Sunday's wild-card tripleheader kicks off with the Broncos (10-7, 12-5 ATS) visiting the AFC East champion Bills (13-4, 10-7 ATS).

Buoyed by the stellar play of MVP contender Josh Allen, the Bills (+550 to win the Super Bowl) had won 10 of 11 games before dropping their regular-season final in a game that had no impact on seeding and saw Buffalo rest most of its starters.

Meanwhile, the Broncos (75-1 to win the Super Bowl) appear to have found their quarterback of the future (and present), with Bo Nix leading Denver to the playoffs in his rookie campaign.

The Bills' playoff run last season ended with a divisional-round loss to the eventual champion Kansas City Chiefs, while the Broncos will be making their first postseason appearance since the 2015 season and come into Sunday's game as significant underdogs.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on CBS/Paramount+.
