SportsLine's Mike Tierney just revealed his Kansas City vs. Buffalo expert picks for Sunday's AFC Championship Game matchup during the 2025 NFL playoffs

The AFC East champs defeated the Baltimore Ravens in a thrilling AFC divisional round game on Sunday, 27-25. The game wasn’t decided until the final 93 seconds when Ravens tight end Mark Andrews lost his footing and couldn’t collect a two-point conversion pass from Lamar Jackson that would have tied the game.

The AFC Championship is set with Buffalo versus Kansas City in a rematch of a thriller earlier in the season (Buffalo won 30-21) and the 2020 AFC Championship Game (KC won 38-24).

Tom Brady is in broadcasting, Bill Belichick is coaching in college, Mike Vrabel just landed another NFL head coaching gig, and Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman are studio analysts. Indeed, the Patriots' dynasty is long gone,

Buffalo hung on when a wide-open Mark Andrews dropped a 2-point conversion pass from Lamar Jackson with 1:33 left.

For the seventh year in a row, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are back in the AFC Championship Game. After knocking out the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round, the defending Super Bowl champs are only one win away from their third straight AFC title and fifth in six years.

We have quite a surprise in the NFC as the Washington Commanders — not the Detroit Lions — will face the Philadelphia Eagles for the conference championship. In the AFC, the Buffalo Bills will visit the Kansas City Chiefs after beating the Baltimore Ravens at home on Sunday.
