Chiefs vs Bills Prediction
This week’s Kansas City Chiefs vs Buffalo Bills prediction has the Chiefs migrating to Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, to take on the Bills at home.
It seems like only yesterday the Chiefs and Bills played each other; in their last meeting on December 10, 2023, the Bills beat the Chiefs 20-17 in one of the best games this season.
For a finals game the statistics couldn’t be much closer, and while the Bills do lead in rushing yards and total points scored there are no other clear indicators on how this game might play out.
Both teams are in fine form with the Bills beating the Steelers last week 31-17, and the Chiefs beating the Dolphins 26-7, both teams finished the season on 11 wins – 6 losses.
If we had to pick, we think the Chiefs will scrape through the win; however, this game really can go either way.
