Close. I wasn't expecting OT though, could've gone both ways.
Arrowhead was impressive; not Mile High Stadium difficult, but still very loud.

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

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.

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.

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.

[Rausch]

I don't think it's close.

31-17...

It's going to be 1 degree at game time. So I don't expect a big passing game from either side. This is going to be one of those "grind it out" ball games.

Chiefs 9, NE 3

The forecast changed this morning. For the first several days of this week, the Sunday forecast was to be bitterly cold. Now, it shows 18 degrees at kickoff with a 5mph wind. While that is still cold, it's not arctic, unbearable cold like was originally forecast.

I use the NWS and only the NWS. They have been by far the most accurate over the last 5 years or so, for my area.

Yesterday they were forecasting 11 for the high. Today, they're forecasting 11 for the low. Once we hit 3 days out, they'll post their best forecast and you can probably count on that one being spot on.
