9 takeaways from the Bills’ 2020 schedule release

Takeaways from the Buffalo Bills’ 2020 schedule release.

 

Zero teams coming off bye

Another plus: The Bills don’t play a single team that’s coming off their bye week next season. Along with Buffalo, only the Titans have their schedule arranged this way. This is a big edge for the Bills.

First, those teams are always much more rested because they weren’t getting beat up the week prior like Buffalo was. In addition, they have two weeks to prep for the Bills, as opposed to just one while the Bills also only have one week to prep for that team. This is a pretty big advantage for Buffalo next season, something they could use since their strength of schedule is the fifth-hardest in the NFL.
