Bills at Chiefs picks and predictions

Prediction

Bills 24, Chiefs 20

Moneyline

BET BILLS -+100.

The Bills are just 1-3 in their last 4 games, however, they have lost the 3 games by just 11 points combined. Losing in part to a controversial penalty last week against the Eagles, Buffalo has scored 66 total points in its last 2 games.

Kansas City will be without Pacheco, who is averaging 64.9 yards per game and has netted 48 1st downs for the KC offense. The next closest running back is RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire who averages 12.7 yards per game and has netted just 7 1st downs. The loss of Pacheco will be the key in this game resulting in the Chiefs having to rely on their passing game against a difficult Bills defense.

Against the spread

PASS.

The odds are better on the Bills' moneyline.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 48.5 (-110).

While both the Bills and Chiefs have high-powered offenses, they both have great defenses. Both Kansas City and Buffalo have hit the Over in just 2 of their last 8 games.

With Pacheco's absence, the Chiefs will not be able to find as many options to spread their offense limiting the amount of points they will be able to score.

For the Bills, Allen has thrown 13 INTs in 12 games. Any turnovers in this matchup with directly impact the total as both teams are skilled in controlling possession. While a close game can be expected, a multitude of points cannot be.
