The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs meet this Sunday evening to decide the AFC Championship for the second time in four seasons. If this rivalry’s recent history is anything to go by then expect plenty of on-field fireworks between quarterbacks Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.
After defeating the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round, Buffalo looks to take down perhaps its fiercest playoff nemesis in head coach Andy Reid and Chiefs Kingdom. With Bills head coach Sean McDermott having never won against his former mentor in the postseason, this game brings extra meaning for many at One Bills Drive — especially Josh Allen.
Most expect another all-time game between the Bills and Chiefs. With that, comes the opportunity to wager on the action — if you’re so inclined. Even if you’re not, the current odds and wagers at FanDuel Sportsbook provide plenty of interesting talking points about Sunday’s game.

If you’re ready to dive into the world of same-game parlays (SGP), here are a few Bills-focused options to consider when building your SGP ahead of the AFC Championship Game.

This number is no doubt due to his two rushing touchdowns at the goal line against one of the best rushing defenses. Josh Allen and TDs on the ground are a matched pair — which often means a pair of such scores are very likely. It’s Allen. It’s the playoffs. He’s going to run at least one in, and he may very well be the first rushing scorer on Sunday. (You can also bet that, of course.)
Here, we take the favorable odds in hopes of seeing the three-leg hit more easily. Book it — Allen’s hitting paydirt at least once.
As I mentioned above, we’re leaning into tried-and-true prop options this week. As with last week’s odds, Shakir see identical odds to catch a pass on the Bills’ first offensive drive. The allure of plus odds is undeniable, but especially so when you consider how often Allen looks for Shakir before anyone else.
That which I noted last week holds true this week:
During the 2024 regular season, Shakir caught 20 passes (23 targets) for 173 yards in the first quarter of games. As the...
