The maturation of third year quarterback Josh Allen has been a thing of beauty to watch unfold this year. Buffalo's offense accounted for 501 points, good for second most in the league this year.
Buffalo comes into this game as one of the hottest teams in the league, winning 9 of their last 10 lined games, while covering the number the last 8 straight. Think about that, they covered the number 8 straight to finish the season. That is impressive!
Looking closer, the Bills only played one playoff team during that span. This will mark the first time Buffalo has hosted a playoff game in 24 years.
Indianapolis has played 5 playoff teams during the last 9 lined games they played to close the season.
The Colts have a top 10 defense and possess better play in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Prefer to side with Colts coaching over Buffalo here as well.
Colts have a big edge over the Bills running the football and i think Indianapolis will find some success in this area. The emergence of Jonathan Taylor could prove huge if the Colts hope to compete here.

Bills played seattle, pittsburgh and clobbered the fins (who won 10 games) during that stretch. And keep in mind, Indy only has one road victory over a playoff team

For a team to be great, they first have to experience heartbreak in the playoffs in a game they should have won. I think Buffalo suffers this loss tomorrow that long term, will benefit the team for years to come.
Recently, Mahomes lost in the AFC Championship game to Tom Brady & Co only to win it all the following year. Nobody looks at that game anymore but I think Mahomes needed it to get better in the long term...
The line has been frozen all week with everybody and their grandma on the Bills. Why?
Of all the games this weekend, the opener seems to be one casual bettors see as a lock. Teasers, spreads; it’s all-in on the Bills. Say what you want about Rivers vs Allen but I’ll always side with experience over youth in a winner take all game. I like the response Indy had after the Pitt meltdown in week 16, says a lot about a coach and a team to over come that type of game so late in the season.
You can argue the Bills went on a tear after the heartbreak in the desert back a few weeks ago but Buffy had the good fortune of a bye after that game. McDermott is a good coach and he used the time off to cool his troops down and got the to regroup and rebound nicely to wrap the season up.
Going back to my earlier point, I believe for Buffy to take the next step in becoming great, you have to feel pain. Real pain. Pain that eats away at you all summer and you come back to camp with total revenge on your mind. It’s what we saw from KC last year and I believe we see it from the Bills next year.
I see Goggles-Pisano nailing a game winning FG to break the great fans of western NYs hearts Saturday afternoon.
Looking forward to this one for sure!

Much Respect .. The Colts are only 2-4 vs teams with a winning record this season ...The secondary will be without a starting CB , safety is coming out of concussion protocol, DT is banged up , and they're down 2 Left tackles .
The BILLS are on fire and have been getting better every week ...
2 of their losses came when the NFL screwed them and forced them to play a rescheduled game vs the Covid laden Titans and then the Chiefs the following week ...The BILLS defense was riddled with injuries to their 3 best players and others , several replacements were brought in off the street...The other loss was on a Hail Mary ..
The last 6 wins have been by double digits , wit6y each one has looked better than the last ...You might very well be asking yourself all game why you bet on a old statue over JOSH ALLEN ..
The defense is extremely deep and loaded with playmakers at every level ....
Of course the Colts could cover and or win outright, but I think you're getting a horrible line at anything short of double digits ....
Best of luck Brother ....
