I'm a homer, so take this for what you want. I'm only posting cause I am excited for my team in the first time in years. I'm not trying to sway someone in one direction or the other.
The Brady Era is over, and major respect to the man but it's time for the Hall Of Famer to pass the torch. I dont need to tell you what the buzz is like around KC, its wild, twice as hyped as it was when the Royals went to and won the world series. I also dont need to tell you how good Mahomes is, if theres any question, you should seriously check your eyes, ears, and all other vitals, just in case. I dont need to tell you that this kid has led KC to their first home playoff win in 25 years. What I do think I need to bring to everyone's attention (or the ones who are missing it) is KC's defense at home. Yes KC defense could be tons better, but holding opponents to about 18 points at home, and getting to the QB just as well/if not better then any team in the league has been our bread and butter at home. And our pride and joy Eric Berry will be playing....if you dont think this means something to KC defense then you're crazy. Yes it's going to be cold and it makes me sick that people bring up Mahomes in the cold.....do they know it's been cold here the whole winter? The man practices every day in it....you really think hes not going to be prepared for it? That's crazy to me, but again I know nothing, I'm a homer.
We all know how good both these QBS are, but let's look at Pats defensive outings on the road. This is in no way considering how much better and more explosive KC's offense is compared to these teams that will be listed...... Patriots D on the road gave up 31 to the Jags (really? didnt know Jags knew what offense stood for) 26 to Detroit, 31 to Da Bears, 34 to Remember the Titans, and another 34 to the Dolphins. Yes I'm missing a few games where they held Buffalo (who gives a f) to 6, and Jets (lol) to the 13. Yeah yeah I know, different circumstances, different things on the line, different weather, etc etc.....I dont care! Now lets flip sides, let's look at KC's offense at home......KC put up 38 on 49ers, 30 on Jags, 45 on Bengals, 30 on Denver, 26 on the Cards, 27 on Ravens (best d in the league?) 45 on the Raiders, and 31 on the Colts. It doesnt take a math wiz to look at the numbers and see it's slightly lopsided. Yeah I know, most of that is out the window this weekend, but is it?
Arrowhead will be loud and Bradys record of 1-2 @ Arrowhead will soon be 1-3. This will not be a 83 point game as it was in Foxborough, defense will be key here, and a homer or not, I KNOW KC's offense will put up enough points to win, and I also know KC's D will hold Brady and Co more than enough to cover the spread.
I have about 26k in my offshore right now, and I'm putting it all on KC -3. No need to buy down. No need to play money line. My Chiefs will roll and Brady will hand over the torch to the kid.
Pats 17 Chiefs 31
This will not be a close game.
I dont need you to tell me how stupid it is to put everything on one game, or a homer to bet on his own team. If I cared, I wouldn't do it, but I'm looking to double up, book a vacation for me and the lady, maybe get SB tickets if I can find them for decent.
We here! And its time mah fukkas!
GL to all
