You choose to bet on KC based on the historical data, I can’t argue with the logic. The Chiefs have reached five straight AFC Championship Games – while Josh Allen has taken this Bills team past the Divisional Round just one time in his career and has never been able to get over the hump against KC in the playoffs. But based on what we’ve seen from these two teams this season, the Chiefs should not win this game. This Bills team won’t get a better opportunity to knock off KC in the playoffs. Travis Kelce has taken a huge step back since falling in love with Taylor Swift. Their top WR is a second-round rookie out of SMU. And Patrick Mahomes is playing his first true road playoff game after years of dominating the postseason at Arrowhead.
I know, It isn’t wise to bet against Mahomes in the playoffs, or as an underdog for that matter. But the current iteration of the Chiefs seems very different from the team we’ve seen in years past, and I truly believe they need to go back to the drawing board for their offensive roster construction this offseason – reshaping around Mahomes, obviously.

It’s only a matter of time before KC revamps its offense with a few more weapons for Mahomes, and the Chiefs permanently return to their elite level of play on the offensive side of the ball. The way I see it, it’s now or never for the Bills.
