I don’t disagree with the fact the Bills Chiefs would be a great matchup and at night be a really special thing as a fan. Unfortunately I will be very surprised if that happens at this point for three reasons. 1. The Chiefs being Super Bowl champions means every opponent the Chiefs play on the road see this is as their marquee game for the year. The Super Bowl champion always is a lucrative team for opponents hosting them and the Chiefs have a very appealing team nationally. A down team like Miami hosts KC and this would be an opportune matchup especially with Tua. Buffalo will be in fierce competition to land the game which brings me to point two... 2. KC is on the road against the Ravens, Saints, and Buccaneers. TV crews will absolutely prioritize those games ahead of Buffalo and in division Denver has a rising team while the Raiders are opening a new stadium and what a way to do it. Buffalo isn’t just competing against 7 other teams for KC at night there facing two of the NFLs bluebloods in terms of TV attention (BAL & NOLA) and a TB team with Brady which is now the most sought after team for TV after KC. 3. Sal C from WGR had Mike North from the NFL who handles the schedule who was really interesting in regards to how the schedule is made. One of the important things he noted is that while everyone wants a home game against their top opponent at night they have to balance that teams needs and what’s fair to them. Figure KC is getting 2-3 homes games and if they go to NOLA and TB at night, is it really fair to KC to force them at night for a 5th or 6th night game that’s on the road? The Patriots did play three on the road but one was in division vs the Jets, another was a quick flight to Baltimore with only the HOU game being a longer road trip. Overall I just dont see it at this point. I’d love it and. Buffalo certainly has a good case with the playoffs two of the last three years, a great defense, and some rising young players. But after looking into this deeper a 4:25 spot would be nice at this point. Eat up that crow
Billl Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Is the Thursday night game considered prime time? I guess it technically is, but gross. 1

I think the networks are going to want to get the Bills on tv this year. I think we get 2 or 3 games. They are going to be looking for the most enticing match ups. Chiefs @ Bills - SNF Bills @ 49ers - TNF Seahawks @ Bills OR Bills @ Jets - MNF They are my predictions. Not bad. Nailed two of the four prime time opponents. 1
Bronxbomber21 Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 I think Kc Bills will be the highest rated Thursday night game of the year

HappyDays Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 4 hours ago, GunnerBill said: I said 4.... called Chiefs, 9ers and Steelers. Did not have the Pats down for a Prime Time game. Thought Seattle. I called Steelers SNF and Pats MNF (admittedly I thought we would be the home team). I thought for sure our Thursday game would be Dolphins or Jets.
