Pick
Buffalo comes into this game struggling in their last five games, where they are 2-3. The Bills will be at home, where they play their best football, but will play a Denver team that has won two games in a row. The bad news for Denver is that they will be on the road for this game, as their previous two wins came at home. This is an interesting game, as both teams have been inconsistent this season, but I am going with Denver and the points here. Buffalo hasn’t won by more than seven points in five straight games and Denver is coming off of their bye week with some momentum. Take the Broncos here.
