First try out Frank Gore on the Dareus-less Bills D line. Any success there plus Luck at the helm will make it an easy game.
If the running game is not successful, I'd try to push 5 wide to spread out secondary and create more 1 on 1 match ups. Luck, just like Thurman pointed out yesterday, is very good at viewing the whole field and finding a favorable match up quickly. With the Bills missing McKelvin and is starting rookie Darby, there are more of a chance getting a favorable one-on-one, or some wide receiver grouping that causes confusion/natural receiver screening among defenders. This is also the way to minimize the exposure of O-Line to Bills strong D-Line.
There could also be no huddle element added in. Get a favorable grouping, keep it and drive it down. The Pats under Brady were pretty good at that. Now Roethlisberger and the Steelers are doing it more often as well.
