On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of Saturday's AFC Divisional round clash as the Buffalo Bills take on the Denver Broncos, including a discussion on the state of both teams, four keys to a Bills victory, five "bold predictions" for the game and a stab at predicting the final score.

After knocking off Jacksonville last weekend, the Bills take to the road again trying to advance to the conference championship. To do that they'll have overcome many things, none so more than injuries that'll keep a few important players out and others are far less than 100%. Denver is fresh off a bye earned by being the top seed and there's several things Bills fans should be worried about with them. However, there's also areas of the team that can be exploited, as Patrick gives his lowdown on each team.

From there it's Patrick's four biggest keys to the Bills finding a way to come out on top, none so more important, as usual than not losing the turnover battle. After last week the Bills remained undefeated when not losing the turnover battle. Also, having early down success and weathering the storm will be huge keys.

Five bold predictions is always fun, at least it is when the Bills win and Patrick is right. Among his today is a successful return for Curtis Samuel, who's been a huge bust this season. Also, can Taron Johnson make us forget about a forgettable season with one big fourth quarter play? Patrick seems to think so.

Of course, it all ends with a prediction for the game and we'll save the suspense here---Patrick's picking the Bills and tells everyone the biggest reasons why. I feel like you can probably guess the biggest one.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by NFL insider and Denver host/reporter Benjamin Allbright to discuss this Saturday's Buffalo Bills vs Denver Broncos Divisional Round showdown more from a Denver perspective.

Allbright is one of the most respected football insider and analysts in the industry and has been kind enough to appear on Talking Buffalo periodically dating all the back to 2018. In fact, Allbright predicted the Bills would trade up for Josh Allen on this show just weeks before the 2018 draft. Patrick takes advantage of that moment to ask Allbright, based out of Denver what it would be like for the Broncos had they drafted Allen fifth overall instead of Bradley Chubb.

But this is all about Saturday's playoff matchup and Patrick grills Benjamin to learn as much as possible about the Broncos from someone who directly covers the team. What makes the Broncos the top seeded team that earned a first-round bye? What about this team is exceptional? What could potentially be exposed by the Bills? Speaking of, how are people in Denver actually feeling from their end about facing Josh Allen and a very banged up Buffalo team? That plus Patrick asks Benjamin if he's sticking to Ben's preseason guns of the Bills going to the Super Bowl or not? Follow Benjamin Allbright on Twitter @AllbrightNFL.

Patrick also spends time before and after talking about the state of a beat up Bills team that is getting ready to try and go out and get their second straight road playoff win. That and plenty more!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly chat, focused around a discussion of the Bills positionally and their performance in Jacksonville as well as a handful of things that definitely have Buffalo facing some adversity going into Denver for the Divisional round this Saturday.

Linebacker, cornerback and tight end (as almost always) stood out in a good way for Buffalo in their three point win over Jacksonville as Matt breaks down the team position by position.

While prefacing that saying the Bills have no excuses and a very fair chance to go to Denver and knock off the top seeded Broncos on Saturday, there's definitely some factors working against them. Patrick and Matt hit on a handful of them, ranging from short rest to a ridiculous difference between when practice squad elevations are due and the roster being set because the Bills are playing at 4:30pm Saturday instead of 8:00pm. That plus a boatload of injuries that could end up coming to the wire.

Also, do the guys think the Bills have much fuel left in the tank after a grueling win in Jacksonville? That plus what are the chances Ed Oliver and Curtis Samuel both return this weekend and much more.
