might be getting a nor'easter early-Saturday,....35-mph/winds with snow/rain......acc. to tonight's boston/weathermen.,.....*bettors/beware*,...that's probably why the O/U is only 42.5...?!

.....Go PATRIOTS....!

I'd like the Chiefs to win this game, and I think the matchups point to them winning, but I just know that Brady is going to win this one.

As much as Brady can play in bad weather I think this helps the Chiefs. Maybe it will slow down the pass rush.

This will all depend upon which Pats team shows up.



I'm leaning toward them righting the ship and taking care of business on Saturday.

...and no, that's not Andrew Luck

I'm leaning that way too ... and to help, I'll have a few beers in me by halftime wondering if I should keep any for next week ...

Definitely Advantage Chiefs...This is a team that literally has ZERO receivers on their roster if Maclin is out

Belichick has spent all week making sure Travis Kelce doesnt have 3 catches

No idea how that teams scores

Shocking analysis

 

[NEhomer]

Well sorry that I didn't break it wide open like you triple dick.

No shit

As a long time Chiefs fan


*cough*

I think the key to the game is getting Tom Brady off his point. Whenever a good Tom Brady team loses in the playoffs, its generally due to a team giving him pressure without blitzing too much. Both teams defenses match up with what the other team's offense likes to do and barring that one bizarre Chiefs-Broncos game earlier in the season, neither team turns the ball over much.

Don't be too surprised to see another 10-9 type of game coming down to FG kicking. Both kickers are fairly good though you'd have to imagine that the NE kicker has more arctic kicking experience.

They will knock the snot out of Brady, and Brady will be yelling at his teammates all day

But how will the Cheifs find the end zone?

Thats my issue here

Its hard to tell. I think advanced defensive statistics for the Patriots are meaningless because they change so much but Andy Reid is just as good at putting random guys out on offense as Bill Bellichick is at putting random guys out on defense. Spencer Ware is averaging 5.6 yards a carry this season.

Another thing of note: New England has only played a couple of good offenses all season long. Their D might be slightly overrated despite potentially being more healthy and having a real homefield advantage.

Is the expectation that Maclin will be out?
