AFC Championship Game: Kansas City Chiefs home favorites vs. Buffalo Bills

The Kansas City Chiefs are the betting favorites in their AFC Championship home game against the Buffalo Bills.

The top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) host the Buffalo Bills (14-3) in the AFC Championship Game Sunday at 6:40 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Bills-Chiefs betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Bills, the AFC’s No. 2 seed, ended a 26-year drought in reaching their first AFC title game since the 1993-94 season. They advanced behind a 17-3 victory over the visiting Baltimore Ravens as 2.5-point favorites Saturday. With Baltimore facing third-and-goal at the Bills’ 9-yard line late in the third quarter and looking to tie things up, Buffalo CB Taron Johnson intercepted a Lamar Jackson pass and returned it 101 yards for a touchdown and an eventual 17-3 lead. The Bills defense kept the Ravens out of the end zone and limited the NFL’s top running offense to 150 yards – Baltimore entered averaging a league-best 191.9 rushing yards per game. The victory was the eighth in a row for the Bills, who covered the spread for the ninth time in their last 10 games. They didn’t cover as 7-point home favorites in a 27-24 Divisional Round win vs. the Indianapolis Colts after running off 8 consecutive covers.

The Chiefs will play in their third consecutive AFC title game. The defending Super Bowl champions punched their ticket with a 22-17 home win vs. the Cleveland Browns Sunday but failed to cover as 8.5-point favorites. The big news was QB Patrick Mahomes exiting with a concussion in the third quarter and Kansas City ahead 19-10. Backup Chad Henne entered, completed 6 of 8 passes for 66 yards with one interception and helped the Chiefs hold off the Browns for the W. The 11-year veteran inserted himself into Chiefs lore with back-to-back plays right after the 2-minute warning. He scrambled for a 13-yard gain on a third-and-14 play and followed with a 5-yard pass to WR Tyreek Hill on head coach Andy Reid’s gutsy fourth-and-1 call at the KC 48-yard line. That allowed the Chiefs to run out the clock. Mahomes, who threw for 255 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added a rushing TD, will likely be OK by next week, but it’s something to keep an eye on.

Kansas City and Buffalo have met twice before in the AFC Championship. The Bills won 30-13 in 1994 and the Chiefs claimed a 31-7 victory in 1967. Buffalo is 2-1 all-time vs. Kansas City in the postseason – the Bills were the home team in all three games.

They faced off once this season with Kansas City winning at Buffalo 26-17 in Week 6 as a 5.5-point favorite – the game finished well Under the O/U of 55. The Chiefs are 4-1 vs. the Bills in their last five meetings, dating back to Nov. 3, 2013.

NFL Divisional Round: Kansas City Chiefs decisive home favorites vs. Cleveland Browns

The Kansas City Chiefs are the betting favorites in their NFL Divisional Round home game against the Cleveland Browns.

The Cleveland Browns (12-5) travel to meet the Kansas City Chiefs (14-2) Sunday in an AFC Divisional Round matchup at 3:05 p.m. ET at Arrowhead Stadium. Below, we take a look at the early Browns-Chiefs betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

As the No. 7 seed, the Browns went on the road and knocked off the second-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers 48-37 Sunday in a Wild Card bout Sunday. Cleveland led wire to wire, scoring a defensive touchdown on the Pittsburgh’s first play from scrimmage en route to a 28-0 advantage after one quarter. Things got a little hairy in the second half, as the Steelers closed it to a two-score game (35-23) late in the third quarter, but the Browns were able to hang on to claim the franchise’s first playoff victory since 1994. In addition, it was the most points ever scored against the Steelers in a postseason game. Cleveland also made NFL history as 28 points was the most ever scored in the opening quarter of a playoff game. The Browns advance with a lot of confidence and a stout run game, which will be the focal point of the Kansas City defense. Former Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt will return to K.C. for the first time since he was unceremoniously dumped by the team following an off-field altercation, so he’ll likely have revenge on his mind. He scored both of Cleveland’s rushing touchdowns in Pittsburgh Sunday.

