Well it won't be Chiefs/ Jags or Pats...

 

Could see Miami/ Giants or Jets game there

I hope it’s the Jints. I would really want to be there for that one.

As long as it has to be, it has to be. No division games in London please.

Well Bills home games are:

Pats - Play in Germany

Jets

Dolphins

Cowboys

Giants

Bucs

Broncos

Raiders

Jags - have a 'home game' in London already

 

KC is an away game so excluded.

 

Can't imagine the Raiders/ Broncos being being sent to London. Big time difference and other reasons.

Bucs will probably be rebuilding

 

Could see the appeal of Giants vs Buf. All 'NY' game and former coach story line

Jets all 'NY' game too, and Jets are rising, especially if they land a QB

Dolphins - not sure NFL would take away that rekindled rivalry from either home game

Cowboys - possible, but may want to make that a prime time game in the USA

I don’t care if their opponent is the Richmond Greyhounds. I still want to be there.

Buffalo Bills executive vice president/chief operating officer Ron Raccuia in an interview with the News at the NFL's annual meeting

Earlier this offseason, the Bills were selected to play a home game at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. NFL teams are required to play one “home” game internationally over a 10-year period.

 

The opponent and date of the Bills’ London game will be announced this spring when the rest of the 17-game schedule is unveiled.

“They have told us it is the most popular game they’ve listed, right up there with the Tom Brady game (for Tampa Bay) in Germany (last year vs. Seattle) in the history of the International Series,” Raccuia said.

And it looks like 5-6 weeks before the schedule drops

Bills’ London game could be second-highest pre-selling game in international NFL history, exec says

 

Raccuia said he received a report that the Bills’ matchup is “the highest pre-selling game in international series history, with probably the exception of the Tom Brady game in Germany.”

Probably called them right after reviewing last season's home games.  Realizes Russ probably plays better in a different hemisphere.

So Russ will be cooking some haggis. Should be an interesting game.
