Buffalo travels to Denver seeking consecutive road playoff wins for the first time since 1992. The Bills outlasted the Jaguars last Sunday, 27-24, behind QB Josh Allen’s go-ahead TD run with 1:04 remaining. 

The top-seeded Broncos finished with their most wins (14) since 2015, the last time they hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Denver won eight of nine home contests and owns a spectacular 13-1 mark in the past 14 home outings. 

Saturday's kickoff from Empower Field at Mile High is set for 4:30 p.m. ET on CBS. Let’s look at a Bills vs. Broncos spread prediction for Saturday’s AFC Divisional Round playoff game, weaving in PrizePicks Team Picks data to consider.
