How MockSlate counts travel miles
Every game is a round trip from Highmark Stadium to the game venue, as the crow flies, rounded to ten miles. A home game counts zero; a neutral or international site counts from home even when the Bills are the designated home team. Rest days are the days since the previous game, a short week is fewer than seven, and the body clock is the kickoff in Bills home time. Back-to-back road games are flagged rather than modeled as one trip. All 32 teams ranked →
