With the AFC standings finalized, we know the Buffalo Bills' opponents and locations for 2013. Dates and times will be revealed when the NFL announces its schedule, usually in April.
The AFC East's cross-divisional matchups are against the AFC North and NFC South next year. Because the Bills finished in last place, they also will play the last-place teams from the AFC South and AFC West.

Buffalo will face five teams that made the playoffs this year: New England (twice), Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati.
The Bills had what appeared to be an easy menu of opposing quarterbacks in 2012, but certainly not next season.
If rosters hold up, then in nine of their 16 games the Bills will face a quarterback who has taken his team to the playoffs. The Bills will face a Super Bowl-winning quarterback at least four times.
