The NFL season is finally back, and while we’re all fired up for our Hawks to fly, some fanbases out there are already playing next-level chess in Week 1. Seriously, the Bills Mafia, those crazy cats, have already penned a full-on “constitution” for their rooting interests this weekend. And get this: one of their top goals? Our Seattle Seahawks taking down the New England Patriots.
The Bills’ Week 1 Playbook is Wild
Forget enjoying the pure chaos of early season football, Bills fans are apparently already calculating tiebreakers and playoff scenarios. They admit it’s “almost ridiculous” to do this in Week 1, but hey, that’s how they roll. Their early-season “Rooting Interests constitution” lays out their goals: always root for the Bills, obviously, but also to build their tiebreakers for later, knock last year’s AFC division winners down a peg, and push struggling AFC teams away from premium draft picks. They even want to keep the best draft picks in the NFC, and when two “irrelevant NFC teams” play, they root for the better team to win and the worse team to lose. Talk about being strategic from the jump! Oh, and don’t you ever forget, the Patriots, Dolphins, and Jets can lose every game and they won’t feel bad. Sounds like a division rivalry we can all understand.
From AFC Showdowns to NFC Shakes, Including Our Hawks
So, with that master plan in mind, who are the Bills Mafia putting their energy behind in Week 1? Beyond their own game , Buffalo Bills over Houston Texans, naturally , they’ve got a whole list of outcomes they want to see. In the AFC East, they’re not just hoping for a Patriots loss, they’re specifically pulling for our Seattle Seahawks over New England. Yeah, you heard that right, they want our boys to get that W! They’re also rooting for the Tennessee Titans over the New York Jets and the Las Vegas Raiders over the Miami Dolphins. Elsewhere in the AFC, they’re on board with the Cincinnati Bengals over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore Ravens over the Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Los Angeles Chargers over the Arizona Cardinals, and Kansas City over the Denver Broncos. Even in NFC vs. NFC games, they’ve got preferences, hoping for the LA Rams over the San Francisco 49ers and the Chicago Bears over the Carolina Panthers.
It’s wild to see another team already so locked into the grand scheme of things, especially when the season just kicked off. But for the Bills, it’s all about setting up their season “now, later, or somewhere way down the road,” as they put it. These aren’t predictions; they’re strategic moves to help their own cause. So while they’re out there playing 4D chess with the entire league, we’ll just be over here cheering for our Hawks to kick off the season strong, just like the Bills want them to. Let’s get it, Seattle!
