The Buffalo Bills Are the Best Team in the 2021 AFC Playoffs

The Bills look plenty capable of defeating the reigning AFC Champions and advancing to Super Bowl LV.

There’s a phrase I’ve borrowed in recent years, from the legendary Ric Flair, when discussing which team I believe will win the AFC and advance to the Super Bowl:

“To Be The Man, You Gotta Beat The Man”

So until someone proves us otherwise, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are the favorites to win the Lamar Hunt trophy as the American Football Conference champion, and represent the AFC in Super Bowl LV. You’d almost be a fool to bet against them doing so. Outside of losing an otherwise meaningless game in Week 17 (a game in which Mahomes didn’t play), the Chiefs lost a grand total of one game this season — a Week 6 game against their division rival Las Vegas Raiders way back in early-to-mid-October. In other words, they’re basically entering the AFC playoffs on a 10-game winning streak.
