This is a very long article, but it has good information about some of the national games and what the Buffalo area will receive without needing to have apps.

 

Alan Pergament: Buffalo stations carrying Bills games not impacted by NFL's new TV rule

Now let’s take a station-by-station look at where the games will be broadcast:


WIVB: Its loss of some of the biggest matchups to prime time was WGRZ-TV (Channel 2) and WKBW-TV’s (Channel 7) gain. The losses include the season opener against the New York Jets and Josh Allen’s golf buddy, Aaron Rodgers, to “Monday Night Football” and prime-time games against AFC rivals Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals. But Channel 4 should be pleased that CBS kept several other big games.

 

They include the Bills home opener against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sept. 17; the 4:25 p.m. games at Philadelphia on Nov. 26 and at the Kansas City Chiefs on Dec. 10; the 1 p.m. Oct. 1 home game with the Miami Dolphins and the 1 p.m. Dec. 31 game with the New England Patriots.


According to a CBS release, the Bills game against Philadelphia will be a national game and Bills games with the Jets on Nov. 19 and the Kansas City game on Dec. 10 are among other “highly anticipated games” in the 4:25 p.m. national window.

 

The Bills games with Miami on Oct. 1 and the New England game on Dec. 31 are among the network’s “headline” games at 1 p.m.

 

WUTV (Channel 29): The local Fox affiliate gets the huge 4:25 p.m. game on Dec. 17 with the Bills vs. the Dallas Cowboys but lost the Oct. 15 game with Brian Daboll’s New York Giants to NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” that it normally would have carried if it played on Sunday afternoon.

 

WGRZ: The local NBC affiliate gets two of the season’s highest profile games – the huge Bills-Giants prime-time game and a second “Sunday Night Football” game with Joe Burrow and the Bengals on Nov. 5. As the local NBC affiliate, it is practically guaranteed to be the local channel that will simulcast a third game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Dec. 23 that is carried nationally on NBC’s streaming platform, Peacock.


The cable and streaming games are carried on network affiliates in the markets of the participating teams. “I would certainly expect NBC, owning Peacock, chooses an NBC affiliate to air those games,” said Hans Schroeder, the NFL’s chief operating offer, in the NFL conference call.

 

WKBW: The local ABC affiliate has the potential to carry four prime-time Bills games. It will carry the regular season opener on “Monday Night Football” against the Jets and Rodgers on Sept. 11 that is simulcast on ABC. The “MNF” game with Denver on Nov. 13 on ESPN isn’t scheduled to be simulcast on ABC but still likely will be on Channel 7. The station also is expected to get the rights to the “Thursday Night Football” game with Tampa Bay on Oct. 26 on Prime Video through a long-term deal that Channel 7’s owner, E.W. Scripps Company, made with Amazon.

 

It could also get the 9:30 a.m. Oct. 8 game against Jacksonville in London on the NFL Network, which isn’t assigned to a local channel yet. Channel 7 simulcast last year’s NFL Network game against New England, which may make it the bidding favorite to get this one, too.

They play the AFC East - 24-27 last season, excepting Bills, with people expecting Jets and Dolphins to improve - and NFC East - 43-23-2 last season.

 

Ten games against teams combined for 67-50-2 last season.  .572 winning percentage.  

 

And then the AFC West last seasons was 35-33.  So 8 games with divisions above .500, and 6 against division rivals just under .500 combined.  

 

So yeah, it was going to be a tough schedule.  And all matchups predetermined in 2021.

I love this stuff.  Every year everyone prognosicates based on all the standard factors but mostly based on what teams did last year.

 

Every year they're wrong AF.
