He’s only been an underdog 8 times in his career, and this will be the first time at Arrowhead. His career numbers:
  • 6-2 SU
  • 7-0-1 ATS
  • 326.6 ypg
  • 28 TD, 8 INT
  • 116.2 rating

I love Buffalo here. We all saw Mahomes in the SB and vs. the Raiders last week in the first half. If he gets pressured up the middle and can't roll out, he's not that good. If Mahomes gets time and rolls out, he's one of the best.

Buffalo will score points. The whole game is dependent on the Bills pass rush bringing 4.

In 2018 and 2019, teams blitzed Mahomes too much, he was able to roll out and find Hill and Kelce. There were a lot of big time plays. In 2021, teams started figuring out how to play him. Didn't blitz and tried to stop him throwing over the top. Now he's without Hill.

If Buffalo wins this one even semi-convincingly then the hype train is gonna be out of control

They are for real. Best team in the league by a long ways and have depth. They've been playing though injuries. Now KC is banged up. They may have a few starters OUT. Not sure on how many yet.

KC could be the second best team in the league and Buffalo being favored says a lot.

The C and G's on KC are great but the T's can be beat. See first half vs. Raiders. Von Miller could have a huge game.

I think when they're at their very best, Buffalo is the best team. But they seem to be too unreliable and inconsistent.

They also tend to fall into these patterns of relying too much on Allen when they can't get their backs going. Their offense is way easier to stop when guys like Singletary are bottled up. They can get away with it sometimes, but a lot of times you seen Allen falter in the second half when he is being overused.

I also think the one huge advantage KC has is coaching, especially in closer games. Bills really struggle in those scenarios.


I don't know about this game in particular. If this was a playoff game, I would take the Chiefs

I think so, depending on seeding lays out . Solid chance they are 1 and 2 though.

I would love to see an AFC title game in Orchard Park personally. Went to Arrowhead for it last year and it was pretty awesome as well

I'm pounding Buffalo

This is the first year Mahomes is playing under his new contract. His salary cap hit for the Chiefs increased 30 million dollars, hence they have 30 million less to spend everywhere else. Probably the single biggest reason Hill is swimming with the fishes. KC is not the same team

The Bills go through this next year

KC is better than they were last year in a lot of ways

Hill was a nice play making threat but honestly he wasn’t that productive last couple years. Miami over paid him, and unfortunately he is gonna suffer there due to a lack of a good QB

Bills still have shown they are a bit inconsistent and rely too much on Allen. Think it gets them in the end

I'm on the other side of this one too. Hill had the most receptions in his career in 2021 with 111. This year Hill is tied for first in the league in 20+ and 40+ yd catches. Tua's now one of the best QBs in the league and that change is all because of Hill.
