Everyone's excited about championship weekend as the winners of Sunday's games will advance to the Super Bowl. Former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden picked between the Patrick Mahomes-led Kansas City Chiefs and Josh Allen led Buffaloe Bills to win the AFC Championship Game.

Though considering himself part of the Bills Mafia, Gruden is backing the defending Super Bowl Champions, which means he is picking Mahomes' unit over Allen's.

"I'm a proud member of the Bills Mafia, I love what the Bills have done. They find ways to win. But, the green team, the green team are the Kansas City Chiefs in the fourth quarter... The Green Team gets it done for the Chiefs 23-20 in a game that is going to be decided late," Gruden said.

The Chiefs are looking to be the first team in Super Bowl history to win three consecutive titles and a win here would clinch a spot in the game. This is also a chance for the Chiefs to avenge their 30-21 road loss during the regular season to the Bills.

If Gruden is correct and the Chiefs do win, it will become the first time in NFL history that one quarterback (Patrick Mahomes) will have a 4-0 postseason record against another quarterback.

How has Patrick Mahomes done this postseason?

The Kansas City Chiefs were awarded the bye in the AFC wild-card round as they held the best record in the AFC. As a result, they have only played one game this postseason up to this point.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes stepped up against the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Game. He completed 16-of-25 passes for 177 yards with one passing touchdown while also running seven times for 14 yards.

Mahomes has played 19 postseason games in his career (16-3), completing 472-of-697 (67.7%) passes for 5,312 yards with 42 passing touchdowns and eight interceptions.
