Denver Broncos
It’s time to give Bo Nix his flowers. The 12th overall pick in the 2024 draft has steadily seen his production increase, finishing with a career-high 321 passing yards and four TDs in the regular season finale against Kansas City. Nix has thrown for multiple TDs in four straight games and he’s had just one interception across his last three starts.
Buffalo has a bottom-10 pass defence that Nix should be able to exploit for at least a couple of TD passes. The Bills will win this game, but Nix is going down swinging.
Wild Card Weekend prop: Bo Nix Over 1.5 passing TDs (+135)
Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen will likely win his first career regular season MVP this season, so let’s focus on him right now. Allen has always been known as a quarterback who can keep the play alive with his feet and he ramps that reputation up even more in the playoffs.
He averages almost two more rushing attempts per game in the postseason (8.3) compared to the regular season (6.8) and this Broncos defence is designed to focus on man coverage, giving quarterbacks more opportunities to run.
Wild Card Weekend prop: Josh Allen Over 7.5 rushing attempts (+100)
