FanSided: Take the Chiefs to beat the Bills in AFC Divisional Round
Joe Summers writes: "Buffalo has looked excellent the last two months, rising from a 6-6 start to secure the No. 2 seed in the AFC. The Bills beat the Chiefs earlier this season, though Kansas City was without Isiah Pacheco and Drue Tranquill, two of the most important players on the roster. Of course, the Chiefs were one Kadarius Toney offsides penalty away from a victory, and I've got confidence in Mahomes as an underdog. If you prefer a bet on the total, the under is 5-2 in the Chiefs' last seven games as underdogs and this looks like the league's best defense. It'll be a fun one, but I'm backing Kansas City to come out on top."

Bookies.com: Bet the Chiefs with the points vs. Bills on Sunday
Bill Speros writes: "Buffalo dominated Pittsburgh Monday 31-17 at home in a game that was delayed a day by a snowstorm. The Chiefs froze out the Dolphins in Kansas City on Saturday. A two-day disparity in time off might be an issue here in terms of getting players fully healed. One would imagine Andy Reid’s been game-planning for the Bills in the postseason since last year. This is the first time QB Patrick Mahomes will be playing an AFC playoff game on the road. Both teams are used to the cold. There won’t be any blizzards this weekend in Orchard Park. The Swifties have been winning all season with its defense. The Bills have shown themselves to be content with running the ball and controlling clock. The Chiefs cover on the road – having done so 9 straight times against AFC opponents. And they’ve won their past four games outright as underdogs. We’d lean on the under, but not at this number. Perhaps 13 seconds will be a bit shorter in New York."
