It\u2019s almost like the Bills are favored. The Chiefs are historically bad at Ralph Wilson Stadium and despite their perfect record they\u2019re coming in as underdogs, at least from Bills fans perspective. The Chiefs will lull you to sleep with a boring offense and suffocate you with a tremendous defense. The home crowd needs to stay fierce to keep the Bills fired up in this one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After dissecting this match-up up I do like the Bills chances. The Chiefs are great in the areas the Bills struggle, it would take a near perfect game to steal this one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Quarterback:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/KC.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"KC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/KC.png\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a><\/b>Alex Smith has pretty much come as advertised. Don\u2019t put the game on his shoulder and he can be an efficient QB. Here are a few interesting stats, in 3 road games Smith has only thrown 2TD\u2019s, all of his interceptions this season (4) have come in the second half and he has most of his success throwing to the middle of the field. In 4 games this season Smith has been without a passing TD. If Thad Lewis was a definite go, I would seriously consider giving this to the Bills, but his uncertainty favors KC. = <strong>Chiefs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Alex Smith: 169\/286, 59%, 1,795 yards, 9TD\/4INT, 82.1<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Thad Lewis: 62\/103, 60%, 652 yards, 3TD\/2INT, 80.2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Running back:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/KC.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"KC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/KC.png\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a>Jamaal Charles is easily the best running back the Bills have faced this season. His ability to catch out of the backfield makes him the focal point of the Chiefs offense. Charles has had some big games vs the Bills just not lately. 2008; (rookie) 2\/22 yards, 2009; 20\/143 yards 1TD, 2010; 22\/177 yards, 2011; 10\/56 yards, 2012; 6\/3 yards.

KC is the only team ahead of Buffalo in the sack department. They\u2019re holding opposing QB\u2019s to an avg. rating of 70! Crazy!? But wait, they\u2019ve faced 4 back-up QB\u2019s this season, Gabbert, Fitzpatrick, Keenum and Campbell.

Brandon Flowers, Eric Berry, Quintin Demps,\u00a0 Sean Smith and Marcus Cooper might be playing better than any group in football at this point. Combined they have 8 interceptions, and 38 passes defended. With the way Thad has been sailing the football there\u2019s the potential to throw 4INT\u2019s in this game.
