KC

So...

Who are you picking...?

[Jack Black]

I don't think I'm qualified to advise you: but *51 Points* in a playoff game. That's is a powerful offense.

How good is the Titan's Defense? To have any chance they have to be great, and able to stop KC.

[mware]

My heart says one thing, the stats say another.

Titans over Chiefs.

49er's over over GB.

[circlecity]

Going to be a great sports weekend. Connor MacGregor is back Saturday night in feature 5 round UFC bout against Cowboy Cerone. Then NFL Conference Championship football on Sunday. Yowsah!

Chiefs/Niners

[big'ol_freeper]

Bender you are right, my dang Packers will win and be in the Super Bowl

...to put a woopin on your dang old Dallas Texans!

Impy, change my pick to Packers over the 49ers.

[zzeeman]

Here we go, Championship Weekend!

[Impy]

After careful consideration, Chiefs.

And Niners.

[Jim W N]

Here’s how they match up:

#4 KC V. #8 Titans

When KC has the ball:
KC # 3 Off,....... 4th in Pass...........20th in Run
Titans #12 Def, 19th against Pass, 7th against the Run

When the Titans have the ball:
Titans #10 Off, 1st in Pass,..........3rd in Run
KC #7 Def,.......5th against Pass, 21st against Run

- KC should pass almost all the time (shouldn’t be a problem for them)
- Titans should run most of the time (which they seem inclined to do)
KC is favored per my stats, but the matchup suggests an upset is very possible.

#3 SF v. #9 GB

When SF has the ball:
SF #2 Off,... 3rd in Pass,............... 8th in Run
GB #9 Def, 19th against the Run, 24th against the Run

When GB has the ball:
GB #15 Off, 17th in Pass,..............16th in Run
SF #8 Def,......1st against the Pass, 23rd against the Run

- SF should mix Pass and Run pretty evenly.
- GB should Run mostly (not likely)
SF is favored per my stats and the matchp doesn’t suggest an upset.

Enjoy.

Re: Bender you are right, my dang Packers will win and be in the Super Bowl... to put a woopin on your dang old Dallas Texans! Impy, change my pick to Packers over the 49ers.

It is good to see, Big... that you saw the enlighten genius of Bendy's post--

However, that your Packers can beat Bendy's Old Dallas Texans... it is not supported by my calculation E=MC² whereas E is for the Eventual winning score equals Mahomes Catches by his 2 best receivers Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill.

So, spllllut!... to your Packers chances against Bendy's Old Dallas Texans.

Big? Christopher Walken here... to tell you that Bendy is right. Crazy-- Packers defense cannot hold the Chiefs. They do not have enough cowbells to turn the trick.

Errol here, Big, old sport... Kansas City is on a roll like me at an all girls school.

Bendy was right when he told me to wait 24-hours... before launching D-Day and he's right about the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl.

In the Super Bowl Patrick Mahomes shot a Packer... in his pajamas-- How that cheese head got in Patrick's PJs I'll never know!

There are 7 words you cannot say on TV today... and they are Packers Beat Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

Now, now, Big... while Aaron is a real bobcat in the sack, my money's on the Chiefs in the Super Bowl--

I agree with Big... and then a Kansas City Chief shot me in the head with an arrow. And I was reborn a poor black child and that was the best career move ever!

Well, I guess there is not... anything left to say--

[Jack Black]

Great analysis. Thanks!

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

My thinking exactly. The Packers need to take the lead and stay ahead - not likely against the Niners.

I've lost twice to the Titans in these playoffs, this time I'm even more certain.

KC & 9ers

[Jim W N]

Thanks Jack.

I get a kick out of this stuff. I have that analysis on my lap while I’m watching the game just to remind myself of what to expect and where things are. I find it helps me understand more what’s going on (or sometimes, what SHOULD be going on). My favorites are based on scoring stats, not who I’m for.

Of course I’m rooting for my beloved Niners who happen this year to line up statistically. GO NINERS!

South Florida’s favorite son and The Tennessee Titans are heading to Miami...

To be joined by...

Relax.. Mr. Rodgers and the Norris Division Champion Green Bay Packers will be partying in South Beach...

“And with the 3rd pick, the Detroit Lions select out of the University of Iowa, Defensive Tackle Alexander George Karras.”

[Mama Shawna]

GO CHIEFS
GO 9ERS

That is all.

[campaignPete R-CT]

"Yes, imp! Count me annoyed. We are playing host here in KC and all I get is this brief cameo ... Belly Girl was eliminated weeks ago! 8-8? Too much camera time for her. Send her on a vacation far away."



"My Nashville Titan Vols are taking the Orange past Kapernick, blackface and Schumer! We've given u plenty to talk about. Lotta believers on the thread! "

"Here in northern Cali, the waiting is the hardest part. Finally get a Packers game that's not 10 a.m. and they keep me offstage all afternoon. Am I a bit of a freak for being a California Packer? Yes."

[Jim W N]

Hey who’s that mascot for the Chiefs (on the goal post after that last PAT)?

What is that supposed to be?

[darkangel82]

Too late with this, but I picked KC beforehand. Niners for the NFC but Pack will make it a good game.

[Impy]

? I never heard of it.

Anyway, Big Chief Andy can taste it now......him with a bib on and a knife and fork should be the mascot!
