Buffalo Bills looking at 1-7 or 0-8 start, Vegas analyst says on ESPN Radio
‘They’ve got five road games in their first eight — Baltimore, Minnesota, Houston, Green Bay, Indy — 0 and 5 as far as I’m concerned. And if you look at what they’ve got at home in those first eight, one of those is the Patriots at home. That’s a loss, 0 and 6. Their other two at home are against the Chargers and Titans. Maybe they split those. So you’re looking at 1 and 7 or 0 and 8 in all likelihood for the Bills.’
The Bills will roll with Nathan Peterman, not Josh Allen, at QB in Week 1
‘Buffalo’s move may — in the long run — be more about protecting Allen than Peterman’s superiority: The Bills open the season with games against the Ravens, Chargers and Vikings, whose defenses all finished in the top seven of Football Outsiders’ weighted DVOA metric in 2017.’

Peterman is Bills’ starting quarterback ahead of Allen
‘In 10 months, Peterman has gone from throwing five interceptions in the first half of his first career start, to being chosen Monday as Buffalo’s season-opening starter. Though the job is his until rookie first-round pick Josh Allen is deemed ready, Peterman’s ascension from being counted out to being counted on is a testament to the second-year player’s perseverance.’

After trading AJ McCarron, Bills name 2017 fifth-rounder Nathan Peterman starting QB
‘It’s fairly clear that Allen will take over the team’s top job sooner or later, but the Bills want him to wait a little while before ascending to the QB spot. Buffalo’s early-season schedule is pretty tough, with the Ravens, Chargers, Vikings, Packers, Titans, and Texans on tap in the first six weeks of the season. It’s possible Allen takes over at some point during that run, but the Bills also might elect to keep him on the bench until the schedule eases up a bit over the second half of the year.’
