If you believe the Patriots have a final run in them, this is the time to buy them. Coming off back to back losses, before they instill confidence back in the public by beating the shit out of the Bills and the Jets and getting the #2 seed after the Texans blunder in the final two weeks.
I don't trust an Andy Reid team with a young quarterback in a playoff game against Brady. KC is a great team, but they've lost their three biggest games this year. And as good as Mahommes has been all year, and for the majority of those close losses, he has made some costly mistakes. I'll take Brady even if it's in Arrowhead.
The Chargers are a better overall team than the Patriots, but again I trust Brady and Bill to get it done in a cold game in Foxborough (assuming KC gets the 1 seed and the Chargers advance to that point).
Pittsburgh is a talented group, but history shows us that going to New England in January doesn't bode well for them--and their coach is deficient to the point where he can single-handedly lose you a game .
I really don't see any of the other potential playoffs teams as a threat. The Texans are...well....the Texans lol. Indy is playing well, but they're way too dependent on Luck. It seems like they go as he goes (see the last two weeks). Baltimore has had a more versatile offense without Flacco, but can you imagine Lamar Jackson going into Gillette Stadium and getting a win? Seriously?
As for the actual Super Bowl if they get there...well...anything can happen.
It may all backfire, but I think it's worth taking a shot.
