The Bills ended the regular season with a 13-4 record to romp to the AFC East title, with Denver 10-7 - finishing third in the AFC West, so it's no surprise that the hosts have been installed as the odds-on favourites to prevail this weekend.
Few had expected the Broncos to secure a playoff berth this season, whilst there was even scepticism about Buffalo's credentials too.
This is the first time in a decade that Denver have advanced through to the playoffs, and they largely have their watertight defence as well as rookie quarterback Bo Nix to thank for that.
Buffalo Bills injury report is pretty exhaustive, although the vast majority of their injury concerns surround players who were able to fully participate in training in mid-week.
Cornerback Ja'Marcus Ingram and return specialist Brandon Codrington have missed practise this past week, but both are hoping to be available for the game.
Denver's first playoff appearance since 2016 has been made all the sweeter by the fact that they are currently carrying a relatively fully fit squad.
The only player of note to be carrying any form of issue in the build-up to Sunday's clash is cornerback Damaari Mathis, who has been nursing a minor back issue.
