Kickoff from Denver takes place tomorrow at 4:30PM EST as the Buffalo Bills will look to keep their season alive, but they will need to defeat the Broncos on their own home turf.
Buffalo is coming into this game a little banged up, especially on the offense. The good news is that we have seen the Bills overcome the hurdles to get a win, but going up against the top team in the AFC is no joke. While the Broncos aren’t the best 1-seed we have ever seen, they earned the right to have home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Buffalo got the job done last week against Jacksonville, and now the goal is to punch their ticket to the AFC Championship game. The Bills made it to the conference title game last season, and part of their path was taking down the Broncos 31-7 in one of the most lopsided victories the Bills have had in the playoffs.
This season, Denver is the better team on paper record-wise, but you could make the argument that Buffalo has the better team that is led by the best player in football. However, the Bills are facing a good challenge being on the road in place where the Broncos only lost one game (ironically to the Jaguars who the Bills just beat).
Will Buffalo advance to AFC Championship game?
Denver has a solid defense, and they are taking on a Bills offense that is short of good weapons on the outside for Josh Allen. However, Buffalo still has the best rushing attack in the playoffs and they have a more favorable matchup against Denver than they did with the Jaguars.
We know that the defense is going to let up a big play or two, it has happened in nearly every game. At the same time, all that they have to do is just contain the Broncos’ offense which many teams were able to do this season. Not to mention, the Bills’ defense played at a solid level last Sunday.
Bills fans know that when Josh Allen is under center, anything is possible. If the defense can just play well enough to keep Denver out of the endzone, there should be full belief in Buffalo’s offense to get the job done and advance to their second consecutive conference title game.
