Are they the best bet in our Bills vs Chiefs picks?
As they face the Kansas City Chiefs (8-4, 7-5 ATS) in their latest season-saving must-win game, at least the Buffalo Bills (6-6, 4-8 ATS) have a key omen in their corner, despite being slight underdogs in the Bills vs Chiefs odds.
During the Patrick Mahomes era as the Chiefs’ QB1, only two QBs have won multiple games in Kansas City. Mahomes, naturally is one of them. The other is Buffalo’s Josh Allen. He’s the only NFL QB to twice beat Mahomes on his home turf.
Oddsmakers, though are putting more stock into Buffalo’s woeful ways so far this season. It’s Kansas City that is set as 1-point home favorites in the Bills vs Chiefs odds. Kansas City is 3-2 against the spread this season as the home chalk.

Mahomes vs Allen the Game Within the Game
The current generation’s version of Peyton Manning vs Tom Brady, it’s Mahomes that has the Super Bowl titles, and is the one with the edge in head-to-head clashes. He’s won three of five against Allen, including two playoff game meetings.

Allen is second in the NFL in interceptions, with 13 on his ledger. He’s been picked off in eight successive games and in 10 of 12 games this season.
That could prove a telling stat. Buffalo is 8-1 (.889) SU when not throwing an interception since the start of the 2022 season. The Chiefs are 17-4 (.810) SU when forcing one or more turnovers over that same time frame.
Josh Allen is a Great QB, turnovers be damned. Period end of story. Only player not named Patrick Mahomes with 100 + total touchdowns since 2021. 2nd in wins and 4th in playoff wins since 2018. Bills are 6-6 but their Championship window isn’t closed as long as they have Allen. pic.twitter.com/7Jt59sLpXD

That number is third-best in NFL. The Bills have turned the ball over 47 times since the beginning of last season. That’s tied for third-most turnovers in the NFL.
As much as the NFL pundits talk ad naseum about Allen’s interception issues, the fact of the matter is that it hasn’t been a banner year when it comes to protecting the ball for Mahomes, either. He’s been picked off 10 times. That’s three shy of his career high of 13 interceptions set in 2021.
Bills vs Chiefs Prediction
Both of these teams come in sputtering. Kansas City has failed to score 20 points twice in the last three games, while surrendering 20 points in all three games. In Buffalo’s six defeats, four times the Bills have coughed up a lead in the fourth quarter or overtime.
Still, it’s Buffalo that must win to keep the postseason a realistic possibility. Will Allen complete the regular-season hat-trick over Mahomes in KC? The Bills are coming off the bye and under head coach Sean McDermott are 6-0 SU following their bye week.
