My predictions for this AFC divisional playoff game are that the Kansas City Chiefs are going to win, and they are going to win big. I would not be surprised if the Kansas City Chiefs went up big early, and then the Jacksonville Jaguars attempt to catch up with not enough time to come back against the high - octane offense of the Kansas City Chiefs.

I would not be surprised if the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals keep it close early on until the Buffalo Bills continue to outplay the Cincinnati Bengals in the second half of the game.
