I said Pats by 3 maybe even in OT.
In past years when it was all Bradys arm I probably would have said KC by 2 scores.
This team has a different identity and offense now, and that offense is clicking at the right time and it’s one that the Chiefs defense don’t match up well with. They rank last or close to last in average drive length allowed, plays per drive allowed and points per drive allowed. Pats have a really good chance at slowing this game down, flipping the script on what other teams have done to this one over the years.
Defensive battle. 5-2 Pats in overtime.

They are clicking at the right time, at home. If they had a road game in there where they also looked great then I could completely buy into this narrative. Last road game we played we scored 10 points. This team has proven all year that they can't be trusted to win on the road. Now maybe you're right and they just have it all figured out and we will look the same on the road that we looked in our last few games or so at home.... But I have to see it to believe it. Playing well at home is really nothing new for this team. It's the road that's the issue. Just my two cents.

Chiefs defense isn't that great which will allow the Pats to control the ball and frustrate Reid and Mahomes who both want to throw every down. Bill will pull the rope a dope and give them the run to prevent the big plays. If the Chiefs start selling out to stop the run Brady will play action. I took the Pats by 2 points. Would it surprise me if KC won? No. Would it shock me if KC won big? Yes. If the Pats turn the ball over or if they lose somebody on the OL all bets are off. A lot of struggles on the OL are what led to a lot of their issues earlier in the year. It's like Karas coming in for Neil in SB42. They're just not nearly as good as the starters. So that's my biggest fear.
What makes you so certain the Chiefs will win? I don't think there's anything to suggest this is going to be a certainty like you're saying.
easy......kareem hunt and his 431 yards and 4 TD's over 2 games are gone Hill didn't kill the Pats, Hunt did
couple that with a chiefs defense that could not force the pats to punt.....and a defense that is worse against the run now than it was earlier in the season.
add to that until something changes, the chiefs are a playoff doormat.....over 40 years, the Jets have had more playoff success
You're either a jokester, a lousy prognosticator, or just a lost puppy.
You should have also included in your nice little narrative that you picked the Chargers to blow us out last week. Right amigo?
