We're locked and loaded for Championship Sunday! Let's take a look at the Bills at Chiefs IV.
Let's goooooo!

Game 2:
Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs
Sunday, JAN-26 6:30PM ET
BUF +2 O/U 49 KC -2
KANSAS CITY, MO - Here we are set for Allen vs Mahomes IV! Back at the ol' GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. We're going to be in for another great showdown between these two QBs. Like the early game it feels like these two are in the same division and play each other all the time. Both QBs are going to put their team on their back and the game will not be lost due to one of the QBs.
Josh Allen is the guy! By our eye test he is the MVP this year. When these two played Week 11, Allenthre 40 passes completing 27 for 262 yards and 1 TD and 1 INT. He did a lot in that game with his legs. If you go back and watch his final TD run you can see the determination and that has carried the Bills through the season. We like Allen to throw today likely 40 times.

The rushing game from Cook has been steady on the road and it's a great compliment to Allen's legs. Allen carried the ball 12 times for 55 yards against the Chiefs in Week 11. This was in a win and was at home in Buffalo. I think his legs will be a big part of the game plan regardless what the flow of the game is. I also expect Cook to have a decent to great day. This is despite his performance in Week 11. He only toted the rock 9 times for 20 yards... buttttt he did run in 2 TDs. I have a few thoughts on Player Props check Our Projections for what is going on our card.

Kansas City's Pass Offense hasn't been the juggernaut we had been accustom to seeing in years past. The Week 11 match up between these two Mahomes had an interesting day. He was 23-33 for 196 yards 3 TDs and 2 INTs, they lost! If Mahomes holds on to the ball and doesn't turn it over the Chiefs can play their ball and likely win. Look for Kelce to be the guy he has always been, look for some potential shots down field for big plays or, watch for some short in routes taken to the house! Check what we think Pat will do and who he is throwing it to.

It is the question of the day in this game. Which back is going to get the bulk of the load? Pacheco has loved this match up over the years and I think we are going to back him ad his over rushing yards. Again, we have to look at Mahomes to use his legs, look for flags and gain crucial first downs.
