00:00I saw the Bills a little while ago come away with the win at 27 to 25 over the Ravens.

00:06They move on to the AFC Championship game to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. A matchup we have seen

00:13a number of times, not only throughout the regular season, throughout the postseason over the past

00:18few years, and the lines for that are already posted. We have seen some line movement already.

00:25I saw this at 47.5 in terms of the total on Fandle. It's now up to 48.5. I saw it at 1.5 in

00:32favor of the Chiefs. Then it was down to minus one for the Chiefs. It's back up to minus one and a

00:37half. The same thing can be said about the Commanders and the Eagles. Obviously, the lines

00:42are different. I saw 49.5 out there across the industry. I always shout for the best lines of

00:47else. These lines are being posted. The player props are already posted for Eagles and Commanders,

00:53but let's recap what we saw from this game. We need to take this game into context

01:00because what we saw from the Bills on offense was okay. Frankly, being okay isn't good enough

01:11when it comes to potentially beating the Chiefs if people have Bills, AFC Futures, Chiefs, AFC

01:17Futures, Super Bowls, etc. etc. Josh Allen combined for less than 150 total yards today.

01:26They actually got things going on the ground to a decent amount with James Cook, Ty Johnson,

01:31Greg Davis, this trio that they've developed in the backfield. Outside of Khalil Shakir,

01:37who had six catches for 67 yards, which was awesome. That has been his role basically the

01:41entire season, kind of a de facto number one receiver. Obviously, when Diggs left in the

01:47offseason and they drafted Keon Coleman, they just didn't know what they were going to have

01:50in the passing game. Khalil Shakir really stepped up to be that number one receiver. He was great.

01:55James Cook did hit the over on his receiving yards if you got him at 14.5, which is the line

02:00where it was at 15. But outside of that, we saw an extreme lack of production from everyone else in

02:06the Bills passing game. Now, this isn't to say like, oh, they're going to do the exact same

02:09thing next week. But Allen needs to be better than he was tonight. He needs to be better next

02:15week if they're going to have a shot against the Chiefs. I expect him to be better, but it does

02:18have to be noted that he fell short of some of his props. Yes, he did cash in on the two touchdowns.

02:23He does go over on his carries attempts, but he only ended with 20 yards on the ground. So

02:28all in all, it was a good game from Josh Allen. And frankly, the Bills defense does deserve a lot

02:35of credit. Outside of that late TD, they were pretty solid the whole game. So good stuff from

02:42the Bills.
