Before we get to the topics for you to weigh in on, here are the home and away games:

Bills’ 2025 home games

Bills’ 2025 away games

Buffalo Bills holiday games

The Bills aren’t going to play Philadelphia on NFL’s Opening Night because they’ll want Philly at home, so we can scratch that idea.

The Bills have played on Thanksgiving a lot in recent years, but I can’t completely rule it out, especially since the NFL could want Buffalo on consecutive Thursday nights.

Black Friday and Christmas are the two I’m circling for the Bills. Last year, the Chiefs occupied spots in both games and I think it’s Buffalo’s turn. That stinks, because I don’t want Buffalo on Christmas, but I do think it’s going to happen in 2025. Black Friday is also a nice day for relaxing, so watching the Bills isn’t what I’d prefer.

Buffalo Bills prime-time games

With games against both Super Bowl participants, a rematch between MVP front-runners Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, and the Bengals lurking, the home schedule is nuts and there are going to be home prime-time games for the Bills alongside home nationally televised 4:25 games on CBS.

The Steelers game is the only one I see in prime time on the away schedule.

I watch most of the prime-time games anyway, so this topic isn’t high on my list.

Buffalo Bills international games

Buffalo plays at four potential international NFL hosts in 2025: Dolphins (Madrid), Steelers (Dublin), Browns (London), and Jets (London).

The NFL hasn’t put a divisional game overseas since 2019, so I think it’s really unlikely Buffalo plays Miami in Spain and mostly unlikely Buffalo plays at the Jets in London. While not exclusive, they’ve tended to favor inter-conference matchups, but none of those are on here. Likewise, the Bills were in London in 2023, so there are plenty of teams higher on the pecking order.

While I’d love to see the Bills in the first Ireland game for selfish reasons, I’m not thinking this is going to be a thing. If it is, breakfast with the Bills is fine with me.

Bills road trips in 2025

Most Bills fans want the Miami game in December or January to escape the cold winter. Add Carolina to the list, as a bunch of ex-pats live around Charlotte. Same with Houston to a lesser degree.

If I’m a Bills fan who traveled, I’d be circling the Falcons game because we don’t go there often and Atlanta is a cool city. So I am hoping they can put that one in October or early December to avoid the holidays.

For a while, Buffalo was in New England between Christmas and New Years quite often, and Boston and New England are great to visit in the fall. They played in October in 2023, but the last time before that where it wasn’t December or January was 2016.

Bills rest deficit in 2025

What I am most looking at on the schedule is rest deficit: When do the Bills have more rest than their opponent and when do they have less?

Facing the Chiefs, Bengals, or Ravens on a short week for only the Bills would be tough. Getting a bye before playing those teams would be great.

Then not wanting to play the Steelers or Eagles right before those three AFC powerhouses is next on the list. Don’t want to be busted up heading into the rematch with KC.
