Who will WIN this matchup?

Buffalo Bills (11-6)

@ Kansas City Chiefs (12-5)

 

Current odds:

Buffalo Bills: (+105)

Kansas City Chiefs: (-125)

 

• The spread for the game is Kansas City by 1.5 points.

• RB Devin Singletary was an afterthought the first 12 games of the season with just 495 yards and two touchdowns; that included 25 yards rushing in a 38-20 win in Kansas City. But in the past six games, Singletary has combined for 456 yards and seven TDs, including one score through the air. TE Travis Kelce dealt with COVID-19 late in the season, but it hardly hampered him against the Steelers last week. He had five catches for 108 yards and a touchdown while also throwing a TD pass on a trick play.

• Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will face the league’s No. 1 pass defense and overall defense, one week after he was 30 of 39 for 404 yards and five TDs against the Steelers. He became the first player in NFL history with at least 400 yards passing, five TDs and fewer than 10 incompletions in a postseason game. Mahomes was 33 of 54 for 272 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in a loss to Buffalo in October.

• The Bills and Chiefs have split four previous playoff meetings with Kansas City winning last year’s AFC title game 38-24. Buffalo beat the Chiefs 38-20 when the teams met in October. The franchises date back to the AFL, in which the Chiefs won the only playoff meeting.

• QB Josh Allen’s five TDs passing against New England set a Bills playoff record. By completing 21 of 25 attempts for 308 yards, Allen finished with a 157.6 passer rating, the second best in an NFL playoff game behind Peyton Manning’s 158.3 in the Colts’ 41-10 win over Denver in a wild-card game in 2004.
