BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) \u2014 There is no place like Bills Country, where bits of red, white and blue can be seen at every corner of Western New York.<\/p>\n

The Wegmans at McKinley Parkway was no different.<\/p>\n

More than 100 people with Bills merchandise lined up to meet star Bills player Dion Dawkins, ahead of the most anticipated game of the season: Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n

\"'That<\/figure>\n

“I do know that we’re going to go out there and put on our best fight and performance as the Buffalo Bills. McDermott has done a great job of preparing us but we’re going to go ahead and do what we do, which is perform,” Bills Offensive Tackle Dion Dawkins said.<\/p>\n

Lifelong Bills fans shared their game predictions.<\/p>\n

\"'That<\/figure>\n

Dee Dee McDade: “We are going to beat KC. We’re tired of them trying to beat us.”<\/p>\n

\"'That<\/figure>\n

Amy Lynn Minias: “I think it’s going to be a close game like maybe 24 to 28 or something like that. Hopefully, it won’t go into overtime.”<\/p>\n

\"'That<\/figure>\n

Braden Violanti: “Oh, the Bills are going to crush the Chiefs 25-0.”<\/p>\n

\"'That<\/figure>\n

Elsie Andrews: “We hope they win 40 something to 15.”<\/p>\n

While these lucky fans spent the night with Dawkins, the party started in Buffalo’s Black Rock Neighborhood at the only Chiefs backers bar in Western New York; Casey’s Black Rock, on Amherst Street.<\/p>\n

Many of the fans I met, flew in on Thursday and Friday for a full weekend. Some stepped into Western New York for the very first time.<\/p>\n

“I want to see how rowdy the Buffalo fans get,” Chiefs fan Brryan Paige.<\/p>\n

Paige is a Kansas City native but flew in from California, where he now resides, to watch the game on the East Coast in person.<\/p>\n

\"'That<\/figure>\n

Others called Buffalo a top destination for NFL games and called for their return to the Queen City.<\/p>\n

“It’s really about bringing out friends back to Buffalo to experience this and to just keep up the vibes,” Chiefs fan Scott Harlan said.<\/p>\n

He flew into Buffalo with his wife Becky Connally.<\/p>\n

Each member of Chiefs Kingdom told me they are looking for another win as the Bills with an 8 to 2 season record take on the undefeated Chiefs.<\/p>\n

“This game means everything for the playoffs, who gets the number one seed. That could mean everything to make it to the Super Bowl for the three-peat,” Harlan added.<\/p>\n

\"'That<\/figure>\n

Paige said, “We know every time they play, it’s been exciting, fun and scary. Unfortunately, we haven’t won every time but when it counted, we got the dub.”<\/p>\n

It is safe to say a rivalry that redeveloped in 2020, is still alive and well this weekend in Bills Country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
