Fine if you agree on the side he's taken, but making claims like the Patriots have zero chance of covering and providing no real substantive information brings nothing to the conversation for anyone.
A. Chiefs have played the toughest schedule of all the playoff teams back before the wildcard started.
B. Chiefs offense and elite pass rush have never been stopped, not once. Even in their losses. Meanwhile, the Pats and every other team in the league has looked like garbage at least once. (Saints Offense vs Cowboys, Rams offense vs Bears, Pats offense vs Lions, Pats offense vs Titans, Pats offense vs Steelers, Pats defense vs Jaguars)
C. Mahomes won't have any early game jitters as he had in the last matchup in Foxboro. That game could have easily been a Chiefs blowout.
So to think the Pats defense in the noisiest and arguably toughest stadiums to play in will stop an offense that has never been stopped once so far or a pass rush that took on the best OL group last week and dominated, well they have zero shot at either of those two feats.
So now you are left with only one scenario that the Pats have of covering this game. That is, keeping up in a shootout, on the road in the noisest, hostile stadium there is. Your strength (rushing) will be abandoned when they are down early.
That whole "we're just going to run the ball and keep Mahomes on the bench....." gameplan was uttered by every single DC every week and it has never worked once single time. And trust me the Ravens had the perfect personnel to pull it off and they still failed. Pats have zero chance of playing keep away.
How can you possibly predict whether or not another human being will or won’t have early game jitters in the biggest game of his life? That is absolutely terrible analysis.
Then throughout your multiple posts you use the phrase “zero chance/shot” as if you are some pyscic that can predict the future. Your post is comical and and backed up with no real facts or evidence, simply just your arrogant opinion of what you think will happen.
How bout for fun we throw a few facts out there just to mix it up a little bit.
Fact 1 - The Patriots have a huge coaching edge in this game.
Belichick- 5 Super Bowl Wins, 8-4 In AFC Championship Games
Reid- 0 Super Bowls - 1-4 in Conference Championship Games
Fact 2 - No team in NFL history has given up 400 yards per game or more and won the Super Bowl, EVER! Chiefs gave up 405 yards per game this year.
Fact 3 The Chiefs are 5-4 ATS at Home this year which is 10th best in the NFL. Hardly the toughest place to play based on those numbers.
The Patriots are one of the best dynasties in professional sports history. The fact that you say they have 0 chance to win is laughable. I have no idea who will win tomorrow but anytime I can get Belichick vs a coach with a shaky playoff track record like Reid, I’m certainly giving the Pats a strong chance to cover and win. They are a team that can never being counted out, let alone given zero chance to win.
Bingo!
