Bills vs. The Colts will kick off the 2021 NFL playoff action in an expanded wild-card round.
Buffalo (13-3) host Indianapolis (11-5) in the Bills’ first home playoff game in a quarter century. It will air on CBS at 1:05 pm ET on Saturday, January 9, but it will also be the first game of the year that Buffalo will allow fans to enter Bills Stadium. About 6,700 people are expected to attend.
The Bills enter the game as perhaps the most popular team in soccer. His only loss in his last 10 games came in the miraculous “Hail Murray” play against the Cardinals. Josh Allen made a late MVP charge, and while he will likely lose to Aaron Rodgers, he has proven to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL alongside star wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
BILLS vs COLTS PICKS:
Against the spread | Direct predictions
Allen’s opponent will be a strong Colts defense centered on standout linebacker Darius Leonard. But if Indianapolis wants to win on Saturday, it will probably need a big day from Philip Rivers and / or Jonathan Taylor. The veteran quarterback has played great football since joining the Colts on a one-year contract, while Wisconsin rookie running back Taylor has dominated the final stretch of the season.
It’s expected to be a cold day in Buffalo on Saturday, which will test both quarterbacks in classic playoff conditions in Western New York. Between that and the presence of the Bills Mafia, it will certainly feel like a hometown advantage for the Bills.

Bills vs. Colts
- Date: Saturday, January 9
- Start time: 1:05 pm ET
Although it’s Saturday, the 1:05 p.m. ET kickoff is essentially when most teams start their games each weekend. Buffalo had a primetime kick at the end of the season, so it will actually be one of the few starts at 1:05 p.m. ET for the Bills since early December.
This will be the first of six wild-card playoff games to open the NFL playoffs. Since the playoffs expanded to 14 teams for this season, 12 have to play in the first round, resulting in six wild card games.
