The Buffalo Bills entered the playoffs under the most pressure, due to several playoff failures.
But also because they have the best quarterback in the tournament.
Given the rest of the teams Buffalo will be facing, there is reason to think there is a high level of confidence that this is the year Josh Allen and Sean McDermott finally break through.
Afterall, there's no Patrick Mahomes in Josh's way.
For NFL.com's Dan Parr, out of the teams left in the playoffs, the Bills are third in postseason confidence to win the Super Bowl.
“In a year where there is no truly dominant force in the AFC, the Bills -- despite being the sixth seed -- lead our ranking among the conference’s four teams remaining in the playoffs,” Parr writes. “If Allen keeps doing his thing and Sean McDermott gets his best defensive player back, the Lombardi might not be so elusive for Buffalo anymore.”

Time is now for Buffalo
It is the nasty work of the football gods that, in one season, the Bills and Allen don't have to go through Mahomes, they also have their receiver room crippled by injury.
Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers are out, so Allen might have to don the Superman cape from the first snap in the divisional round.
That isn't ideal, but now we are in the territory of the Bills just doing whatever it takes to win.
James Cook and the run game will be key, but when it comes time to air it out, Allen's weapons have to make plays.
There is a confidence that Buffalo can beat Denver. And all of that confidence comes from No. 17 being on the field.
