Kansas City Chiefs AT Buffalo Bills
The Bills and Chiefs are embroiled in arguably the AFC’s top rivalry — though, with Kansas City having eliminated Buffalo from the postseason four times in the Patrick Mahomes-Josh Allen era, it has become a little one-sided, like Notre Dame vs. Navy. All right, that might be a bit harsh, because the Bills do always seem to get the better of the Chiefs in the regular season, including their past four such matchups. Then again, those wins come with much lower stakes than their playoff showdowns.

Kansas City takes care of Patrick Mahomes here.
31. Kansas City Chiefs: DI Walter Nolen, Ole Miss
Nolen’s run-defense prowess and overall upside are too good for Kansas City to pass up here. He trailed only Michigan’s Mason Graham in PFF run-defense grade (91.6) in his lone season at Ole Miss. His pass-rush potential started to shine as he generated 35 pressures and six sacks. Kansas City still has...
