Bills Schedule Boasts Easy Game To Predict

When the NFL schedule was released, teams and fans looked to see who they played and when, with the Buffalo Bills eagerly awaiting the outcome of a couple of their contests.

One was the Baltimore Ravens, a team the Bills beat in the playoffs last season, but the other was the main target—the Kansas City Chiefs.

The schedule dropped, and the Bills will once again face Patrick Mahomes and Co. at Highmark Stadium, the site of their playoff loss (again) last year.

For ESPN, this is the "circle this date" game for Buffalo and Bills Mafia.

"Yet again, the Bills and Chiefs will meet in the regular season so Week 9 or Nov. 2 becomes an immediate date to circle," ESPN writes. "This is the sixth straight season that the Bills will play the Chiefs in the regular season and the second straight regular-season meeting in Orchard Park. The Bills have won the last four regular-season matchups but lost four playoff games to Kansas City in that span. No matter when or where MVP quarterbacks Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes meet up, it's a game to watch and this year is no different."

We all know about the recent history between these two, with the Bills dominating in the regular season and the Chiefs dominating when it really matters.

The chance will come for the Bills to continue their regular-season dominance in Week 9, and at that time, Buffalo, given how their schedule has fallen, could be undefeated.

If that is the case, the chance to get a firm hold on the No. 1 seed is there for the taking.

Buffalo knows how to shut down the Chiefs in the regular season, but the playoffs are another matter. Still, continuing its recent winning streak against the defending AFC champs will put the Bills in a great position to go on a deep playoff run.
