Bills vs Chiefs Prediction

The current betting odds have the Chiefs listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Chiefs have looked good this season with their 8-4 record overall but lately they haven't been at their best in their games. They just lost another game on the road last week in prime time against the Packers but they will be looking to bounce back now that they are back at home. The Bills haven't looked too good this season with their 6-6 record overall and right now they are struggling to get into the Wild Card. They have looked terrible in their road games all season with their 1-4 road record and also lost their only game at a neutral site. They are coming off their bye week and looked a lot better in their loss to the Eagles in their last game, but this is just as big a game for the Chiefs at home as it is for the Bills. The Bills need to make a run to make the playoffs but the Chiefs also already have 4 losses this season and that puts them out of the number 1 seed right now. The Chiefs are going to be in the same mindset as the Bills with this being a must win game and they have the home advantage here too. The Chiefs need to win this game at home for the number 1 seed race in the AFC and they will also be motivated to bounce back after the way they lost to the Packers in prime time. The best way to place a bet here is on the Chiefs to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


“They're defending NFC champs for a reason. They made plays tonight and they made enough to win the game.” - Josh Allen after their loss against the Eagles in their last game. 


“The Packers I thought did a great job tonight. They got after us, and it’s a good football team. We’ve got to be able to start faster on both sides of the ball. We’ve got to make sure we take care of that. Whether it was the penalties on offense or whether we weren’t getting off the field on the defensive side, those are things that cost us. We’ve got to learn from that and get better as we go forward.” - Andy Reid after his team’s loss against the Packers in their last game.
