Two of the top teams in the NFL will square off this Sunday when the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) head north to face the Buffalo Bills (8-2) on Sunday in Highmark Stadium at 4:25 p.m.
Kansas City has faced multiple tests this year, winning seven of their nine contests by one score or less. The Chiefs have survived through their staunch defense, even more so than their strong offensive effort this season.
Buffalo is quite the opposite team. The Bills have scored 30 points for four straight contests, winning by 10 or more points three times during their five-game winning streak. Buffalo is also a perfect 4-0 at home this season.
Which undefeated streak will snap this weekend as the Chiefs travel north to face the Bills? We’ll cover that and three of our top player prop bets for Sunday’s contest below.
Since entering the league in 2018, Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen has been terrorizing the competition. He’s on the verge of a fifth-straight playoff appearance this season with his team handily in the AFC North driver’s seat.
The 6-foot-5 quarterback has helped his team win in a variety of ways this season, passing for 2,281 yards in 10 games while also rushing for 261 yards and four scores in 2024. This year, he’s attempted to stay in the pocket more than in previous seasons as he’s rushed the football only 55 times.
Expect that to change against Kansas City. The Chiefs have been vulnerable to mobile quarterbacks, and Allen is a threat with his feet. Bettors should take the under on this player prop bet.
In his return to Kansas City, Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has been an effective rusher. The 5-foot-10 veteran has recorded 449 rushing yards on 125 carries, scoring five touchdowns for his team through his first six games.
Bettors should expect him to continue that torrid pace on Sunday. Despite having a paltry 35 rushing yards against Denver last week, Hunt should cover this player prop bet and met a mark he’s eclipsed in four of his six games this year.
Buffalo made a move to help their passing attack by trading a third-round draft pick to Cleveland for star wide receiver Amari Cooper. The veteran has played in just two contests for the Bills since the trade, catching five passes for 66 yards in his debut against Tennessee.
Since that October 20 contest against the Titans, Cooper has caught only one pass for three yards the following week before missing his team’s next two contests.
He’s set to return on Sunday, but bettors should take the under on this prop bet as Cooper will not be a difference-maker on Sunday.
Kansas City has been one of the luckiest teams in the league this year. They’re inches – literally looking at you, Isaiah Likely – from having at least one loss if not multiple this season. The Chiefs’ luck has to end sooner rather than later.
Where better for that lucky streak to fall than against a Bills squad looking for revenge for their playoff exits over the past four seasons?
Buffalo should be the hungrier team looking to prove their early-season record is no fluke, and bettors should expect them to win this game by more than a field goal on Sunday.
