Bills/Chiefs Score Predictions Thread

[Like A Mofo]

Buffalo 31

Kansas City 27

 

Key as was last year is the red zone offense/defense, win that battle, win this game.

I am mildly concerned about this as well. Games like this are when Daboll tries to pull out all the stops and it gets the offense out of rhythm. I think this is the week we finally see McKenzie jet sweeps again and I bet we target Spencer Brown on a pass in the end zone. I'm okay with some variation. I just hope we don't try playing an entirely different style of offense.

I’d like to see a fake punt, myself...

Bills haven't beaten a decent QB yet. If Milano, Poyer, and Johnson are not 100% I can't see keeping them from scoring less than 4 TDs. 

Best chance Bills have is a strong running game.

McD has not been able to figure out Reid. KC has beaten us with a run oriented attack and then with the pass in two seperate games last year.

If they had beaten the Steelers I would have taken the Bills in a tight game. 

Unfortunately I think the o-line is still a work in progress and the defense is a product of the competition.

Truly hope I am wrong. Didn't think Bills would win in Dallas on Thanksgiving and they did. Bills can beat KC but I think it will be in Jan in Buffalo

KC 31 Buffalo 17

Maybe it’s PTSD from AFCCG but I don’t think the Bills have an answer for Mahomes, Hill, or Kelce.  
 

Chiefs 35

Bills 24

[The Red King]

Bills 41

Chiefs 17

 

...I know, I know, but it's a gut feeling.  I think Allen and the 'O' shred the KC 'D' that has looked mighty sus, and the Buffalo 'D' swarms like fire ants and forces the big M into making mistakes, which he seems more prone to do as of late.

[Billznut]

KC     31

 

Buf    24

 

 

The Bills go toe to toe with KC all night. Both teams are able to make some defensive stops and 1 turnover for each side. Just comes down to KC having the ball late and the Bills unable to stop them when needed. 

[Mat68]

38 to 26 Buffalo.  Allen gets hot.  Mahomes gets impatient and throws Buffalo the ball.  Im feeling better about the game by the day.  I feel like this game will be very similar to Seattle last year.

[Governor]

41 - 27 Bills in a whoopin.

[Bob in STL]

I think we can beat them.  I feel some really good vibes from this group.  If we only win one of the next two I really want it to be against KC.  It sets us up well in the standings, two games up on them and we have the tie breaker.  Let’s dig deeper on Sunday and mount a victory.

KC 31 Buffalo 17

if the Bills lose Sunday I don't think the road to the SB goes through WNY.....

[billsherd]

Unfortunately 30-24 Chiefs.

[InEnemyTerritory]

Mahomes's Chiefs are 1-9 when the opponent scores 35, 7-10 when the opponent scores 30.  With a defense like ours I'll take those odds, especially with the horrendous defensive showings so far by KC.  My head is telling me BUF wins, my heart says KC wins.  I'll go with my head and say 35-34 (or thereabouts) in favor of the Bills.

Bills schedule is far easier than the Chiefs.

Bills 37 - 20.  Get on top and the D turns the screws.

Chiefs - 31

Bills - 16

 

Unfortunately I think the red zone issues will result in three FG's for the Bills.  While the defense has been fantastic, they've faced three back up QB's.  The team hasn't beaten a good team yet - their opponents so far are 5 - 11.   I Think KC wants to prove that they're back, particularly on prime time.  

 

If McD kicks 3 field goals in this game, he deserves all the backlash he gets.

 

You can NOT beat KC with field goals. 

 

The Chargers even went for 4th and 9 instead of kicking a field goal.

[BigBuff423]

Bills      30

Chiefs  24

 

CEH fumble for Bills to take ball with over 2:00 left and they run out the clock.

Bills 30

I agree but its also situational.  Chargers also kicked a field goal on 4th and goal from the 6 after having basically 6 shots between there and the 1 yard line. They went for it on 4th and 9 while it was a tie game with 48 seconds left.  They honestly could have just run the ball and ran out the clock and kicked a field goal I think.

 

The Bills need to score TDs for sure but McD cant just willy nilly go for it on every 4th down.
