Divisional Round NFL picks for Bills vs. Chiefs

Before tuning into Sunday's Chiefs vs. Bills game, you need to see what SportsLine expert Larry Hartstein has to say, considering his mastery of picks involving Kansas City. A former lead writer for Covers and The Linemakers, Hartstein combines a vast network of Vegas sources with an analytical approach he honed working for Pro Football Focus. He tied for 52nd place (out of 1,598 entries) in the 2022 Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest, going 53-34-3 ATS. Those selections form the basis of his weekly SportsLine NFL best bets, which are 70-44-2 since the start of last season, including a 15-5 record the last seven weeks.

Most importantly, Hartstein has a read on the pulse of the Chiefs. He is 31-20 (+875) on his last 51 ATS picks in games involving Kansas City. Anyone who has followed him is way up.

For Bills vs. Chiefs, Hartstein is backing the Chiefs to cover the spread. After years of the offense powering the Chiefs to five straight AFC Title Games, it's the defense which has Kansas City on the verge of a sixth this season. The Chiefs finished the regular season second in points allowed, yards allowed and sacks, while they also ranked in the top 10 in third-down defense and redzone defense. That side of the ball is playing its very best entering Sunday's matchup as KC has kept each of its last six opponents to 20 points or fewer.

Allen was sacked five times over the last two weeks despite facing Pittsburgh and Miami defenses both without their best pass rushers. Allen also hasn't been his usual productive self recently as he's had more TD passes than interceptions just once over his last four games. Those factors have Hartstein backing a healthy Chiefs defense versus an inconsistent Bills offense.

"Kansas City's defense ranks third in dropback EPA and will make Josh Allen more uncomfortable than the T.J. Watt-less Steelers did," Hartstein told SportsLine. You can stream the game here.
