Thomas5737 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 As for this game, I predict a Chiefs win, I just think it is their year. I was 0-4 predicting WC round and 4-0 division round so my guesses of Rams/Chiefs in the SB will probably turn into Saints/Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKS97 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think the fact KC got the Arrowhead playoff monkey off their back means they won’t play tight. Maybe A little looser. They won’t have that weighing them down for once IMO, Probably not the most perfect example, but I think back to the 2005 NFC CG somewhat: Seattle had not won a playoff game in 21 years, then got that monkey off their back. They faced a Carolina team that was basically the same team which had made the Super Bowl 2 years prior but were arguably better (+132 point differential, Steve Smith led in every WR category, Delhimme had better numbers, came off a convincing playoff win vs a talented Bears team ). The Seahawks won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I want and will root for the Chiefs to win, but I feel like its inevitable that New England comes prepared, doesn't make mistakes, forces a turnover or two, and when all is said and done, Tom Brady has another Super Bowl appearance.

7DnBrnc53 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Pats usually play much better at home than they should (like yesterday). However, on the road, it usually is a different story. And, KC has been a house of horrors for them. Chiefs will get the ball first, go up 7-0, and get the crowd into it. 31-17, Kansas City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaa1025 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Well, now that the monkey is off the Chiefs back and all the bad voodoo is gone from the losing streak at Arrowhead in the playoffs, hopefully they play and coach looser. I think KC will win this because it's at Arrowhead and the Patriots defense doesn't travel well, much like the Chiefs. I think Mahomes is a better QB than Brady at this point in their careers and the Chiefs pass rush is pretty massive. The Chiefs continued to show that they can pressure the QB against the "best oline in football" last week and they should be able to pressure Brady at home. A lot has changed for the Chiefs since their first matchup as well. The Chiefs had 4 safeties injured and were signing guys the week of to play. I believe Josh Shaw started and he's no longer with the team. Ron Parker and Scandrick were starters and no longer play. Justin Houston was out but is back and and a terror again. Hitchens has looked a lot more comfortable lately and I'm not sure if thats because the scheme has been simplified or if he's learned the complicated scheme that Sutton uses. Oh, and Dorian O'Daniel is an hybrid ILB that is a heat seaking missile that started playing a lot in the second half of the season. The Pats tore the Chiefs up with dump offs because Hitchens/Ragland were too slow; DoD changed everything in this regard. We will see if he's healthy. Oh, and Maybe...Mabye, Berry will grace us with his presence. Also, I don't think Mahomes will be fooled by NE for a half like he was the first game. So, I think KC wins. However, Brady is still the GOAT and BB is still the best coach in football, so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKS97 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 At some point, the talent gap has to factor. New England is basically TB12, BB, and a bunch of guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaa1025 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I didn't realize that New England has a bigger home/road defensive DVOA split than the Chiefs. #1 at home and #31 away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishwars Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 All the neutrals are gonna be pulling for the adorable Pats in this one, hoping scum like Andy Reid and Pat Mahomes get what they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's crazy, biggest swing in the league. Their best eight games by defensive DVOA were all at home. Their offense doesn't play as well on the road either, though their league ranking is better than at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
childofpudding Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I am hopeful that the Patriots can do something to kind of slow down that offense, even if it's only for a quarter or two, and that the Patriots offense continues to roll like it did against the Chargers. Even the Colts should have only been down one score in the 4th if it wasn't for Vinatieri's missed FG and XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarcerated_Scarface Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 For the love of god please win chiefs! I can't watch another SB with the Pats in it. My gut tells me that the Pats will win tho. I love how good the Chiefs are on offense. Mahommes is amazing. I hope they can win this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with @Starless, if the Pats win, it'll because they were able to play smash mouth football with some play action mixed in. I think Michel is going to get a monster workload. It's going to be a tough task on the road, at one of -if not the hardest- places to play in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Pats win on the back of Tom Brady throwing 8 yard dink and dunks over and over and over and over and over. They keep the ball for 38 min. 38-35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
