The Chiefs are currently favored to win by -1.5, while the Bills moneyline is +114.Β
If weβre judging history, the Chiefs are the safe bet.Β
Patrick Mahomes and company have been to seven straight AFC Championship games. Theyβve won four of the last five and went on to win three Super Bowls, including two straight. They are now looking to become the first team in NFL history to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy in three straight seasons.Β

"Obviously, you want to win three in a row," Mahomes said, "but building those memories with the guys and with the community every single year is special. When I look back at all the different Super Bowls weβve won, I look back at special moments that weβve had and special games that weβve had. Weβll try to do that the same this year."Β
The rivalry between the Bills and Chiefs has seen three of Buffaloβs last four playoff runs come to an end thanks to Kansas City. The first was in 2021 in the AFC Championship game, the next year a heartbreaking overtime loss in the divisional round, and again last season another narrow loss in the divisional round.Β
But 2025 could be the year of the underdog if the Bills maintain what theyβve been doing in the regular season.Β
