SOV is absolutely useful in looking at the Chiefs and Bills, however because they're in direct competition for playoff seeding.
What hurts Buffalo is their SOS is higher than their SOV. They lost to good teams while beating the Jets twice and teams like the Chargers.
The worst part for the Bills is that they have games remaining against the Patriots and Broncos while the Steelers have Cleveland and Indy.

Thanks. Now I understand why this stat exists.
