Bills vs Chiefs AFC Title Preview & Bold Predictions
01/24/25 • 57 min
On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Jarrett Bailey of The Sporting News for a full Buffalo Bills vs Kansas City Chiefs preview, including keys to a Buffalo victory, bold predictions from each and a stab at the final score.
The pressure is high for both teams, obviously heading into this conference title clash. For the Bills it's all about getting over the hump to reach the Super Bowl, something that the Chiefs have personally stopped three times already during this Sean McDermott/Josh Allen era. It's also a legacy game of sorts for both Buffalo head coach and quarterback. Meanwhile for Kansas City they're two games away from winning a third straight Super Bowl, something that's never been done in NFL history. The guys spend time talking about the significance of both.
Jarrett has plenty of unbiased insight on both teams coming in, from Kansas City being literally unbeatable in one score games over the past two seasons as a team that simply never beats themselves, to the Bills and their newfound identity that isn't statistically pleasing like it's been in the past but arguably the most balanced team during the McDermott era.
From there Patrick has keys to the game for a Buffalo victory he shares, ranging from dancing to what's brought them there to a commitment to not letting Travis Kelce roam wild through the Bills pass defense. They also share some bold predictions from the game, including a return to form of sorts for Allen, score predictions from each and tons more.
You can follow Jarrett on Twitter at @JBaileyNFL and be sure to check out his work both at The Sporting News and Behind The Steel Curtain (SB Nation).
Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.

Storylines & Talking Points Emerging For Bills vs Chiefs
On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Mike Bundt from Trainwreck Sports to go over several of the biggest storylines and talking points emerging as the Buffalo Bills get ready to face the Kanas City Chiefs on Sunday for the AFC championship.
A trip to the Super Bowl is on the line and Mike has some interesting observations and thoughts on many things that are discussed, including the high stakes pressure with both teams. Buffalo's is obvious reasons, as the organization tries to finally get over the hump and make their first Super Bowl throughout the Josh Allen/Sean McDermott era and their first as an organization since 1994. Meanwhile the Chiefs are trying to become the first team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl in three consecutive seasons.
The guys also discuss how several key players were missing on both teams the first time these teams met during the regular season, an opportunity for the Buffalo running game to be strong against what's been a leaky Chiefs run defense, officiating historically being (strongly) on the Chiefs side in the postseason and how Buffalo need slow down Patrick Mahomes, who's always on another level come playoff time.
They also talk about what they think each team fears most about their opponent, X-factors for the game and tons more. Make sure to follow Mike on Twitter @Mike_Bundt.

Bills Blow Chance For Super Bowl (Live Reactions)
On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens just minutes following the conclusion of the Buffalo Bills season falling short, again against the Kansas City Chiefs, 32-29 in the AFC championship.
The discuss all of it, including a defense that yet again failed them in an elimination game, blown opportunities on the offensive side of the ball and guys simply not stepping up when it mattered most.
Dalton Kincaid had a critical drop and also failed to pick up a first down earlier in a drive that mattered. Damar Hamlin was brutal, ditto for Kaiir Elam who looked like he had no business being on the field. Greg Rousseau had arguably the worst game of his Buffalo Bills career. The Bills couldn't use their unstoppable tush push successfully. In fact it arguably helped contribute to them losing the game. Of course, there was a controversial call that clearly went against Buffalo. Add it all up, and the Bills fall short again.
Not going to lie and there's no getting around it--it's a sickening feeling.
