CBS Sports predicts Buffalo Bills schedule start for 2026 NFL season

The Buffalo Bills face a challenging opening stretch to their 2026 NFL schedule. Projections from CBS Sports suggest the team could navigate through the first four weeks of the season undefeated before potentially sustaining a loss. The early schedule includes games against the Texans, Lions, Chargers, and Patriots. If the team manages to secure wins in these four matchups, a subsequent meeting with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5 is identified as the likely first point of defeat. Analysts cite the strength of the Texans, Lions, Chargers, and Patriots as significant obstacles for the Buffalo Bills throughout the opening month. Success during this period would establish momentum for the team as they head to SoFi Stadium for the Week 5 contest.
