Jon Hoefling: Kansas City Chiefs (-1.5)
It’s easy to look at Buffalo’s huge win over Carolina and think they’re back to elite territory. I’ve still got my doubts. The Bills were able to crowd the box all day against Andy Dalton. They won’t have that luxury against Patrick Mahomes. This weekend, the Bills’ atrocious run defense should once again rear its ugly head.
Jordan Mendoza: Buffalo Bills (+1.5)
The matchup that always delivers. Kansas City has been red-hot but Josh Allen and the Bills are just as good. You could go either way, but expect can incredible atmosphere in Buffalo.
Tyler Dragon: Kansas City Chiefs (-1.5)
The game of Week 9. I can’t wait for this one. Patrick Mahomes is 5-4 versus the Bills, including in the playoffs. But he’s 1-4 against Buffalo in the regular season.
Christopher Bumbaca: Kansas City Chiefs (-1.5)
The Chiefs simply have a better roster than the Bills, and this game should bear that out. Patrick Mahomes vs. Josh Allen is always cinema. Playoff seeding on the line.
Lorenzo Reyes: Kansas City Chiefs (-1.5)
This is, as always, a fascinating matchup, and the Bills made it more interesting by returning to form. It was against the Panthers, but Buffalo’s offense looked crisp. The Chiefs, however, are playing like the veteran and championship-caliber team that they have been for a while. Rashee Rice’s return has made all the difference.
Blake Schuster: Buffalo Bills (+1.5)
The Chiefs don’t beat the Bills until the playoffs. Everyone knows the rules.
