Bills vs Chiefs Prediction
In head-to-head meetings between these two teams, Buffalo dominates during the regular season. The Bills have won three in a row over the Chiefs. That includes a 20-17 win last month at KC.
However, when it’s a win or go home game, it’s Buffalo that packs it in. Kansas City beat the Bills in the 2020 AFC Championship Game (38-24) and the 2021 Divisional Round (42-36 in overtime).

This will be the first meeting between the two clubs at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium since the 2020 regular season. Kansas City won that game 26-17. In fact, the Chiefs are 3-0 straight up and against the spread in their last three road games against the Bills.
This feels different, though. The Bills are holding the hot hand, with six successive victories. The Chiefs simply haven’t looked like their old dominant selves this season, though they did win impressively over Miami on Wild Card Weekend. But every good team won impressively over Miami this season.
Chiefs vs Bills pick: Buffalo Bills -2 (-110)
Packers vs 49ers Prediction
Opening as 7.5-point underdogs at Dallas, that seemed like too many points for the Packers to give from the get go. And as good as the 49ers have proven to be this season, laying 10 points in an NFL postseason game is a big ask.
Green Bay is 4-0 straight up in the past four games and 3-0 against the spread over the last three games. The Packers are 7-2 SU in the last nine games.

San Francisco is just 5-7 ATS over the past 12 games. The 49ers are 0-2 SU and ATS in their last two home games. In fact, they are 0-5 ATS in their last five home games.
In the last four postseason meetings between the two clubs, San Francisco is 4-0 SU and 3-0-1 ATS. Green Bay hasn’t won a playoff game on the road against the 49ers since 1998. The Packers did win regular-season games at San Francisco in both 2020 and 2021, though.
Packers vs 49ers pick: Green Bay Packers +10 (-110)
