Travis Kelce Update.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's status has been confirmed ahead of the AFC Championship against the Buffalo Bills.

The Buffalo Bills will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game of the NFL Playoffs on Sunday at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. EST.

All week, discussions about alleged officiating bias favoring the Chiefs in their previous playoff victory against the Houston Texans have dominated the lead-up to this game. Tight end Travis Kelce, at the center of these conversations, addressed the allegations during his "New Heights" podcast alongside his brother Jason. 

Kelce brushed off criticisms, including those made by hip-hop legend Lil Wayne, who accused the Chiefs of benefitting from questionable referee decisions. Despite the controversy, Kelce maintained focus on preparing for the Bills, a game that could decide the Chiefs' third consecutive Super Bowl appearance.

In addition to the ongoing chatter about officiating, Friday brought a significant update to the AFC Championship narrative when Bet365 released their Milestone Player Props for Travis Kelce. These odds provide new insights into expectations for Kelce’s performance on Sunday, which has prompted Dimers to adjust their Chiefs vs. Bills predictions.

Kelce's new milestone AFC Championship prop odds:

  • Receiving Yards:

    • 50: -330

    • 60: -185

    • 70: -110

    • 80: +145

  • Touchdowns:

    • Anytime: +125

    • 2 or More: +850

  • Receptions:

    • 4: -1100

This update prompted our data analysts to reevaluate their Chiefs vs. Bills predictions and player stat projections using new simulations that factored in the latest Kelce updates.
