00:00I do think Buffalo gets the job done here against Kansas City primarily because I think

00:06The Buffalo win against Baltimore was perfect

00:10Because they did not win that game

00:12With Josh Allen and an MVP superstar showdown against Lamar

00:17Josh Allen had a hundred and twenty seven passing yard five point eight yards per attempt

00:2420 rushing yards on 10 carries a lot of them were sneaks

00:28That's why the lack of efficiency, but Josh Allen was was not putting on a light show

00:33This was was not Josh at his very best

00:37And I think it is possible that that's what Josh will need to be going against Kansas City

00:42Because their defense has been so good throughout the season you're going need to need to see Josh be very very very good

00:50Within this football game, but I think he will be able to do that. You know, we look at last week's performance against Houston and

00:58When I bring up the Texans out gaining the Chiefs by over a hundred yards

01:03I know a lot of people roll their eyes

01:06where it is relevant is if that continues for Kansas City and they proceed to

01:12Allow an opponent to get into their territory against the Bills

01:16That's more likely going to be points if not touchdowns and if Kansas City keeps going into opponent's territory and

01:23Stalling out like they did against the Texans. That's more likely to be costly

01:28Everybody expects the Chiefs to click turn it on

01:31I don't know why you wouldn't turn it on in the divisional round or when you were at Buffalo or the other

01:37600 opportunities they've had this season. I think the Bills get the job done here on the road

01:42You make sense with that assessment, I think the when you look at last week with the Buffalo win

01:47Yes, Josh Allen played well within the scheme. He only threw for a buck 27

01:52He did rush for two touchdowns on the ground cook added 17 attempts for 67 yards

01:58But what did you get out of the defense? You got opportunistic turnovers, right? They they forced a turnover against Lamar

02:04They got the turnover against

02:06I almost said Todd Heap Mark Andrews coming over the middle, you know to really change the momentum in the second half of the game

02:13Can they force turnovers against Pat Mahomes that will be the key whether Buffalo closes the door not in it on the flip side

02:21We talked about yes, they moved the football Houston

02:24But you still allowed your quarterback to get sacked eight times in terms of that matchup, right?

02:29I think when you look at this game overall

02:31The team that was a turnover battle and the team that ultimately runs the football

02:35The best will win the game in my opinion and that's where Kansas City needs a better effort

02:40They only had 50 yards on the ground against Houston first time that they played against Buffalo on the road the game

02:46They lost they only had 78 yards

02:48They did average 4.6 yards per carry, but they need to get to 100 keep that offensive balance

02:54But again, I still think it's a higher scoring game. We know that Josh Allen is explosive

02:59We know that this offense potentially could put up points

03:02Can the defense help you out or are they gonna get ripped like we've seen at particular times throughout the regular season?

03:09Against LA or more pointly against Baltimore could that defense shows up Kev today?

03:16Pat Mahomes is gonna have a field day

03:18Yeah, cuz you I mean there is discrepancies and we'll get into it in the Washington game as well

03:22Houston came into town last week

03:23We weren't questioning that defense top ten in the NFL to really good cornerback solid pass rush and they got after it in the city

03:29Still won now Kansas City going up against the 28th ranked defense in the NFL according to pro football focus when Kansas City's defense is a

03:35Number two that's gonna play into it

03:37But also I do think you're getting a little bit different side of Kansas City in this game going up against Buffalo's defense

03:41So many times you see like, you know, it don't make the mistakes here

03:44We'll just play good defense when you look at the way the season has gone for the Buffalo Bills good defense bad defense great defense

03:50They're still putting up points

03:51So I do think you're getting a more aggressive option here today out of Kansas City

03:54As I said again the most healthy team left in the playoffs every there's not a person on the injury report

04:00Set not to go in this game for Kansas City, which means the wide receiver should have extra room

04:04Maybe the pass rush isn't as good this week as it was last week

04:07You take a look at the running game might be able to get untracked which is going to help Patrick Mahomes

04:11So that's the way I look at it here. I know one thing. I'm gonna get a great defensive effort out of Kansas City

04:15I just don't know if I'm getting that out of the Buffalo Bills and I don't have to sell myself on eight and a half

04:20Or nine and a half points. It's one and a half Kansas City to win at home

04:23That's all my decision is
