FWIW I had the SB as KC vs NO. If I had to pick now, Id pick NE vs NO because I feel the KC defense is still terrible and will doom them again in the playoffs.

New Orleans will be fine especially if they keep racking up wins with Bridgewater.

For the AFC everyone knows its Chiefs Pats. Theres a large gap between them and the 3rd best team. Barring an injury to Mahomes or Brady its almost guaranteed thats who it its going to be in the AFC. They both played not so great games yet still win. Even supposedly good team like the Rams cant do that.

I wouldnt worry about KCs D not being as good as New Englands, it isnt, and it wont be when they meet int he playoffs. New Englands O isnt near as efficient as KCs and while NE D can smother inferior Os its still not an elite D. KC will have no trouble with them and to be fair they will have no trouble with our D, but I feel KCs A game will beat out NEs A game this year.

The Pats are always hard to dismiss because they are good at changing their identity when they need to. All the sudden they become a running team that can rush for 200 yds game controlling the clock. etc. Im still picking Chiefs though.
