Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills head into a massive playoff game against Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos on Saturday, with the game also featuring the closest point spread of all four Divisional Round matchups.
As of this writing, Denver was only a slight favorite by one point, giving Allen and the Bills every bit of a chance to score another road upset. In their opening Wild Card game, they beat Jacksonville, defeating an excellent Jaguars team that some thought could reach the Super Bowl.
However, they'll next face the No. 1 seed in the AFC, with Denver getting a bye week to prepare for their opponents. Along with that, questions linger about whether Allen will have enough help on defense to win the game, or if the Broncos will capitalize to bounce the former MVP from the NFL Playoffs.

According to Nick Wright on his "What's Wright with Nick Wright?" podcast, this game won't even be close. However, in what probably won't surprise many who pay attention to Wright's takes on Fox Sports shows, he believes it will be Allen and the Bills who get the win.
“This is my favorite pick of the weekend — the Bills plus one in Denver," he said on his recent podcast, adding, "Bills win this game 27–13, and it’s not some close classic."
Wright suggested that many individuals have “overstated how vulnerable the Bills are” and mentioned their great running back, offensive line, and “very good pass defense.” Along with that, they have the best quarterback remaining in the playoffs, aside from MVP frontrunner Matthew Stafford.
According to Wright, the Broncos played the second-easiest schedule this past season, and facing the best quarterback and the Bills in this game is a "step up in class" for them.
Additionally, he contended that should Buffalo fall behind by a few touchdowns, they still have shown the ability to fight back and win games. On the other hand, Wright believes the Broncos will be in trouble if they are losing by double digits.
"Bo Nix makes a big mistake in it. That’s my official prediction for how the Broncos’ season ends," Wright also said regarding Denver's Divisional Round exit.
With such a close point spread, many fans are hoping for a classic, but based on Wright's remarks, Buffalo Bills fans will get to enjoy a comfortable win over the No. 1 seed in the AFC Divisional Round game.
