Which team is better equipped for a 60-minute dogfight? I don't think this season has given us a strong enough answer to that question, actually, but we've at least seen the Chiefs can win one.

I think that's completely fair, but I'm looking at the Bills talent on the field. They have the talent to run a perfectly fine two-minute drill.
The Chiefs, however, were seemingly constructed to ace the two-minute drill. You have to do what the Bengals did and kill the clock; you simply can't let Mahomes have the ball with any time left if the game is close. He's going to score. [Reply]
Betty White’s last word was “Allen”before she passed away. This was the first name of her late husband but I’m taking it as a sign the #BuffaloBills are winning the super bowl. Thanks Betty ����#billsmafia

I guess the Chiefs are unable to learn like other teams. :-)

Josh Allen is gonna have to score TD’s every drive if he wants to win this game. I don’t think he does that to that level.
I’m seeing this game as a high scoring affair but Mahomes has a little more juice.
Bills 38
Chiefs 48
Your analysis is fine, but there's no way in hell this Spags defense gives up 38 points. And there's no way in hell Leslie Frazier's defense gives up nearly 50. [Reply]

Total Points = 86?
Man, I don't see that at all. I think the O/U is like 54.5

They beat the winless Jets.
I just think there's no chance this game is a blowout. I think it's going to be less than a touchdown.
When's the last time the Bills won a close game on the road against "somebody their own size," rather than the hapless Jets.
That's a good sign the Chiefs have the leg up here. Like I said, Mahomes simply gives them more margin for error and less room needed for success. [Reply]

I mean, if the eye test doesn't tell you, and the stat we're talking about doesn't tell you, I don't know what will. [Reply]
The best thing the nobody believes in them, essential underdog Chiefs have going for them this weekend is that Josh Allen was SO good last weekend. His entire history says a precipitous drop is coming. pic.twitter.com/ZtOv9rYGrC

You're looking at the Bills roster and thinking "damn, they have stars all over the field" and yes, they do.
But NFL history is littered with talented players that just didn't have "it". The Hall also has more than a few guys in it that weren't particularly physically gifted but were so clutch they couldn't be denied.
I will go as far to say Josh Allen is more physically talented that Patrick Mahomes, especially at his size. What he doesn't have is the ability to will himself to a win when the chips are down. That's why Mahomes is so good - not because he's athletically gifted alone but because his mind is bigger than the game. I don't think you can say that about Josh Allen with any degree of certainty.
