I went Chiefs +2.5 and Chiefs ML each for a unit. One thing I don’t like is KC was really on a roll….really out there grinding and winning and that was before the real playoffs even started. This week off might…..disrupt that.
Besides that, I like the chiefs in every way. I like how chiefs offense matches up with the niner D. Especially the last 5-6 games where they have been horrid. Only the mighty Redskins afforded the niners D a game like people perceive them.
Another perception was the AFC was much deeper, but the TOP of the NFC was the real standouts……and we see what came of the Eagles and Cowboys. We see this hideous lions D giving up 450 yards every game. IMO seeing the reality of the NFC is another perception that I think was shattered in just the last couple weeks.
Chiefs D…..yea SF can probably run on them if they truly come out to pound the rock 40/50x…..but I just don’t think they will. On the other side though, we will see KC run the ball and control things. Like most of the playoffs, I think we see an efficient chiefs offense.
I think they get a lead and nurse it home. SF lives on big plays. We watched them week after week pop off these giant game changing plays and I don’t think this Spagonola D allows it. All year they have been great at avoiding those damaging big plays, and I think they do the same Sunday.
Two good coaches so I think it will be one of those shortened kind of games. 21-17 or 20-14 or 24-21. Two very good well coached teams doing what they do. Limited possessions and all that.
That’s my 2 cents. Enjoy the game, win or lose. This was a great year and I don’t want it to end…….gonna be agony until Sept 5th.
