Buffalo is playing at Kansas City and the game is anyone's game. I think were it in Buffalo, it would be another story. Buffalo has a terrific defense and offense, and is number 1 against the pass.
It will be extremely difficult against either. I just think Kansas City allows Burrow to shine more than Buffalo in freezing weather and that top-rated passing defense.

Not terribly impressed with either of these defenses. Burrow & co must be salivating.

Allen ran for twice as many yards as Mahomes and I’m not confident in our ability to stop him from running all over us. We’ve already seen KC’s D and know we can score on them. We also adjusted well to KC’s offense after we got a look at it first hand in that game. Plus Buffalo weather or KC weather? I’ll take KC. Buffalo fans at home or KC fans at home? I’ll take KC.
I know everyone seems to think they want to play the bills but I don’t get it. Other than saying it’s hard to beat teams twice (which we’ve done 3 times already this year), I really haven’t seen a good argument why we should want the Bills.
I can't get behind the bold. Arrowhead is the loudest stadium in the NFL, and it is outdoors. Get that crowd going and it can become a false start fest.

In all, they had 9 games over 30 points, with another 4 at 26 or more.
Alternative way of saying all that, their offense was held to 25 or fewer points only 4 times this season.
Duly noted but fact remains the Steelers hit them with 17 in the 4th quarter at Buffalo.
Btw, that vaunted Bills' D sure as hell didn't look too good on that last TD.

My head keeps telling me @Buffalo would be best so that there's no chance of KC going to SB #3 in a row and some new blood (bengals/bills) would be good, but my gut keeps telling me that @KC is the best place to be.

KC will be an issue for us. They aren’t going to get out of two high similar to how they are playing the Bills here, so not going to see a 260 yard Chase game this time around. I would guess it’ll need to be a Mixon heavy game and then we will need to figure out how to slow down Mahomes again like we did second half of the first game.

Of course, to these announcers McPherson doesn't even merit a mention in the face of Kansas City's kicker, the second-best in the NFL according to them. As Harrison "Butt Kicker" Butker misses yet again.

Not sure the first part matters.
Buffalo spanked the Chiefs in KC mid season.

Defense is probably pissed at Allen.

2nd best kicker in the league’s missed extra point could end up being very costly

Both are gonna be hard. KC fans wanting a 3rd trip to the SB or crazy ass Bills fans wanting their first? I’ll take my chances in KC

But the Bills have that dominating defense and as we see a quick strike offense with a QB that can run.
Mahomes is running for his life out their to make plays.

It’s gotta be Bills by 1 on a last second FG right?
That is how the other 3 divisional games have ended - walk off FG for the visiting team.
So much for home field advantage.