The Chiefs are well rested. The defending Super Bowl champs sewed up the top seed in the AFC after Week 16. They were able to rest key personnel, including QB Patrick Mahomes and WR Tyreek Hill, in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers. They used mostly reserves to close out the regular season and were manhandled by the Chargers 38-21, but that loss won’t be remembered. The Chiefs enter this one with a 10-4 ATS mark in their past 14 against winning teams, 4-1 ATS in the past five playoff games, and 4-1 ATS in the previous five postseason contests at Arrowhead. However, while they opened as a 10-point favorite against the upstart Browns, remember that Kansas City covered just one of the final eight games this season, and they closed the regular season on an 0-4 ATS skid at home.

Los Angeles Chargers road favorites at Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17

The Los Angeles Chargers are the betting favorites in their Week 17 road game at the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs (14-1), who are already locked into the AFC’s No. 1 seed, host the Los Angeles Chargers (6-9) Sunday of Week 17 at 4:25 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the early Chargers-Chiefs Week 17 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Chargers defeated the Denver Broncos 19-16 in Week 16. Michael Badgley’s fourth field goal of the game with 41 seconds remaining lifted San Diego to its third straight victory. All three of those wins have been by 3-point margins. Prior to the streak, the Chargers had been 1-5 in games decided by 5 points-or-less. Against Denver, San Diego was a plus-2 in turnover margin, and it won despite being outgained by 80 yards (396-316) and lost the first-down battle 23-16.

The Chiefs rallied for yet another come-from-behind victory in a close game as they downed the Atlanta Falcons 17-14 in Week 16. QB Patrick Mahomes’ 25-yard TD pass to WR Demarcus Robinson with 1:55 remaining sealed the Kansas City victory. The Chiefs earned similar come-from-behind wins in Weeks 11 and 13. Kansas City has won 10 consecutive games with each of the last seven decided by 6 points or less. In Week 2, the Chiefs rallied from a 17-6 third-qaurter deficit to beat the Chargers 23-20 in overtime.

Kansas City Chiefs big home favorites vs. Atlanta Falcons in Week 16

The Kansas City Chiefs are the betting favorites in their Week 16 home game vs. the Atlanta Falcons.

The AFC-leading Kansas City Chiefs (13-1) will host the Atlanta Falcons (4-10) Sunday of Week 16 for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.  Below, we take a look at the early Chiefs-Falcons betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Falcons are coming off a disappointing 31-27 home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15. Atlanta led 24-7 with 7:34 remaining in the third quarter but was outscored 24-3 the rest of the way. The Falcons have dropped their last three games by a combined 12 points, eliminating them from playoff contention. They rank fourth in passing yards (273.4 yards per game) and 15th in scoring (25.4 points per game), but the defense has been a major weak spot – 31st in passing (287.7 YPG) and 28th in total yards allowed (392.4 YPG).

The Chiefs have been rolling all season, winning their last nine games after suffering their only loss in Week 5 at home to the Las Vegas Raiders 40-32. In Week 15, QB Patrick Mahomes threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns in a 32-29 victory at the New Orleans Saints, concluding their regular season with a perfect 8-0 record. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire injured his hip and ankle in the fourth quarter. Early reports claim he’ll miss the remainder of the regular season. Kansas City has scored at least 22 points in every game, topping 30 points nine times. The Chiefs rank second in points (31.1 PPG), first in total yards (427.9 YPG) and first in passing yards (311.4 YPG).

The Chiefs are coming off another close win.

Mahomes had two touchdown passes and Mecole Hardman had a 67-yard punt return for a touchdown.

The Saints had a four-game winning streak ended Sunday afternoon in a 24-21 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia gave QB Jalen Hurts his first NFL start and he had 167 passing yards and a score, along with 106 rushing yards.

