My prediction, if the Bills do win the SB (no jinx), is Cincy at Buffalo, which @boyst also predicted here on the first page. The NFL prefers not to have inter-conference (and also division) games for the NFL Kickoff if at all possible, despite Buffalo at LA for 2022 (no other choice really) and Detroit at KC for 2023 (only other choice was Cincy at KC, but they wanted to save that game for later). But Philly, KC, and Baltimore are possibilities (but both Baltimore and KC played the opener this season, so less likely).

The NFL will want to hype the redemption year for Burrow, the matchup of two great QBs all off season, and this matters to us because in the first month the Bengals are dangerous to everyone... Including themselves.

Agreed with the redemption angle. Cincy usually gets off to slow starts, but they would be hyped for an opener on national TV at Buffalo. Of course. we would be too, as we have lost the last two to them.
