Bills Schedule Boasts Easy Game To Predict

Yahoo19-05-2025

When the NFL schedule was released, teams and fans looked to see who they played and when, with the Buffalo Bills eagerly awaiting the outcome of a couple of their contests.
One was the Baltimore Ravens, a team the Bills beat in the playoffs last season, but the other was the main target—the Kansas City Chiefs.

The schedule dropped, and the Bills will once again face Patrick Mahomes and Co. at Highmark Stadium, the site of their playoff loss (again) last year.
For ESPN, this is the "circle this date" game for Buffalo and Bills Mafia.
"Yet again, the Bills and Chiefs will meet in the regular season so Week 9 or Nov. 2 becomes an immediate date to circle," ESPN writes. "This is the sixth straight season that the Bills will play the Chiefs in the regular season and the second straight regular-season meeting in Orchard Park. The Bills have won the last four regular-season matchups but lost four playoff games to Kansas City in that span. No matter when or where MVP quarterbacks Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes meet up, it's a game to watch and this year is no different."

We all know about the recent history between these two, with the Bills dominating in the regular season and the Chiefs dominating when it really matters.

The chance will come for the Bills to continue their regular-season dominance in Week 9, and at that time, Buffalo, given how their schedule has fallen, could be undefeated.
If that is the case, the chance to get a firm hold on the No. 1 seed is there for the taking.
Buffalo knows how to shut down the Chiefs in the regular season, but the playoffs are another matter. Still, continuing its recent winning streak against the defending AFC champs will put the Bills in a great position to go on a deep playoff run.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Reveals His Favorite Basketball Player of All Time Without Hesitation

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Reveals His Favorite Basketball Player of All Time Without Hesitation originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is gearing up for Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals after a season to remember. Advertisement The 26-year-old won his first MVP award after leading the Thunder to the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference with a 68-14 record. In doing so, he averaged 32.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game. Gilgeous-Alexander continues to make a big impact on the game of basketball. While young fans now look up to the seventh-year guard, it's worth remembering that he was once in their shoes, and he had a basketball idol of his own.

FISH/THE OKLAHOMAN / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images On Saturday, he spoke to the media and admitted Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant is his "favorite player of all time." 'That's probably my favorite player of all time," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "Never got the chance to meet him to answer your question but not only me, kids all across the world, his influence has gone through the roof, and his legacy will be remembered forever because of the competitor and the basketball player that he was. Hopefully, I'm somewhere close to that as a basketball player one day. But he was a special talent, special person, and God rest his soul.' Bryant is one of the greatest players to ever pick up a basketball. He was drafted No. 13 overall in the 1996 NBA Draft and went on to play 20 seasons for the Lakers. The 6-foot-6 guard was a five-time champion, a two-time Finals MVP, the 2008 league MVP, an 18-time All-Star and an 11-time All-NBA First Team selection.

Michael Jordan News Emerges Amid $40 Million NBA Return Rumors

Michael Jordan News Emerges Amid $40 Million NBA Return Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Michael Jordan, widely considered the greatest basketball player of all time, is set to return to the NBA next season. While he won't be suiting up and stepping on the court, he'll be taking on a new role. With the league's broadcast moving from TNT to NBC for the 2025-26 season, Jordan will serve as a "special contributor" for NBC's coverage. Advertisement His exact role hasn't been announced, but getting the six-time NBA champion to come out of retirement and appear on television likely took a lot. On the "PBD Podcast," Patrick Bet-David mentioned that Jordan is reportedly receiving a $40 million annual deal. Michael Jordan is honored for being selected to the NBA 75th Anniversary Terada-Imagn Images On Monday, Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports (FOS) confirmed that the amount is inaccurate. "A source tells Front Office Sports that this number, which is about twice what Charles Barkley makes per year from TNT, is inaccurate. NBC declined to comment," Glasspiegel wrote. Despite the NBA's coverage moving on from TNT, Barkley is still under contract with the network as he prepares to work for both TNT and ESPN next season. He signed a 10-year, $210 million extension with TNT in 2022, according to FOS's Michael McCarthy. Advertisement ESPN's Stephen A. Smith was on that episode of the "PDBD Podcast" and shared he thinks Jordan will be "brutally honest" when he's on the air next season. "Let me tell you something about Michael Jordan: He's going to be brutally honest—oh, I can assure you that,' Smith said. "He's not going to be somebody who's going to be passive…The Michael Jordan I know, when talking basketball, he is as candid as it gets. He ain't trying to hurt nobody's feelings. He ain't trying to be insulting but he's going to tell you what's going on."

KC metro cities preparing for ‘onslaught' of tourists ahead of KC2026

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — We are one year away from the World Cup, and cities all over the Kansas City metro are preparing for the hundreds of thousands of visitors it'll bring to the area. The Raytown Chamber of Commerce is working with businesses and other organizations to prepare for the World Cup. They've created Raytown 2026 soccer scarves to get people excited and show off the city's history to visitors. 'We are preparing for the onslaught of the 650,000 tourists that are going to be in our area, so close to us at Arrowhead Stadium,' Jeff Hirst, the Raytown area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism President, said. Missouri House passes bill to keep Chiefs, Royals in state Hirst touts Raytown's convenience as it is located on the Rock Island Trail with a direct path to the sports complex. 'We have plenty of stadium traffic on any given Sunday that the Chiefs are playing or the Royals, and so we're used to that. We're used to adapting to that. This, however, is going to be something completely different, but we're excited about it,' Hirst said. Tom Hadley owns a bar and grill not far from Arrowhead Stadium. 'We are about two and a half, maybe three miles from the stadium. We get a lot of people who come in when we have football games. They come in from out of town, and they look us up, and they love our food and what's going on over here,' Hadley, the owner of Tom's Bar and Grill, explained. He hopes Tom's Bar and Grill will be a spot where visitors can grab a bite to eat and watch a World Cup match with other soccer fans. COMPLETE COVERAGE: Kansas City hosting 2026 World Cup matches 'The World Cup is going to be huge, and I cannot wait,' Hadley said. Hadley looks forward to learning more about the logistics. Hirst says a lot of those details will be ironed out over the next year. 'Next week, we have a meeting specifically with the bars and restaurants in Raytown to go over best practices, culture differences that they may not be aware of, and other items, marketing-wise, that they would want to take advantage of,' Hirst explained. Raytown will continue those meetings over the next year. Cities all over the metro are taking similar steps to prep for the World Cup and the hundreds of thousands of visitors it will bring.
