Green Bay has won seven in a row while Tampa Bay has won six consecutive games.<\/p>\n
While the NFC game features living legends, two young guns will be quarterbacking the AFC teams.<\/p>\n
In his fourth season, Mahomes owns the highest passer rating and richest contract in NFL history. He won league MVP in 2018 and Super Bowl MVP in 2019, and led the NFL in passing yards in 2020. In his third season, Buffalo\u2019s Josh Allen took a quantum leap forward. He accumulated almost 5,000 yards of total offense and 45 total touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Mahomes was knocked out of last week\u2019s victory over Cleveland with a concussion. His status for Sunday was in doubt until Friday.<\/p>\n
We probably wouldn\u2019t even have had this game up if it wasn\u2019t an AFC Championship Game,\u201d<\/strong> Avello said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to put something up if you don\u2019t know who the key player is, but we had to put it up because of the magnitude of the game.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe line would have swung by seven points in Buffalo\u2019s direction had Mahomes been ruled out, Avello said.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs are getting about 60 percent of the money against the spread. However, sportsbooks have made a killing against the Chiefs, who are just 1-8 against the spread in their last nine games. Buffalo is 9-1 against the spread in its last 10.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis team (the Bills) is playing with more confidence right now than probably any team in the playoffs because Josh Allen has come into his own, he feels comfortable out there, and he\u2019s got a go-to guy in (Stefon) Diggs when he needs a big play,\u201d<\/strong> Avello said.<\/p>\nDiscounting Week 17, when Mahomes didn\u2019t play, Kansas City has won 11 consecutive games.
