Buffalo said farewell to Ralph Wilson Stadium at the end of last season, with Highmark Stadium built across the street from the Bills home of 52 years.The Bills never managed to win a Super Bowl during their time at The Ralph, but enter their first season at their new stadium with high hopes of finally ending their wait for a first title.And they made a positive start in Week 1, with quarterback Josh Allen producing a superb display against a much-vaunted Houston Texans defense in a thrilling 36-31 road win.Detroit also had to work for a Week 1 victory, the Lions surrendering a 21-point lead against the New Orleans Saints before eventually prevailing 31-30 in overtime.It was a very narrow escape for the Lions, whose victory was secured when the Saints failed on a two-point conversion try in the additional period.And Lions head coach Dan Campbell knows the onus is very much on his defense to make life difficult for Allen if they are to have a hope of spoiling the Bills party.Theyre good in 11 [personnel one running back, one tight end, three receivers]. Theyre good in 12 [ 1 RB, 2 TE, 2WR], Campbell said. Theyve got personnel. Theyve got a quarterback who makes it go, and theyve got a coaching staff that can find those little nuggets and the mismatches.Ultimately, I dont care what they throw at us, the quarterback is the key to all of this. If we dont make him go the long, hard way every time, it can get very difficult.The Bills are relishing the prospect of a first competitive game at their new home, but head coach Joe Brady is keen to ensure they do not play to the occasion too much.The environment is going to be outstanding. We can allow the environment to change, but we cant [change,] Brady said.I hope that we approach Thursday as its the most important game of the season because its the next one. If we make it about more than it is, then Im not doing a good enough job, and usually thats not going to end with the right result.The city of Buffalo, its a night that they deserve. Its going to be an outstanding environment. Its where we want to be; we want to play under the lights, and we wanna do all that. So lets embrace it. And now its an opportunity for us to show kind of our conviction in what we believe in.Prediction for Detroit Lions @ Buffalo BillsThe Lions have the firepower to spoil the Bills big night, but they dont have enough on defense to slow down Allen and Co.Prediction: Detroit Lions 27 34 Buffalo Bills How to watch Detroit Lions @ Buffalo BillsThe Detroit Lions-Buffalo Bills matchup kicks off at 8:15pm ET (5:15pm PT, 1:15am BST).It will be available to stream on Prime Video.
