No way it's the Bills. The NFL will want them to play a playoff team in the season opener. In addition since the NFL went to the Thursday opener in 2002 they've only had a divisional matchup once, with the Giants playing the Redskins in 2008. The last 7 openers have featured the champion playing a team from their own conference, so that would seem to make Pittsburgh the frontrunner, but it wouldn't be at all surprising if they chose Philly.
