It’s very important (for both teams) not to get behind early…I predict that whichever team wins the toss will elect to receive the opening kickoff.  I really hope the Bills do this.

Always.

Here I would receive

 

If for some reason, the Bengals score, Bills get stopped early, and then Bengals score again in the next drive, it could already be a rough day 10 minutes in

Their performance should differ from the last time they played the Bengals. 
 

I use the word “played” lucely.

I am always a defer person as no matter what you are always going to want the ball to start the second half. If you are up you want to start the half with a chance to build your lead. If you are down you want the chance to cut down the deficit to start the half.

What about which side of the field to take?  If wind is going to be a factor, it might be better to have it at our backs at key times.  

There is only one game in the last 5 years I remember a team taking thekr choice of the field

There's always been a slight advantage to deferring as teams that do win 51 to 52% of the time depending on what longitudinal study you look at.  It's why you see most teams defer to get the double dip opportunity which can swing momentum.  I think of the Bills/Colts WC game a few years back as the perfect example.
