The Kansas City Chiefs will hit the road to take on the Buffalo Bills in one of the most interesting games of Week 10. Two of the league's most aggressive defenses plus possible playoff implications will make this a very watchable contest. Here are five bold predictions for Sunday's matchup.

Kelce is one of the best playmaking tight ends in the NFL. Kansas City is going to need him with a tough Bills' run defense zeroed in on Jamaal Charles. Kelce is quickly becoming one of Alex Smith's favorite targets, and he'll likely lean on him quite a bit on Sunday.

If Watkins were to do this, it would be his third straight week doing so. The rookie wide receiver is really starting to live up to the hype. He'll be facing the stingiest secondary in the league that's allowing just under 200 passing yards per game, but Watkins has the skills to get it done.

Buffalo and Kansas City rank first and second respectively in sacks per game. The fact that both team's offensive lines leave a lot to be desired in pass protection means we should see some quarterbacks hitting the dirt.

2. The Bills Will Force At Least Two Turnovers

The reason why this prediction qualifies as bold is because the Chiefs have just two giveaways in their last five games. The Bills are second in the NFL with 18 takeaways, so something has got to give. Buffalo is at home and fresh off their bye week, which gives them the advantage here.

This should be a very close game with two defenses that seem to be somewhat equally matched. The Chiefs get a slight edge for a couple of reasons. First, superior special teams should help them win the field position battle. Second, I like Alex Smith, Jamaal Charles and Travis Kelce to get the job done over Kyle Orton, Sammy Watkins and the Bills' beaten-up rushing attack.
