As the NFL's conference title weekend approaches, former players and coaches around the league have revealed their predictions for the upcoming slate.

Former offensive tackle and Super Bowl champion Andrew Whitworth recently shared his prediction for the matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.

Kansas City enters the game as a 2-point favorite, per ESPN BET.

Despite the odds, Whitworth is taking the Bills to pull off the upset and defeat the Chiefs en route to Super Bowl LIX.

Whitworth credited his prediction to the success of Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen.

"Josh Allen, he's dangerous right now," Whitworth said, per Up & Adams. "To me, he's more dangerous than Mahomes at this current moment. Obviously we know, playoff Mahomes, he's going to show up at some point... But, I kind of think Josh Allen is going to get it this weekend. I'm going with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills."

Throughout the playoffs, the Bills have defeated the Denver Broncos 31-7 and the Baltimore Ravens 27-25.

Allen has combined for two touchdowns and 399 yards with a 75.0 completion percentage along with two touchdowns and 66 yards on the ground.

In the regular season, Allen posted 28 touchdowns and 3,731 yards with a 63.6 completion percentage while rushing for 12 touchdowns and 531 yards.

The Bills and Chiefs faced off earlier this season, with Buffalo defeating Kansas City 30-21. Allen holds a 4-1 advantage against the Chiefs in the regular season, but he's also 0-3 against Patrick Mahomes and company in the postseason.
