The stage is set, the stakes are high, and the Buffalo Bills are ready to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship on Sunday. With Jim Nantz and Tony Romo on the call for CBS, fans are in for a treat as two of the NFL’s heavyweights clash at Arrowhead Stadium.

But for Bills fans, the question remains: Can Buffalo finally topple Kansas City in the playoffs? Former Bills center and host of the Centered on Buffalo podcast, Eric Wood, believes the answer is yes. He shared five reasons why the Bills are going to finally take down the Chiefs and punch their ticket to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1994.

Josh Allen has been locked in during this playoff run, protecting the football like his life depends on it. Wood emphasized how Allen’s improved decision-making will be crucial against a Chiefs defense that thrives on turnovers.

“Allen’s ability to limit mistakes while still making big plays has been a game-changer,” Wood said. “If he keeps that up, the Bills will be in a great position to win.”

While the action on the field will be the main event, the sidelines could also be buzzing with celebrity energy. Will Taylor Swift and Hailee Steinfeld—partners of Travis Kelce and Josh Allen, respectively—make appearances to cheer on their teams? Only time will tell, but it’s another layer to the drama of this epic matchup.
