Should be a good game, go Pats!

Hey Philly fans you got any dog masks we can borrow?

Not like you'll be using them the rest of this season.

Chiefs are 3 point favorites according to the Vegas odds.... Brutally cold weather probably playing a factor...

Chiefs are 3 point favorites according to the Vegas odds.... Brutally cold weather probably playing a factor...

The line seems purely based on how the Patriots have played on the road this year.

11pt loss to the Jaguars
16pt loss to the Lions
7pt win to the Bears
19pt win to the Bills
24pt loss to the Titans
14pt win to the Jets
1pt loss to the Dolphins
7pt loss to the Steelers

-17 point differential

Yup he is.

I once had a minor surgical procedure that required an overnight stay after the operation. I came to in my room and the guy next to me starts trying to convert me into a mormon.... I was unable to get away and he went on and on and on.

Much better when you can slam the front door in their faces....

20 years ago, true story, one of my brothers saw 2 suit wearing Jehovah Witness's soliciting his neighborhood. When they rang his bell, he came to the door naked and said "can I help you, sure you guys don't want to come inside?" They did about face and didn't try to convert him?

Hmmm AFC thread is already 11 pages.

NFC thread is still on page ONE.

NFC fans where you at?

Lol

Fuck I hope NE wins...

Really fucking badly.

Won't happen again - Clete Blakeman is the referee du jour. Pats are 3-5 under his watchful eye.

I was having revelations about this cokesacker today.

Reading I recalled he was the turd who let Luke Kuechly mug Gronk in the endzone.

And he's the Deflategate ref.

Now I really fucking hate him.

Fuck I hope KC wins...

Really fucking badly.

Me too. Chiefs fans have suffered as bad as any fanbase.

I don't think anyone would argue that the Chiefs have the more talented roster. But I just can't pick them.

I've been spending the last few days trying to convince myself the Chiefs sheer talent will overwhelm them but I still see somehow Brady and Belichick pulling something out of their asses to get back to another Super Bowl

I'm not so sure this time. There is always a chance with BB and TB, but KC really is the superior team.

KC can beat themselves with mistakes, not sure the Pats can outright beat the Chiefs.

I don't think KC's team is that much better but Pats road woes to the likes of Detroit, Jax, Tenn ,Pitt and Miami ,all non playoff teams Yikes

San Diego had a better roster than New England and the Patriots found a way to win that by a lot.

Most of the number suggesting that the Pats D is beatable is based on the idea that their pass rush stinks. If the Pats pass rush shows up then they're the best team in the league.

Should be a good game, go Pats!

Brady has multiple playoff experience and Mahomes has none.

I'm not quite sure if a cake reward is good or bad and besides the only cake I really like is my special herbal carrot cake and I wouldn't share that.....

 

[Clayton]

As a side note, If Brady can go into KC with insane weather and noise conditions, the Super Bowl is going to seem like a vacation by comparison. I think this is a way tougher game for NE than a neutral site game against the Saints or Rams but maybe thats just me.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Pretty optimistic the Chiefs will win on Sunday if Berry is playing. Would love it if O'Daniel could play and make life not so easy on the Pats' RB's.

Weather seems to have been 'upgraded' to 19-20 degrees. So...normal winter outdoor game
