Hey Guys - hope you all are profiting from your wagers while we all await the big game 
Please share your input. I'm open to hearing any feedback you have - good or bad.
Case for KC: KC is going for a back-to-back, something that was last accomplished by Tom Brady (storyline). In the last 3 decades, a team has won 3 times in a decade (Cowboys 90s, Pats 2000s, Pats 2010s) and KC is the likeliest team IMO to accomplish this in the current decade (storyline). Brady losing this game would in a way be "passing of the torch" to the next great (storyline). KC has been the best team in the NFL all year despite their ATS record and have been in every single game, no team has soundly beaten them with their full roster playing. It's undeniable they are the best team in the NFL. If they fall behind (like they did in every single playoff game last year), they have the horses to comeback and win. This gives bettors the comfort of knowing their KC wager is never dead and even if KC falls behind they can get right back in the game. Would any of you feel good if TB falls behind to KC and like the Bucs chances of coming back? This is not Atlanta and Kyle Shanahan they're playing.
Case for TB: It obviously starts with Brady. I couldn't fault a soul for tailing Brady in this game. If TB was able to win 3 straight road games and knock out the top 2 seeds in the conference along the way, they can beat KC. A TB victory would mean defeating KC, NO, and GB in the same postseason in Brady's first year with a new organization, playing in a home stadium super bowl. This would not only be improbable but one of the most unbelievable runs in NFL history. Most already feel he's the G.O.A.T, and a win here would all but cement it for folks (even if Brady throws 3 picks again and TB wins). IMO, there was NOTHING impressive about Brady's play vs. GB, and TB is fortunate to even be here. If a QB throws 3 picks in a road game against the top seed in the conference with a MVP QB, in an overwhelming majority of games, a team with such poor play by their QB would lose. All of these perhaps suggest TB is a team of destiny this year? Perhaps Brady cleans it up and plays very well in this game, which would further help TB's chances of winning?
Injuries and key players: The only ones that come to mind are the O-lineman on KC who tore his Achilles (an important offensive loss) and the return of Antonio Brown (an important offensive gain).
Blitzing Mahomes: Mahomes has been one of the best QBs vs. the blitz all year and teams have paid dearly for doing so. The team speed of KC along with the ability of Mahomes to rush and avoid the blitz is a massive advantage for KC.
Blitzing Brady: Tom Brady is a statue, as immobile as they come, and has performed terrible when the blitz gets to him. That said, his O-line is playing remarkable right now. Can they keep it up?
