The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs are going to be playing in a rarity type of game.
According to For The Win, during quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs career, it’s only going to be the 11th time he’s an underdog. A big reason for that: It’s the first time Mahomes is playing on the road in the postseason.
Per BetMGM, the Bills are a three-point favorite over the Chiefs ahead of the Divisional round.
Earlier this season, Buffalo and Kansas City faced off and the contest was played in KC. In a similar manner, the home team was a slight favorite by 2.5 points.
In the regular season, both the Bills and Chiefs held 11-6 records. Buffalo is the home team in the Divisional round thanks to a 20-17 win when the two sides faced off in Week 14.
However, in terms of the spread, that was a rarity for the Bills. Despite their overall record, Buffalo is only 7-9-1 against the spread this year meaning they covered against Kansas City.
Likewise, the Chiefs have a worse ATS record than their overall one, but at least it’s a winning one at 9-8 overall.
One area that might be easy to stay away from: Total points.
This one opens at 45.5. Buffalo is 6-11 against the points this season and Kansas City is worse at 5-12.
The moneyline sits at Bills (-145) and Chiefs (+120).
