Here We Go Again, Chiefs vs Bills

In recent years it seems a right a passage that football fans will see the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Buffalo Bills in the postseason. It's just not the fans that enjoy these games as the networks and the NFL love it just as much. This is because these two teams are what is good about the NFL and the game of football.

Both teams have passionate fan bases from mid-market cities with face of the franchise's leading them at quarterback. Each has great complimentary players and highly respected head coaches and when they face off, you never know who will win and what to expect.

The latest rendition of the rivalry takes place this Sunday in Kansas City, and once again for the right to go to the Super Bowl. Since 2020, these two powerhouses have met eight times with each winning four games against each other. The difference is, when it counts the most, it has been the Chiefs who have been kings.

The defending back-to-back champs are seeking a third straight Super Bowl title while the Bills are still looking for their first. Buffalo has been unable to get past Kansas City in the playoffs. In 2020, the Chiefs won 38-34. The following year was an 42-36 overtime thriller while last year saw the champs prevail 27-24.

It's not that Kansas City has been dominant. In all of those games, the Chiefs had to come from behind while the games have been extremely close throughout. Buffalo has had their share of wins; however, they have all been in the regular season. The Bills have won the past four in-season matchups including this season, 30-21 in Buffalo.

Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen are undoubtably the best quarterbacks in the game. Not just for their talent but how they conduct themselves and how they perform in the biggest of games. This Sunday should be no different.

Its hard to handicap this contest as both are hungry for different reasons. The Chiefs are in the midst of a dynasty going for a three-peat while the Bills desperately want to shed that label of being Super Bowl winless.

Kansas City has the best record in the league at 16-2 but have underperformed in the terms of being overly dominant. Of the Chiefs 16 wins, 11 have been one-score games while they have covered the point spread in only half of their contests.

The countdown in on until Sunday to see how the latest rendition plays out. Here is the schedule for the Conference Championship Games:

Sunday, January 19th

NFC Championship Game, 12:00 pm - Washington at Philadelphia -5.5

AFC Championship Game, 3:30pm - Buffalo at Kansas City -2
