Pats are 0 and 4 in playoff games on the road. They were 3 and 5 on the road during the regular season. I like our chances.

The Chi is gonna get pounded. Pray for Impy and his bag of salt.

I’d never start a rook in a title game. No way. I don’t are how much of a wunderkind he is. Nothing personal but I’d want a veteran under center - that’s why Baltimore lost.

Rookie quarterback in a title game? Never happen they win.

Brady was enrolling in Michigan the year Mahomes was born.

Mahomes is in his second year.

Okay if one of you gents can post the picture of Andy Reid from Powerline’s Week in Pictures I would be most grateful.

It’s about the ninth one down.

And a weather report from KC the big storm, at least in my part of KC was a fizzle. Sunday weather is high if 25 with slight winds about 5mph and a low of 20. I am just west of downtown KC FWIW.

Thanks for the assist!

Conference championship weekend! We are down to three games left in the season. So here we go.

Saints - Rams. While the Rams looked great last week I am still not sold on them. The difference being Drew Brees vis a vis Jared Goff. I'm taking the older more experienced Brees ... and Sean Payton ... versus flavor-of-the-month Sean McVay. Plus it's a great advantage to New Orleans to have this game in The Dome. Saints.

Patriots - Chiefs. I simply cannot pick against Belichick and Brady ... Yes they are on the road and have not performed well in such situations in the past. And yes Mahomes and the Chiefs have all the weapons necessary. But they also have Andy Reid who is experienced in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The Killer Bs from Foxboro will come up with the plan to get things done. Patriots.

Good luck to everyone!

Hey Impy and anyone else who might be interested, here’s a brief summary of my stuff and what I think should be each team’s offensive game-plan based on run/pass avg yards per attempt over the regular season.

1. I’m picking the Saints and the Chiefs because they were the two best regular-season net-scoring teams. (BTW, the Saints were the best and should win the Super Bowl.)
2. The four teams have the top four scoring offenses in the NFL.
3. The four teams also have defensive categories that are are among the worst in the NFL.
4. Because the AFC teams have the second and fifth worst defenses against the run, both AFC teams should mostly run contrary to what we’ll probably hear most pundits say.
5. Because the Rams have the WORST run defense in the NFL, the Saints should run about half the time.
6. Because the Saints have the third worst defense against the pass, the Rams should mostly pass which they should be inclined to do anyway.
7. So contrary to the fact of having four of the top QB’s and offenses in the NFL, the two AFC teams should mostly run and the Saints should run about half the time.

You heard it here first.

Heh, Belly Button Chick:

After today's second game, you will be drooling all over this guy (going to the Super Bowl).

Brady and his boys are great and are playing well ...... but this young man and his cohorts will prevail.

I'm nearly always right..... /s

No one beats Mahomes today as Alabama could not handle Lawrence in the NCAA.

This is a trend ..... the very young geniuses are moving in and taking over ..... and it is a beautiful thing. (jmo)

If my sweet innocent and pure belly button girl drools over him, it’s because his hair reminds her of her favorite banana bread muffin at the Chat ‘N Chew cafe.

LOL ....... I'm getting hungry around here.

Enjoy the games. (I think Patrick is fantastic and very cool under any pressure.)

Have a pleasant Sunday!!

[ColdOne]

I think this will be a good game. Both teams are very good this year.
