i wonder if hes going to ham it up on the jumbotron?

AFC sure is

NFC needs to actually win more games for that argument. Its not the 90s anymore

I think the disparity is pretty evident this particular season

At the QB spot but a lot of the good QBs in the NFC don't have great rosters. Watching Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees carry mediocre teams every year is impressive, though

 

[DJ Fieri]

Football is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Whats the total Tonight?
Anyone?

I gotta get some $$$$ into the account, and bet the over

Chiefs very seldom get blown out. I think people are being a bit presumptuous predicting an outright blowout.

repeating myself, but I feel a game much like the Texans playoff game vs NE

A game that "feels" close, but we all look up late in the 3rd and see NE up 3 scores somehow

And that somehow will probably be because Chiefs are turning their drives into 3, and NE is turning theirs into 7

Chiefs are a much better offense than the Texans, but I get where you're coming from.

Absolutely no question about that

2014-L: 20-33
2013-W: 23-21
2012-W: 34-13
2011-W: 38-24
2010-W: 38-24
2009-W: 25-24
2008-W: 17-10 (Brady injured)
2007-W: 38-14
2006-W: 19-17

2002-W: 30-14
2001-L: 17-23 (without Brady)

So 4 straight years they've either lost, or won by one-score

 

[Fountain City Blues]

What are the real, legit chances that the Chiefs win this game? I don't think there is any chance but you never know sometimes.

Like 20-30% I'd probably say. Which is very low for a team that has a good argument for being #2 or 3 in the AFC and solidly within the top 10/8 or so in the NFL.

2 or 3 in the AFC? Seriously? Jeez. I have some question marks on the Chiefs. Running game, receiving corps. End of October-Early November schedule is TOOUUUGH. Steelers, @ Raiders, Broncos, @ Cowboys, @ Giants. Could be 5 straight losses right there. I see them fighting for a WC spot but not for a bye in the playoffs.

brady also has an 88 career rating vs KC...much of that lowered thanks to the game that started our second run.

6 games

9 TD's
7 Picks

4-2 record

in his last game vs KC here in 2015, brady went:

28-42
302 yards
2 TD's
103.5 rating
won 27-20

the last regular season game between KC and NE in gillette:

34-3 pats

Pats take this, but I think more along the lines of 31-21.

I legitimately don't care about schedules for the most part unless it has Patriots or Steelers on there. And even then I don't care much. The entire division is probably losing to the Pats and so are the Steelers, am I really rustled if the Chiefs lose to the Pats? I'd say no.

Gonna make these blurby since I need to get out the door.

Rundown of the AFC:

AFCEast:

Pats

If you think any of the other 3 are better, you may need a drug test

AFC South:

Only better roster you could start arguing with is the Titans

Watson has given nobody a reason to think he's an upgrade over savage at this point in time. Adjust accordingly until proven otherwise.

AFC West:

Raiders have an argument- I think it's pretty weak and exaggerated, but I digress and will make this blurby as I need to get out the door

Broncos are starting Siemian- pretty hard to take them seriously as a contender in the AFC right now; just an annoying spoiler team

Chargers; they're the Chargers, always curve down given their total inability to find a roster that can stay healthy; bonus points for 1st year head coach. An argument exists, but it becomes hard to justify when underachievement is the norm from these guys.

AFC North:

Steelers; pretty good argument, they at minimum have the Chiefs number

Ravens are a newp

Ditto with the Bengals and supernewp for the Browns
