The NFL’s Divisional Round kicks off on Saturday afternoon, starting with an AFC matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High.
The Broncos (14–3) are fresh off capturing the AFC West title, the No. 1 seed, and a first-round bye. Denver looks to avenge last season’s Wild Card loss to Josh Allen and the Bills (12–5) — leaning on its young backfield commanded by second-year signal-caller Bo Nix and rookie running back RJ Harvey.
Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. ET. Denver enters as a slight 1.5-point home favorite, while Buffalo sits at -105 on the moneyline. The game’s total is set at 45.5 points.
Ahead of the AFC Divisional Round matchup between the Bills and Broncos, here’s my favorite RJ Harvey prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best RJ Harvey Prop Bet for Bills vs. Broncos
Best Bet: RJ Harvey Anytime Touchdown (-130)
RJ Harvey emerged as Denver’s primary running back after J.K. Dobbins landed on the injured reserve with a foot injury in Week 11. The rookie took command of the Broncos’ backfield over the final seven games of the regular season, handling 96 carries for 326 yards and five touchdowns.
Now, Harvey is set to play an instrumental role in his first playoff appearance — with Denver eager to secure its first postseason win since Super Bowl 50 in 2016.
While Buffalo boasts one of the NFL’s top pass defenses, its run defense has been porous. The Bills allowed the fifth-most rushing yards in the league at 5.1 yards per carry and surrendered a whopping 24 rushing touchdowns — tied with the Cowboys for the most in the NFL.
With Buffalo likely blanketing Nix’s receivers, expect Denver to lean on Harvey to punch in a score. He found the end zone five times over a four-game stretch during the regular season and appears poised to return to the well against the Bills on Saturday afternoon.
