Buffalo Bills (+1.5) over DENVER BRONCOS
Josh Allen played the Superman role and won as a road ‘dog last week. Why can’t he do it again?
The Bills took care of the Jags, who were actually a better team than the Broncos during the regular season in terms of DVOA.
Denver got the No. 1 seed in the AFC through one of the easiest schedules in football, finishing the season with the 7th-lowest strength of schedule.
Their wins weren’t exactly convincing either — the Broncos escaped with one-score wins over the Giants, Jets, Titans, and Raiders, the latter of which twice.
In their final two games of the season, Denver locked up the first-round bye with wins over the Patrick Mahomes-less Chiefs and Justin Herbert-less Chargers.
The Broncos have been dodging the league’s best all season.
Let’s see if they truly have it in them.

The Texans obliterated the Steelers, and they still got in their own way over and over in doing so.
C.J. Stroud seemingly fumbled a half-dozen snaps and turned the ball over three times.
Still, thanks to this ridiculous Houston defense, they won by 24.
Will Stroud and Co. be as mistake-prone on offense Sunday? I’m betting no.

Drake Maye has enjoyed an incredible sophomore season.
But I’m not sure he’s ready to take down a defense as good as this one.
Look for this one to stay close in what should be an offensive struggle for both teams.
LAST WEEK: 1-1.
2025 SEASON: 16-22.
