I'm calling it pretty much a coin toss.

If the Pats that played last Sunday show up, I'm confident. If it's the clown show that tossed away a win at Miami, I'm not so sure.

Or the one that lost in Detroit or Nashville. I "think" they are past those but one never knows for certain.

I personally think that the biggest advantage for the Pats will be the cold weather. Brady has been playing in it for 20 years if you count Michigan and has great stats in it, while not sure how Mahomes will do. Saw how Goff did in Chicago , Luck in KC etc etc, it's a completely different animal. If this was in the South or in high altitude like Denver, I would give NE very little chance to win

The cold weather affects the kicking game a good deal since kicking the ball becomes like kicking a rock.

Mahomes is the question. Is he as good as he looks or do we have another RG3 on our hands? Sunday will be telling.

They are both Chevy's , one is a corvette and the other is a chevette. Mahomes threw 50tds and 5k yards, it would take RG3 about 3 careers to reach those no#s.


Another fun stat is we have 2 Qb's that threw 50 tds in a season, doubt we ever had 2 40 td guys in a CG before

The Dr looks like he cleared himself to play. Chiefs 2nd best olinemen might be reinserted into the lineup...or not. The unit played really well against Indy AFAIK.

Tough luck with the weather. Sunday is the only day with the frigid temps.

30's all week up til Saturday. Mid 20's on Saturday. 10 on Sunday. Then back up to the 30's on Monday.

Agree with first part. Miami game was a fluke with many stupid mistakes on defense. What I don’t want to see is the complete butt-whipping the team got last time they played in Arrowhead.

Mahomes is not fluke player and very difficult to plan against, given he can make practically any play. If BB and defense figure it out, I will be shocked.

There will be a super blood moon on the night of the game. May be visible if the game gets into overtime; and clear.

Probably meaningless stat: Andy Reid played TE for the Packers when they beat the Pats in SB, many years ago ...
