The Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos will square off at Empower Field at Mile High on Saturday in the first of four divisional-round contests this weekend.
The Broncos are coming off a bye after the team finished in first place in the AFC West and in the No. 1 seed in the conference during the regular season.
The Bills failed to secure their division for the first time in several years, but they still managed to make the postseason by securing the No. 6 seed.
This is the second playoff meeting between these two teams in as many years. They last met in the wild-card round last season in a game that saw the Bills cruise to a 31-7 victory over the Broncos.
Do the majority of experts think the Bills will beat the Broncos yet again? Or do they think Denver will get its revenge this time around?
Let's find out.
Bills vs. Broncos predictions
Vinnie Iyer, AllSportsPeople: Broncos 27, Bills 24
Iyer: "Denver isn't getting respected as a No. 1 seed with Buffalo opening as road favorites as a No. 6 seed. That will be some bulletin-board material for Sean Payton's team, which has the defense to give Josh Allen more trouble on the road than Jacksonville did. The Bills' defensive holes will show up more with a game Bo Nix and the Broncos will avoid their usual slow offensive start. Allen can do only so much to save his team and Nix leans on having the better all-around system and coaching."
Bill Bender, AllSportsPeople: Bills 26, Broncos 21
Bender: "Why are the Bills being picked here? It's the Josh Allen factor. Buffalo is 3-4 S/U when he is sacked three or more times in a game this season. Allen had 306 total yards and three TDs at Jacksonville – and he took one sack. The Bills won the turnover battle, and that will be the same recipe for success against Denver. Buffalo beat the Broncos 31-7 in the AFC Wild Card round last season. This is a chance for Nix to earn his first playoff victory, but we're sticking with our Super Bowl pick."
