Denver Broncos vs Buffalo Bills: Altitude vs Experience 
This is one of the most anticipated match-ups of these NFL playoffs. In Denver, at a still-hostile Mile High Stadium, the Broncos host a Bills side that’s coming in with no fear. Two confident teams. Two solid rhythms. Expect a scrap that runs right to the wire.
Denver: a well-oiled machine 
The Broncos’ season has been anything but ordinary. Thirteen wins in their last fourteen, top of the AFC and a welcome first-round bye: Denver’s ticked every box. That success is built on a clear, almost relentless identity.
Defense is the foundation. Fewest points allowed in the league, leader in sacks with 68 QB takedowns, they smother offenses week after week. At home, with the altitude as a weapon, Denver sets a punishing tempo, especially in the second half.
Offence is simple: establish the run, chew up the clock, avoid mistakes and let the defence call the tune. If the Broncos grab an early lead and force Buffalo to chase, they’re right in their comfort zone.
Buffalo: specialists in tight finishes 
Buffalo arrives in Colorado with confidence forged under pressure. That 27-24 Wild Card win over Jacksonville was telling. Under pressure, Josh Allen was clean and precise — no interceptions. He showed he turns up when the margin gets thin.
The Bills haven’t escaped injuries, particularly on defence and at receiver, but the team’s DNA is intact. Buffalo plays tough, handles low-scoring scraps and stays alive until the final possession.
The ground game will be central — not to steamroll Denver, but to stop Denver’s defensive front from lighting up. Protecting Allen is priority one. Give him time and he’s proven he can grind through almost any situation, even the nastiest ones.
Keys to the game
- Denver’s been virtually untouchable at home this season.
- The Broncos boast the most aggressive defence in the league.
- Buffalo just posted a signature road win in the playoffs.
- Josh Allen has scored at least one touchdown in 17 of his last 19 games against teams on a positive run.
- Control of the ground game will be crucial to limit defensive pressure.
NFL Prediction Denver Broncos vs Buffalo Bills
Buffalo Bills to Win
Denver will impose its will in bursts and make the game suffocating, especially early. But when margins tighten and everything comes down to a few plays, Josh Allen’s experience and composure swing it. In a tight finish, Buffalo has the weapons to strike at the right moment.
First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We offer an opinion, a snapshot, not a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A big penalty, an injury, a freak play… and the script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it’s not. Yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Do the sensible thing: bet small, set a bankroll and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a hobby, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, stressing you out, or causing problems — pause. And if needed, contact a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re there for.
- Ultimately, you’re responsible. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and it won’t vanish, not even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: betting is prohibited for minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (losses, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No guarantees from us
Our predictions aren’t a contract. They carry no legal weight. Plain: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Information that changes
A prediction is always based on what we know when we write it. Meanwhile a lineup (like the Broncos’) changes, a player gets hurt, the weather turns nasty… and the analysis quickly becomes outdated. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, just check that gambling’s legal where you are. If it’s not, that’s on you, not us.
