Broncos vs Bills Prediction & Pick

There's no denying that the Broncos played well last weekend, but it's concerning that all of their points came in the same quarter (second). They looked sluggish coming back from halftime and leaned on a strong defense to get the victory. The same thing cannot be said about the Bills, though.

Buffalo was in a battle for all four quarters and outscored their opponent by nine points in the fourth quarter for a comeback win. Quarterback Matt Barkley looked crisp, completing 18 of his 24 pass attempts for 224 yards. He'll have another opportunity to dazzle the home crowd on Saturday.

Final Score Prediction: Broncos: 17 | Bills: 24

Betting on preseason winner is certainly risky, but the Bills are too good to pass up here. There's a number of reasons to back head coach Sean McDermott's squad. They have a scorching hot QB in the backfield, a crowd rooting in their favor and a ton of rookies ready to make an impact on offense.

It's worth noting that the Broncos' defensive effort came against Cooper Rush and Ben DiNucci, too. Both of those signal-callers have found little NFL success when compared to Case Keenum and Matt Barkley. Back the Bills to extend their nine-game preseason winning streak to 10 with confidence.

Bet: Buffalo Bills Moneyline (-165)
