Kansas City Chiefs

2020 Finish: 14-2

2020 Games vs. the Buffalo Bills: Week 6: Chiefs won 26-17, AFC Championship Game: Chiefs won 38-24

There is not much to be said about the Kansas City Chiefs that has not already been said.

They have the league’s best quarterback-coach combination, the deepest receiving core, and a solid offensive line. The reigning AFC champions will no doubt be the biggest obstacle for a Bills super bowl appearance.

It is doubtful that Kansas City will suffer a Super Bowl hangover like the 49ers and Rams before them. Patrick Mahomes, Tyreeks Hill, Travis Kelce, and the rest of their offensive core are too deep to drastically fall off the way others have.

If nothing goes terribly wrong for the Chiefs, they again will be the team to beat in the AFC.

The defense is a solid unit that won’t completely shut anyone down but can get the job done when they need to.

It is certainly possible that the Bills could beat Kansas City, it will likely be a competitive matchup when they meet in Week 5.
