Top Chiefs at Bills props:

Josh Allen Over 41.5 rushing yards

The Chiefs have the third-best pass defense in the league (the Bills are second), so much of Buffalo's offense will need to come on the ground. Thankfully, the Bills have both a dynamic running back in James Cook and a quarterback who can scamper in Allen. The reigning MVP has hit his rushing Over in three of his last five games and will look to gash Kansas City whenever possible. The SportsLine model projects a whopping 58.1 rushing yards for Allen. 

Khalil Shakir Over 50.5 receiving yards

Shakir has cleared his receiving yardage total in four of his last five home games. While the Chiefs are good at defending the pass, Shakir is good for a few explosive plays per game, meaning he could clear this line with just a few catches. The SportsLine model has a rosy outlook, projecting him for 65.6 receiving yards.

Travis Kelce anytime touchdown scorer

This is one of those anytime TD plays you can just feel in your gut. Bills-Chiefs games are frequently wild and wooly affairs, and Kelce is all about those sorts of contests with millions of fans watching. The star tight end is clearly nearing the end of the line, but he still shows up for these games, and Mahomes knows he can use Kelce as a security blanket. With Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy healthy, the Buffalo defense suddenly has plenty to handle in the passing game -- exactly what can allow Kelce to slip into the end zone.
