The Buffalo Bills have been the favorite Super Bowl team among media and analysts since the start of the season.
In some regular season wins they looked good, but in some losses it was anything but that.

Even so, the talent on their roster shines through, as does quarterback and reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen.
While Allen has returned to some of the undisciplined play that may have earned him the MVP last season, he still possesses the abilities that make him unique and a standout at his position in the current era.
Analyst and former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky has long been a believer in Allen’s potential, pointing out on ESPN first shoot The quarterback has the talent around him to make the big game this week, and people would be wise not to make excuses for him.
The question was raised as to whether Allen has enough help around him to make a Super Bowl run, and here’s Orlovsky’s response.

“Can we stop asking the question? The answer is yes. I love Josh. I support Josh. We have to stop making excuses for him. He’s an incredible player and an MVP winner and could be a dangerous guy in the playoffs.
Well, let’s get down to the reality of who Buffalo is this year… They have a top-five offensive line, they have the best running game in football, and they have one of the best tight end trios in football. They have one of the most dynamic defenders in football. They have a top five defense, and for people who are going to tell me that this defense isn’t top five, you’re not paying attention. This has been a top-five defense since Thanksgiving. The run defense has improved tremendously and some of their young players have made incredible progress. Walker played at a high level, and Sanders played at a high level. This is the best pass coverage unit in football right now.
So, yeah, he doesn’t have a dynamic No. 1 wide receiver. You can prove he doesn’t need it. If Josh Allen is as great as Josh Allen is, he shouldn’t need it; there’s enough to win a Super Bowl this year, absolutely. This is a pretty complete team right now. As long as, let me put it this way, he has Dalton Kincaid. If he has Dalton Kinkaid, there’s plenty of opportunity to win and get to the Super Bowl. Absolutely. “
