The Kansas City Chiefs have won four straight games and are looking for a fifth against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium. The oddsmakers feel that the Chiefs should get the job done, being favored by seven points over the Bills with an OVER/UNDER of 41.5, according to OddsShark.

Kansas City is 5-5 and currently holding down the final spot in the AFC playoff spot. The Chiefs are coming off consecutive wins in the AFC West, having beat the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers on the road by a combined score of 62-16. Andy Reid’s group has been playing incredible defense during the winning streak, not allowing more than 13 points.

Buffalo is desperately trying to make the playoffs for the first time since 1999, back when Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie were splitting quarterback duties. The Bills are also 5-5, giving this game the utmost importance in the AFC playoff race. The winner will have a huge advantage, holding a tiebreaker that could prove to be key toward the end of the campaign.

As for trends, the odds are saying that you should be looking at the UNDER. For Kansas City, four of its last six games ended in the UNDER, while the same can be said for Buffalo in 17 of its last 25 contests. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have been very good at home in recent times, covering the spread in eight of its last 11 chances.
