help the Bills' chances that day.
