AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

At KC.

Who wins?

Your predictions?

What say yea?

EITHER 1 score game where it could be either team or the Chiefs rout. Those are the only two options I see.

I'm going to lean with Chiefs 35 Patriots 30

Mind you, this doesn’t mean anyone thinks the odds are 5-9% the Patriots win. I personally think you have a 30% chance.

I think that there's two pieces here - first - this is a Chiefs forum. We're obviously biased to the better team.

Second - ESPN is garbage. All around hot garbage.

Third - Vegas disagrees with you. Line opened up at Chiefs -3.

Fourth - 5 losses against 4 non-playoff teams, all on the road. Brady can't hack it away from Gisele.

Edit: I replied to the wrong person - meant to reply to the Masshole.

7-1 and 8-0 on the road last two years. So that statement is BS, as expected.

Last year has nothing to do with this year. The Chiefs aren't nearly the same team, and neither are the Patriots.

I think KC is a rolling and the Patriots aren't going to be capable of stopping them at Arrowhead. Our players wanted this rematch after October's game. They know that NE, in Foxboro, had almost a perfect game and still couldn't win without a last second FG.

The home playoff curse is done. It's just a wild house now where Brady already has PTSD... BB's defensive scheme has always been reliant on being able to take away your best option, but with KC, there's so many stellar options that it may work to a fault in some ways, as evidenced by the three 40+ point outputs from KC on NE.

The defense has some lightning in the bottle so to speak, and they are gelling. I've got KC in a game that they will dominate in most if not all phases.

Chiefs 38
Patriots 20

They were 3-5 on the road this season, what are you talking about?

I don't know what the score will be, but when I close my eyes all I can see is the Chiefs playing the Saints in Atlanta.

Guess what—he’s older. And it’s shown. Let’s also not forget his weapons are the weakest he’s possibly ever had, and Gronk is essentially a lineman now.

In the biting cold it is not just about Mahomes' ability to throw the football but also about the whole offense being in sync. I don't expect the offense to get to 30, just a hunch. While Pats road struggles have been real they have been playing well of late only letting up 17 at Pittsburgh to a powerful offense in a playoff type game. I expect them to be better against Mahomes than last time.
It will be a close game with the score being in the low 20s, picking KC to win by a FG but would be nervous as hell if Brady has the ball with a few minutes to play.
It will come down to KC's D against Brady.

RaidersOftheCellar · 01-16-2019, 02:26 AM

Not sure why playing in 10-15 degrees lower than last week is expected to hamper them so much. It’s going to be roughly the same temp as last year in Denver.
