Let's talk about the Colts

That’s our best chance to neutralize.

Well they love to run trap plays with Nelson, letting him pull inside and wham the 1 technique. That will likely be Nnadi, and I have confidence that he will at least be able to plug the hole with his power.

Then it’s up to the ILBs to bring the same energy they had last week and attack the LOS. Jones could also make a difference by shooting his gap into the backfield to disrupt the RBs path whenever Nelson pulls inside.

Smith and that line shut out Watt and Clowney just yesterday. They had no sacks and one fluke int that Watt tipped while running the ball for over 200 yards.

Smith is playing almost as well as Nelson.

The heart and soul of that line is Ryan Kelly, though. One of the best centers in the league.

I really think this game is gonna be a crazy shootout. I feel like neither team’s pass rush will be a factor and both Luck/Mahomes will put up 300+.

Probably will come down to turnovers, and Luck has a habit of making some gimme throws. Hopefully our defense can actually make plays.

[St. Patty's Fire]

Also I hope people don’t flip out if we’re down early, moments like the 4th and 9 can’t be experienced without some serious butt clenching beforehand.

If the moron Colts fan is going to cherry pick a bunch of stats since they started playing against dog shit teams and QBs, here’s one right back at ya.

KC’s defense allows 18 ppg at home. Get ****ed bub.

[DreamCatcher]

As a colt fan my main worry is Kelce. We have nobody to matchup with him. Hooker will play deep side where ever hill is. I think colts best chance to win is to establish the run early and that should open up play action.

Think this is why people are scared.

Betting Trends to Know

The Chiefs have now made the playoffs for a fourth consecutive season under Andy Reid. Only one other coach in Chiefs history has accomplished that feat: Marty Schottenheimer.

Since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, the Chiefs are 4-16 straight up and 3-17 against the spread in the playoffs, including 0-9 against the spread at home.

The Colts and Chiefs have faced off four times previous to this week in the playoffs, Indianapolis is 4-0 SU and ATS, with two of those four losses for Kansas City coming at home in Arrowhead Stadium.

For the 14th time his career, Andrew Luck faces a team on the road who is on extended rest (eight or more days): Luck is 9-4 (69.2%) against the spread, making him the most profitable quarterback in the NFL in this spot since he was drafted No. 1 overall in 2012 NFL Draft.

Andrew Luck is a gay ginger...

Goddamnit

If the Colts could dominate a Texans run defense that allowed just 3.4 yards per carry during the regular season, what will they do to a Chiefs run defense that allowed 5.0 yards per carry? https://t.co/YUHIHRwFCt

We had the MVP under center multiple times in the 2000s. This chiefs team reminds me so much of those colts team. Best offense in the league but a defense that wasn't fit to take the field.

You may be right, you may be wrong.

But you’re a damn fool if you think the Colts defense is ready to make a run itself.

Good thing we have Mahomes then...

[CantBeStopped]

And I have no hatred towards the chiefs. I'm here to back up my team. If yall beat us i hope you guys can win it all. My brother is a chargers fan and I love giving him shit when you guys beat them

[R Clark]

Did that colt DEFENCE lead the NFL in sacks?

[RunKC]

It’s imperative that we jump out to a lead early. We need to make these guys one dimensional so we can use the strength of our pass rush to try to get to Luck.

We don’t want them in a position to run and burn clock.
