The road to Super Bowl LIX is closing in, with the NFL's Divisional Round set to kick off on Saturday, and four games will be played throughout the weekend.

One of the most intriguing matchups is between the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills, which also has the lowest spread of any game, as the Ravens are favored by just one point, according to ESPN BET.

On Friday, during "The Herd," analyst Colin Cowherd previewed all four matchups and boldly predicted that the Buffalo Bills would win the game and the Super Bowl.

"Josh Allen has been great," he said. "I just think…Buffalo wins the Super Bowl, that's my take. I think this is the best version of Josh Allen’s had. I’m gonna take the points and take Buffalo 28 to 24.”

Cowherd's prediction is extremely possible because the Bills played well on both sides of the ball during the regular season, especially the offense.

They wound up ranking second in points per game (30.9). The defense was still respectable, finishing 11th in points per game allowed (21.6).

Quarterback Josh Allen was also impressive in the Bills dominant 31-7 wild-card win over the Denver Broncos, completing 20-of-26 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for an additional 46 yards.

If Cowherd's prediction does come true, this would be the first Super Bowl win in the team's history and their fifth appearance. All four of their previous Super Bowl losses came in a row, capping off every season from 1990 to 1993.
