The Buffalo Bills hit the highway for the second consecutive week to face the rested Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in the Divisional Round opener on Saturday, January 17.

While all eyes will be on Buffalo superstar Josh Allen, my top Bills vs. Broncos props and NFL picks are eyeing a Denver trifecta to kickstart the weekend.

RJ Harvey anytime touchdown (-135)

The Buffalo Bills allowed an NFL-high 18 rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs during the regular season, and another four through the air, and Denver Broncos rookie RJ Harvey scored six times across six games out of the Week 12 bye.

Buffalo was also gashed for the third-most yards and second-highest EPA per carry while ranking 31st in run defense DVOA. 

Add the Bills allowing the Jacksonville Jaguars to run for a monster 6.7 yards per tote in the Wild Card round to Buffalo traveling for the second consecutive game on a short week, and I like Harvey to find paydirt on Saturday.

Evan Engram Over 21.5 receiving yards (-114)

Broncos tight end Evan Engram recorded 21 or more receiving yards in 11 of 16 games, including seven of nine at home, and his average total in this market was 26 during the regular season. 

Engram also ran receiving routes on 78% of his offensive snaps and was targeted on a respectable 22.2% of them for 7.8% of Denver’s air yards. 

While the Bills have been tough against tight ends, the matchup is accounted for in this total, and Engram finished the year strong with nine receptions on 12 targets for 102 yards across the final three games.

Troy Franklin Over 19.5 receiving yards (-114)

This is the lowest receiving yards total since Week 1 of the season for Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin, and he’s recorded 19 or more receiving yards in 13 of 17 games, including eight of nine at home.

Again, the Bills have been stingy against the pass, but Franklin had a high-end 13.0 aDoT and 52.9 contested catch percentage, and he accounted for a healthy 29.7% of Denver’s air yards.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
