Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs preview: Date, kick-off time, news, prediction and how to watch the NFL on DAZN

Kansas City has caught fire recently, shaking off a rough 0-2 start to win five of its last six and reclaim its spot among the league’s elite.

Patrick Mahomes has been instrumental in that surge, throwing nine touchdowns over that stretch and once again reminding everyone why his name already belongs alongside the NFL’s all-time greats.

The return of Rashee Rice from suspension has added another spark to the offense, joining forces with future Hall of Fame TE Travis Kelce and burner Xavier Worthy to give Mahomes a dynamic trio of targets.

While the air attack has grabbed the headlines, running backs Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt could be difference-makers here, facing a Buffalo defense that’s allowing 5.7 yards per carry - second-worst in the league.

Defensively, Kansas City’s loaded unit - George Karlaftis, Nick Bolton, Trent McDuffie, and tackling machine Chamarri Conner - will have their hands full containing reigning MVP Josh Allen and the Bills’ explosive offense.

Allen’s postseason battles with Mahomes haven’t gone his way, but he owns a 4-1 record against the Chiefs in the regular season and will be desperate to keep that edge.

He’ll once again spread the ball around to his deep arsenal of pass-catchers, including Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, and tight end Dalton Kincaid, while leaning on running back James Cook - fresh off a monster 216-yard, two-touchdown day against Carolina.

Buffalo’s defense, led by Greg Rousseau, faces questions up front with Ed Oliver landing on IR. Linebacker Terrel Bernard could return from an ankle issue, but he needs a big performance to silence his doubters.

With both teams eyeing the AFC’s top seed, this matchup feels like a playoff game in early November: two superstar quarterbacks, two incredible fanbases, and absolutely no room for mistakes.

If the prospect of a Mahomes vs. Allen duel sounds good to you, DAZN has you covered with the latest Game Pass offer, with this and every game through the end of the season for as little as £34.99.

Date and Time

• Sunday, November 2
• 9:25 pm GMT / 4:25 pm ET / 1:25 pm PT

Where is the game played?

Highmark Stadium, Orchard Park, New York.

All-time series

The Chiefs have dominated the Bills in recent postseason games, but Buffalo leads the all-time series 30-26-1.

Prediction

This one feels like it could go either way. The Chiefs bring the better defense, and the Bills bring the stronger run game.

It might sound cliché to say it will all hinge on Mahomes vs. Allen, but with teams this evenly matched, that’s often how it goes.

Home-field advantage will give Buffalo a lift, but I’m leaning toward the Chiefs to steal it on the road.

Bills 26 - 30 Chiefs