The Chiefs rallied from a late-third-quarter deficit to defeat the Denver Broncos 22-16 Sunday. Kansas City got a touchdown pass from QB Patrick Mahomes late in the third quarter and a fourth-quarter field goal from PK Harrison Butker (with 1:04 remaining in the game) to close out the scoring in the contest. Butker split the uprights five times in the victory.

The Dolphins will be playing the middle game of three in a row on their South Florida home turf. Miami defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 19-7 Sunday to kick off a home stretch slated to conclude Dec. 20 against the New England Patriots. The Dolphins head into their game against the Chiefs having won two in a row, allowing all of 10 points in the process. Since Week 4, Miami is 7-1.

Denver Broncos huge SNF road underdogs at Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13

The Denver Broncos are betting underdogs in their Week 13 Sunday Night Football road game at the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Denver Broncos (4-7) visit the Kansas City Chiefs (10-1) in the Week 13 Sunday Night Football game at 8:20 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Broncos (+17) completed just one pass in a 31-3 loss to the visiting New Orleans Saints in Week 12. The day before kickoff, the NFL ruled starting QB Drew Lock and backups Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles ineligible as high-risk contacts of No. 3 QB Jeff Driskel, who tested positive for COVID-19 Thursday. The league denied Denver’s request to move the game, so the Broncos called up rookie WR Kendall Hinton from the practice squad to make the spot start at quarterback. Hilton, who played QB at Wake Forest his first three seasons before being moved to WR, completed just 1 of 9 passes for 13 yards with 2 interceptions vs. the Saints.

The Chiefs (-3.5) ran their win streak to six with a 27-24 victory at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12. QB Patrick Mahomes threw for 462 yards with 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. All 3 TD passes were to WR Tyreek Hill (13 catches, 269 yards), who scored on receptions of 75, 44 and 20 yards. KC led 17-0 after one quarter, 20-7 at the half and 27-10 after three before Tampa Bay cut the deficit to 27-24 with 4:10 to go. The Chiefs – who improved to 6-0 on the road this season and 9-0 dating back to last year – were able to run out the clock as the Bucs never got the ball back. Kansas City has won its last 10 vs. Denver, which last won in the series in 2015.

Kansas City Chiefs favored on the road at Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12

The Kansas City Chiefs are the betting favorites in their Week 12 road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-4) Sunday in Week 12 at 4:25 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the early Chiefs-Buccaneers betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Chiefs avenged their only loss of the season with a 35-31 victory at the Las Vegas Raiders in the Week 11 Sunday Night Football game. QB Patrick Mahomes’ 22-yard touchdown pass to TE Travis Kelce with 28 seconds won it – but the Chiefs failed to cover as 8-point favorites in winning their fifth game in a row. The reigning Super Bowl MVP finished with 348 passing yards, 2 TDs and 1 interception. His top targets were Kelce (8 receptions, 127 yards, 1 TD) and WR Tyreek Hill (11 catches, 102 yards, 1 TD), while rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (69 yards, 14 carries) ran for 2 TDs and RB Le’Veon Bell (25 yards, 7 carries) scored his first rushing touchdown with KC.

The Buccaneers lost 27-24 to the visiting Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football as 4-point favorites, falling to 1-3 in primetime games this season. QB Tom Brady (216 passing yards with 2 TDs and 2 picks) was outdone by Rams QB Jared Goff, who threw for 376 yards and 3 TDs with 2 interceptions. WRs Chris Godwin (7 catches, 53 yards) and Mike Evans (5 catches, 49 yards) scored a TD apiece for the Bucs, while Antonio Brown caught a team-high 8 passes for 57 yards. Godwin’s TD, a 13-yarder, tied it at 24-all with 3:53 to go, but the Rams kicked a 40-yard field goal with 2:36 remaining. Brady’s second interception, a long pass from the Bucs’ 38-yard line with 1:56 left sealed the defeat.
