The Buffalo Bills will enter the NFL playoffs as one of the hottest teams in the league. 

Buffalo ended the regular season on a five game winning streak that included three wins against playoff teams with two of those teams being division winners (the Kansas City Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys). 

As a result of the Bills' win against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night, Buffalo is the No. 2 seed in the AFC. Which means they can host at least two playoff games (if they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round, they'll host a divisional round playoff game). 

The Bills are hot at the right time. And at least one anonymous NFL GM thinks Buffalo is the team that will be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in February. 

“When you’ve had struggles during the year and overcome them the way they have, it really hardens you for the playoffs,” said an anonymous GM to The Athletic. “Now that Buffalo can run it a little bit, it takes a little stress off Josh (Allen). If I have to make a pick (for the Super Bowl) right now, I’m picking Buffalo.”

The Bills are playing well right now, but if they're going to get past the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs, they'll need quarterback Josh Allen to cut down on the turnovers. You can't turn the ball over three times and beat the Ravens in the playoffs. 

If Buffalo plays Baltimore in the playoffs, it won't happen until the AFC Championship game.
