Who will Bills play in divisional round after win vs. Jaguars image

The Buffalo Bills are moving on in the NFL playoffs, as the team picked up a road win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card round. 

Sunday's game in Jacksonville was incredibly competitive from start to finish, but Bills quarterback Josh Allen led a masterful game-winning drive to send Buffalo to the next round.

That said, let's take a look at who the Bills will play in the divisional round next weekend.

Who will Bills play in divisional round?

The Bills have three potential opponents in the divisional round: The Denver Broncos, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Houston Texans.

Denver has a first-round bye as the No. 1 seed, while Pittsburgh and Houston will square off against each other on Monday to end wild-card weekend. The New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers also play on Sunday night.

Here are all the scenarios that could play out during the rest of the weekend, which would decide the Bills' opponent next week:

-Patriots win + Steelers win = Bills travel to Broncos
-Patriots win + Texans win= Bills travel to Broncos
-Chargers win + Steelers win= Bills travel to Steelers
-Chargers win + Texans win= Bills travel to Texans

The lowest remaining seed will play the Broncos in the divisional round in Denver. The only way Buffalo avoids a matchup with Denver is if Los Angeles beats New England.
