Infact the only time I've seen anyone pick the Pat's was in this thread with the picture if the picks from an ESPN show. Even majority of picks on Pats sports radio are for the Chiefs. I'm assuming Skip Bayless will pick the Pats.
This is not a bad matchup for the Chiefs it's a bad matchup for the Pats, especially since it's in Arrowhead. Remember this though, 2015 was the Pat's last loss in afccg in the road against what many consider a top 10 all time defense in Denver and Pats put up basically 20 points (18 in reality as both extra points were missed). That was also a very loud environment so I use that as the Pat's threshold. If they scored 20 that day vs that D then they could and should get 30 tomorrow. Chiefs need to score in the 30s to win IMO.....I know that sounds easy the way they played this year, but it won't be!.......

I'll be shocked if the Pats score 30 tomorrow. Justin Houston is playing in another gear, haven gotten almost 70% of his season total in sacks after December 1st. Chris Jones pushed Quentin Nelson around last week and the secondary has improved with the new blood.
The Chiefs haven't given up more than 30 points at home since the 2015 season and this season, they only gave up more than 20 points in 4 of their 8 home games. The highest they gave up was 29 to the Chargers, so if the Patriots score 30, it will be the highest opposing score the Chiefs gave up all season.
Your only hope is to try and limit the Chiefs to like 24-28 points and beat them like the Chargers did. Good luck with that!
