The Divisional Round is here and the action gets underway on Saturday as the Bills travel to Denver for a date with the Bills. These teams have previously squared off in the postseason just last year, so there is a bit of history here between these AFC foes that are expected to compete for the conference title. Here are my Bills vs Broncos TD scorer best bets for Saturday’s contest. You can also check out our NFL picks for EVERY playoff matchup after our experts finished the season up +78.1 units!

Bills anytime touchdown scorer best bet: Josh Allen (-105)

Over the last couple of postseasons, I’ve consistently targeted Josh Allen to find the end zone in every Bills playoff game, and those tickets have cashed repeatedly. Much like we saw a week ago, Buffalo’s path to success in this game will likely depend on the Wyoming’s product ability to use his legs to the Bills’ advantage. We can expect that to continue this week against a Broncos defense that is excellent, but did not exactly excel in the one game they played against a solid quarterback in recent months (Trevor Lawrence).
A week ago, I emphasized Allen’s ability to make things happen with his legs in a variety of situations — particularly on late downs. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady turned to Allen time and again against the stout Jacksonville defense on 3rd and 4th downs, and his ability to pick up tough yards around the goal line is second to none among all quarterbacks in this league. Allen has found the end zone with his legs in 5 of the Bills last 7 playoff games and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the MVP gets multiple opportunities in the red zone in this one. This prop still feels a bit mispriced at the current number, so let’s take advantage and back Allen to find the end zone once again.

Broncos anytime touchdown scorer prediction: Bo Nix (+310)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Under head coach Sean McDermott, the Bills defense has focused on limiting opportunities for the explosive play and allowing opponents to matriculate the ball down the field. Buffalo’s pass defense has improved over the course of the year, and the Bills have done a solid job of not allowing big plays to opposing wideouts. That should continue into this game against a Denver passing offense that hasn’t done much against heavy 2-high safety looks, which is what Bo Nix should see against this McDermott defense. However, the Bills run defense is one that has struggled all season long, and there could be rush lanes for Nix around the goal line. The Oregon product has tallied 5 rushing touchdowns on the season, so I’ll take a stab on Nix at this price.
