A Week 3 rooting guide for Buffalo Bills fans puts a win over the Chargers first: Buffalo could reach 3-0 on Sunday. It also backs Jacksonville, Detroit and Kansas City over the Patriots, Jets and Dolphins, with other choices shaped by tiebreakers and draft position.
Elsewhere, the guide favors Houston over Indianapolis because Buffalo beat the Texans; Pittsburgh over 2-0 Cincinnati; Cleveland over Carolina and winless Tennessee over the Giants to steer struggling AFC teams away from premium draft position; and Bills opponents Las Vegas, Baltimore and the Rams over New Orleans, Dallas and Denver. In NFC-only games, it picks Green Bay, Minnesota and Chicago—all on Buffalo's schedule—and San Francisco over Arizona.
These are rooting choices, not predictions. The order is a Buffalo win first, AFC East losses next, then wins by teams Buffalo has beaten to improve strength of victory and by other Bills opponents to build strength of schedule. When those links do not apply, the guide favors pulling AFC leaders toward the pack and moving struggling teams away from premium draft position.
