Biggest Games on the Bills' 2024 Schedule

• Bills vs. Jets: Josh Allen vs. Aaron Rodgers but make it more than four plays. The NFL is running this one back in Week 6 with a Monday Night Football showdown. What else do we need to say? The Jets made some savvy moves this offseason, rebuilding the offensive line for their veteran QB. These two games should be electric.
• Bills vs. Dolphins: The Dolphins could arguably be the biggest threat to the Bills' AFC East title aspirations as Mike McDaniel's offense is still a highly efficient one and now they added even more speed through rookie RB Jaylen Wright. Shootouts are in the horizon. Week 2 under the lights on TNF followed by a Week 9 showdown at Highmark Stadium. 
• Bills vs. Chiefs: Perhaps a boring pick, but beating Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs remains the measuring stick for the Bills, who are among the AFC's elite but not at the Chiefs' level, which could be said about 30 other teams. Bills Mafia will be hosting the Super Bowl champions in Week 11. 

Primetime games and Streaming Service Broadcasts

Which games will be primetime viewing?

Early on, the Bills will get a lot of action under the lights as they'll be playing in primetime in four out of their first six games. Here is the full list of night-time showdowns: 

Bills @ Dolphins: An early matchup to set the tone for the AFC East battle couldn't hurt anyone.

Bills vs. Jaguars: Trevor vs. Josh under the lights is certainly not a bad idea. 

Bills @ Ravens: Lamar Jackson, a two-time MVP, versus Josh Allen would be must-watch TV.

Bills vs. Jets: I love the NFL running it back on primetime after having the Aaron Rodgers Monday Night blow up four plays into Rodgers' 2023 season. We all deserve the opportunity to make that moment right in our memories.

Bills vs. 49ers: Facing the 49ers in December will be a perfect measuring stick for Buffalo as San Francisco will once again be one of the most well-rounded rosters in the NFL.

Which games will you need streaming services to watch?

Thankfully, the only streaming services Bills fans will need is Amazon Prime, as their Week 2 TNF vs. Miami will be broadcast there. 

Strength of Schedule (based off Vegas win totals, not 2023 record)

Based on Warren Sharp's Strength of Schedule rankings, the Bills' schedule is 23rd in the NFL (32nd being the toughest). That's a big difference compared to the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins, who both rank in the Top 8.

Revenge Games on the Bills' 2024 schedule

• Stefon Diggs @ Bills: Oh, it'll be the storyline of the week in the NFL. I love that this game is in Buffalo and not in Houston. 
• Jordan Poyer (Dolphins) vs. Bills: All-Pro Po will be a part of a divisional showdown after Buffalo decided to let him walk in free agency.
• Mitch Morse and Gabriel Davis (Jaguars) vs. Bills: Two key characters of the Bills offense over the last few years will be matching up against Buffalo at Orchard Park. 

3 Must-watch Matchups

• Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes: It's the best two quarterbacks in the NFL. Period. 
• Dion Dawkins and Duane Brown vs. Haason Reddick: The Jets got themselves a top pass rusher in Reddick and it'll make the division rivalry even more fun. 
• Jalen Ramsey vs. Keon Coleman: The new Dolphins DC (Anthony Weaver) will likely use Ramsey differently than Vic Fangio and have him shadow the top receiver in Buffalo.
