The Chiefs are looking to get back to the Super Bowl again and win their 3rd straight title. To do so, they will have to beat a Bills team that won against them in the regular season but has failed to beat Mahomes in the playoffs in the past. Here are five bold predictions for them in this game:
Patrick Mahomes throws 2 INT

He never makes mistakes like this, but I think he will be forced to throw the ball to keep up with the Bills offense and mistakes will happen.
Travis Kelce has A TD Pass

The Chiefs call trick plays in the red zone, and I can see a play where Kelce gets it in the backfield and throws it to Noah Gray or a RB.
Xavier Worthy Has a 40-Yard Rush Play

Worthy is the big play guy in this offense. They give him the ball on reverses and he is always a threat to bust one.
Kareem Hunt Doubles Isiah Pacheco in Yards

Pacheco doesn’t look like the same guy since returning from injury. Hunt has been the better back and is getting more touches.
DeAndre Hopkins leads the Chiefs in receiving

He was barely even looked at last week against the Texans, but this week, he is going to be key as the Bills double team Kelce all game.
