Roundtable's Marc Cherabie goes position-by-position to see which team has the advantage in Saturday's Buffalo Bills vs. Denver Broncos Divisional Round matchup.
Ahead of the NFL Divisional Round, Roundtable's Marc Cherabie ranks the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos' positional advantages.
The first spin on the wheel was head coach, and Marc gives Denver's Sean Peyton the advantage. Marc acknowledges that there is immense pressure on Buffalo's Sean McDermott to advance to the Super Bowl, possibly with his career on the line. The Bills have yet to advance to the Super Bowl with quarterback Josh Allen leading the team, and in a year with no Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow, McDermott needs to get it done.
On the second spin, the wheel lands on linebacker, which Marc gives the nod to the Bills. Denver's linebacker group is still strong, led by its big free agency addition Dre Greenlaw, but Buffalo's crew has the edge.
The third spin lands on special teams, and Marc actually decides that it's a wash between both Buffalo and Denver.
Next up is the debate between secondaries; the Bills have Tre'Davious White, Christian Benford, Taron Johnson, Jordan Poyer (who is out this week) and Cole Bishop, who Marc had very high praise for. There's also Cam Lewis and Jordan Handcock who have the ability to step up.
For Denver, the organization has the best cornerback in the NFL in Patrick Surtain II, along with Riley Moss, who is the most targeted cornerback in the league, Jahdae Baron and Ja'Quan McMillian. At the end of the day, Marc gives the advantage to Denver, which is understandable when a player like Surtain II is on the roster.
For the Quarterback comparison, you'll need to listen to the podcast to hear who Marc chooses as the best in this game.
Comparing the offensive lines, both teams have immense talent across the line. However, Marc ultimately lands on Buffalo, having the better of the two, but admits that it will be an impressive showing for both teams' O-Lines.
On the other side of the ball, the defensive linemen's advantage goes to the Broncos, which Marc promptly admits he is ranking each position with no bias.
To hear who Marc gives the advantage to for runningback, tight end, pass rush and wide receiver, be sure to listen to the podcast in full.
