Summary

Buffalo Bills eye another AFC Championship berth as Josh Allen battles through injuries and a blitz-heavy Denver Broncos defense. Can the Bills’ retooled offense, featuring James Cook’s ground attack and a re-emerging Keon Coleman, deliver under playoff pressure and outmaneuver Sean Payton’s unpredictable special teams tactics? Joe Marino previews the high-stakes Bills vs. Broncos playoff matchup, examining key injury updates with Kyle Trimble from Banged Up Bills, including the potential returns of Ed Oliver and Curtis Samuel. Key discussion points include the impact of Ty Johnson's possible absence on pass protection, Denver’s man coverage schemes versus Allen’s strengths, and how the Bills’ offensive line matches up against the Broncos’ lighter defensive front. Don’t miss sharp predictions, essential prop bets, and a look at whether Buffalo’s defense can shut down Bo Nix to secure another shot at the Super Bowl.
