The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs clash in a highly anticipated AFC Divisional playoff matchup at Arrowhead Stadium. Both teams are coming off dominant Wild Card victories, with the Chiefs entering as 2.5-point home favorites despite losing their regular season meeting.

The Bills dominated the Patriots 47-17 in the Wild Card round, scoring touchdowns on seven possessions without punting or attempting a field goal. Josh Allen was exceptional in Buffalo's earlier 38-20 win over Kansas City this season, throwing for three touchdowns with no interceptions. The Bills defense also played a crucial role, intercepting Patrick Mahomes twice.

Kansas City advanced by routing Pittsburgh 42-21, with Mahomes throwing for over 400 yards and five touchdowns. After falling behind 7-0, the Chiefs scored 35 unanswered points to secure the win.

Key Factors for Success:

Buffalo Bills:

• Establish an effective running game with Devin Singletary
• Maintain offensive efficiency shown in Wild Card round
• Continue strong defensive pressure on Mahomes

Kansas City Chiefs:

• Minimize turnovers (had 4 in regular season loss to Bills)
• Contain Josh Allen's rushing ability
• Improve coverage against Bills' receiving threats, especially Dawson Knox

The winner advances to the AFC Championship Game, with Kansas City seeking their third straight appearance while Buffalo aims to avenge previous playoff losses to the Chiefs.
