Bills tt over 25.5
KC is back to the team we all know they are- Rice is a problem and Kelce can still play. The Bills can't get a wr open past 10 yards- people are clamoring for Shaheed in a trade so we have another not #1 wr. The Bills built this offense as a KC beater but they keep missing on offensive weapons. Except Cook. I think McD has finally realized that Cook has to get 20+ touches min. Panthers knew it was coming but couldn't stop it. When the line is blocking the way they were last week, he's getting 5+ yds and setting up short yardage plays. I think the Bills o-line is going to give them a good shot at winning this game. They will need SOMETHING on the outside. I have a hunch they will look to get elijah Moore a couple more targets, especially if Palmer can't go. Allen pointed out post game he missed him wide open and Elijah has been playing good ball. Gabe Davis was elevated which I think is proof we are nearing desperation but he is also a great blocking wr. To win Allen will have to make some big plays vs the blitzes KC will throw at him. I worry about him trying to be a hero again which is fun to watch but not what they need.
KC might be able to throw all over the Bills- Although very promising last week Hairston played 22 snaps I believe. His speed is unreal so it'll be interesting to see him when he's on worthy. Allowing a bigger more physical Benford to cover Rice has to be the best route, but I'm curious to see how they go about covering Kelce. Taron played a ton last week but I don't think the Bills are as worried about the run... Poyer is the safety so if the corners are getting beat the Bills are toast. Looking like Shaq might not play which is rough. D line was owning last week but Mahomes is a different animal than Dalton. I do think they will be able to disrupt the KC offense but they're putting up 24+ regardless let's be honest.
The Bills finally back home after what feels like an eternity. I think it'll still be fresh in their minds the clunker they put up vs the Patriots. They haven't lost b2b home games in 4 years. They scored 27+ in every game but vs NE last season. I am really hoping they come out and stick to what they do best- running the ball and controlling the line. Going to have to keep KC off the field so I do expect them to try and slow pace- still have to stick to what I think is the best wager on board and play the home team to get to 26+ like they almost always do at home.
I wouldn't be on anything under here even though I do think KC has a good defense. As of right now my only other lean is Cook rushing yards over 74.5. Another situation where if he rips off 1 25 yarder you're getting there. My only concern is they try to beat the blitz by throwing out of the backfield- they haven't done this all season and I've been waiting for it. Cook rec yards is risky but if there's a week for it.....
I'll have more thoughts
