The first of six NFL Wild Card Weekend games pits the Indianapolis Colts (11-5) at the Buffalo Bills (13-3) Saturday in an AFC Wild Card matchup. Kickoff is at 1:05 p.m. ET at Bills Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. Below, we take a look at the early Colts-Bills betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Colts needed a win in Week 17 and a loss from either the Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans or Cleveland Browns to make the postseason. The Colts picked up a 28-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Dolphins lost, so the Colts qualified as the AFC’s No. 7 seed. Rookie RB Jonathan Taylor was the star Sunday, rushing for 253 yards and two touchdowns vs. the Jaguars.
The Bills aided the Colts, defeating the Dolphins 56-26 for their 13th win of the season. QB Josh Allen threw three touchdown passes and the defense intercepted Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa three times.
