Do you think the Broncos will beat the Bills on Sunday?

The Denver Broncos draw what is the toughest opponent of the AFC Divisional Round in the Buffalo Bills. To be the best, you have to beat the best and it feels like the winner of this game is likely to be the team that ends up in the Super Bowl when its all said and done.

After opening as home underdogs, the line quickly shifted to favor the Broncos. However, the insult was there and we won’t stop calling them overdogs until the season is over. Be ready for an electric game on Saturday!

Broncos vs Bills Score Predictions

Collectively, our Mile High Report staff is predicting a Broncos 26-21 win at home over the Bills to advance to the AFC Championship Game. Here’s how each of us predicted things would go individually:

Broncos 24, Bills 22

Now isn’t the time for predicting losses. We’ll leave that to the national media. If the Broncos are going to win this game then it’ll likely come down to the final play. In this scenario for me, I see Josh Allen leading a furious touchdown drive in the final minutes with a two-point conversion failure to give Denver the win. – Tim Lynch

Broncos 24, Bills 21

It’ll be a thriller and Bo knows thrillers. Josh Allen can win games all by himself and he’s gonna get close but Denver’s pass rush will be too much in the end. Oh, and my boy Jaleel needs to have a big game. And he will. Love being the Overdogs. – Mike DeCicco

Broncos 27, Bills 26

This game is going to be incredibly uncomfortable to watch for the entirety of the 60 minutes, but it will be worth it in the end. The offense will find its footing, eventually, before halftime and will put points on the board. Don’t be surprised if the Bills have the lead heading into halftime though. We all know where this team, aggravatingly, likes to perform at its best and that’s usually when trailing late in the game. – Ross Allen

Broncos 16, Bills 13

The scariest part of this game is the ability of Josh Allen to take over. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that he could throw the Bills on his back and carry them into the AFC Championship. And don’t get wrapped up in revenge for the Broncos. Last year’s playoff loss has no bearing on Saturday. What does impact this game is the ability of the defense to limit Allen, and generate turnovers. If they do this, and Bo Nix can control the tempo of the game, Denver should be hosting another playoff game this season. I think that happens, but it won’t be easy. – Adam Malnati

Broncos 27, Bills 24

Just like most games the Broncos have played this season, I expect the Divisional Round matchup against the Bills to be another close game. I have a feeling Vance Joseph and the defense can do just enough to limit Josh Allen’s impact on the game. Moreover, I believe the Broncos will learn from last year’s mistakes and do a much better moving the ball on the ground offensively. I’ve got the Broncos winning and hosting the Houston Texans in the AFC Championship Game. – Chris Hart

Broncos 34, Bills 20

Everything is going pretty much to plan for Sean Payton.  They have the #1 seed, home field advantage, and plenty of time to cook up a game plan for the Bills. Yes, Josh Allen is the best quarterback left in the AFC. But this Broncos team is complete from top to bottom and healthy.  I think this game is going to surprise people quite a bit. – Sadaraine

Broncos 28, Bills 17

All season the Broncos have held on or come back in the closing seconds to win. The national publicity around this game has focused around Josh Allen and Sean Payton being a jerkface to a reporter. There has been no mention of how clutch Bo Nix is, how stout the Broncos defense is, or really anything having to do with the actual team or the level of play that has gotten them this far. The Broncos are rested, have a home game, play at altitude, and have one of the best teams the Broncos have seen in years. Get ready for some fireworks as the Broncos show the NFL they’re not a flash in the pan. Say it with me, THE BRONCOS ARE BACK, BABY!!! – Jess Place

Broncos 27, Bills 23

For the first time in a decade, Denver is playing host to an NFL playoff game. The last time the Broncos played at home in the playoffs, PFM was the quarterback. Now, it’s Nix. And like Manning, his team brings an amazing defense to the equation. The stadium is going to be rocking — I’m thinking old Mile High rocking. They’ll be loud before the Bills enter the huddle. The Broncos will play off that environment and this opportunity. Payton and the veteran leaders will have this Denver team ready for the moment. – Ian St. Clair
