  • Denver Broncos won 24-22 when the two teams last met in November 2023

Denver Broncos Form

Denver beat Kansas City on the final day of the regular season to finish 10-7 and earn a place in the postseason.

The Broncos lost their first two games of the season, but rallied to win five of the next six to keep themselves in the playoff mix.

They then dropped their first two games in November, only to respond with a run of four consecutive victories.

Denver’s run was halted by a 34-27 defeat at the Los Angeles Chargers, and they then lost 30-24 in overtime in Cincinnati to give themselves work to do in Week 18.

The Broncos got the job done at Arrowhead though, as they took full advantage of a weakened Kansas City team to win 38-0.

Buffalo Bills Form

Buffalo claimed another AFC East title and secured a place in the postseason by compiling a 13-4 record.

The Bills opened with three straight wins, only to then wobble on the road as they were beaten 35-10 in Baltimore and 23-20 in Houston.

They responded emphatically though, embarking on a seven-game win streak that put them firmly on course for the playoffs.

Buffalo’s tear was halted by a 44-42 shootout loss at the Los Angeles Rams, but they responded a week later with a 48-42 victory over Super Bowl favorites Detroit.

The Bills then beat New England and the New York Jets at home, 24-21 and 40-14, before dropping the regular season finale at the Patriots, 23-16.

Verdict

Denver have more than exceeded expectations, but a reality check is in store here.

Buffalo are in great form and have been perfect at home this season, so we expect the Bills to advance in the playoffs.
