A new report says the Bills will not open against the NFC West, rather they'll open at home against the NY Jets per Manish Mehta of the NY Daily News. The report was also confirmed by NY Jets beat reporter Brian Costello. This would make the third time in the last four years that the Bills and Jets kicked off their respective season schedules. The Bills won last season's opener in New Jersey.

According to John Clayton of the NFL, it will be AFC vs. NFC to open the season. That would mean the Bills go up against the NFC West in weeks 1-4, taking on Seattle, San Francisco, Arizona, and Los Angeles.
.@JohnClaytonNFL tells @937theFan that the NFL schedule will be NFC vs AFC for the 1st 4 weeks of the season. Steelers play the NFC East. So 1st 4 games would be Cowboys, Eagles, Redskins, and Giants.
