That was the week 13 game I referenced.  The week 15 game was 49ers at Seahawks.    Bills played the opening Thursday game week 1 against the Rams, Thanksgiving day against the Lions and week 13 Thursday night against the Patriots.

Ranking posibilities ...


1. Bengals -- Rematch the last two AFC Championships
2. Eagles   -- Rematch SB
3. Bills      -- What the NFL wants.
4. Jags      -- Rematch Divisional
5. Miami    -- Tyreek Hill
6. Raiders
7. Broncos
8. Lions
9. Bears

I think it will be the Bengals as the Bills were last year's Kickoff visitors.
I think they will save the Eagles for a Sunday Night game. I don't think they ever had a rematch of the SB for the Kickoff.
I think KC is tagged for an overseas home game and the NFL will never choose any of the first three games on the list for an overseas game.

What say you? Ce que vous dites? ¿Lo que usted dice?

My guess might be a little off the radar.  I will say the Miami Dolphins.  Team on the rise, injuries killed them....lots of storylines.  I could also see a game against the Ravens....depending on their QB situation.

Thought that, but they were so sorry last year...

Also, I kind of expect to play the Jags in London as both teams seem to have a good following there and it plays up the young gunslingers Burrow vs Lawrence.

That would be nice if that was the case, too bad cause George here is correct.

Yep, still was a good thought. Still thinking we are the most likely to kick off the season against KC.

We haven't ever kicked off the season pretty damn sure.
