The field of AFC playoff contenders has been narrowed down to the top two teams by record: the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.
Here are our early predictions for the AFC Championship Game.
Chiefs vs. Bills Predictions
The Bills impressed in the wild card and divisional rounds, but in their loss to the Baltimore Ravens, which earned them entry into this week’s AFC Championship Game, they made mistakes that could be costly if repeated against the Chiefs.
In comparison, Kansas City cruised through the divisional round, beating the Houston Texans without doing anything surprising offensively. That means the Chiefs should have some plays in store for this week that their opposition hasn’t yet studied.
Final score: Chiefs 27, Bills 20
Chiefs vs. Bills history, last five games
The Chiefs are 2-3 against the Bills in their last five games. What’s important to note is that while Kansas City hasn’t fared as well in regular season appearances against Buffalo, they are undefeated against the Bills in recent playoffs. Under Josh Allen’s tenure as Buffalo’s quarterback, the Bills are 0-3 against the Chiefs in the playoffs.
When will the Chiefs face the Bills in the NFL playoffs?
