I made this topic early because of how eager I was to tell everyone about the ESPN hit piece set to come out tomorrow on the Patriots that will detail the severe rift between Brady, Belichick, and Kraft.

Of course, I expect nothing less than completely unbiased reporting from known Patriots lover ESPN.

So it turned out the tickets to the Chiefs game weren't selling, and prices were dropping fast, so I guess now I'm going to another Chiefs playoff game if they're gonna sell upper-deck lower row sideline tickets for $50 apiece.

Why wouldn't people want to go to this particular playoff game? The Chiefs actually SHOULD win this one!

Yeah that's the thing. I went to the Chiefs/Ravens game 8-ish years ago when everyone knew we sucked and that we were gonna get trounced and it was more expensive than this. I guess 2 home playoff wins in 46 years does that to a fanbase.

So, that article.

I'm not really sure what to believe. It's kind of common knowledge that Brady's health guy is a hack, and the TB12 stuff does seem kind of...culty as the article puts it.

I could also see Belichick being angry about Kraft forcing him to trade Jimmy G true, but I feel like that's something that happens with players and coaches on every team.

Then there's stuff like players calling Brady "sir" that's just like what?

I haven't actually read the article but I've seen enough of people quoting it that it seems like while there are truths there, some of it sounds crazy.

Cowbous definitely would not either. Jerry and Belichick would be constantly clashing, and Jerry loves his authority too much.

If Bellicheck leaves Brady wins 5 games next year... TOPS.

And that's only because the defense and offense are still incredible and Gronk makes him look much better than he is.

Once they leave, 2-14 year after.

I mean, I'm not gonna say these are right or wrong, but it's absolutely in the Patriots' interest to deny these allegations no matter where they fall on the scale of truthiness

it would have been more surprising for them to not say anything

Expecting a home team sweep this weekend.

TEN,ATL,BUF are all weak and have no chance.
CAR has a chance tho, but will go with Saints not wanting to go out like this.

I think Buffalo has a puncher's chance and the most important player on the field for Buffalo is Blake Bortles.

If anyone is going to win the game for the Bills, it's him.

I expect this first game to be a barely watchable slog for most of it.

Fun facts: Mariota has 13 TD and 15 Int this season. The last four quarterbacks with more int than TD actually won their first playoff game. The Chiefs have lost their last 5 at home.

That all said, the Chiefs are the flat out better team and it will show as the game progresses. The Titans' defense will hold together fairly well, but their offense will be too limited to keep them around late. KC also has a solid kicker in Butker that'll probably knock at least one from 50.

In a game with more lulls than highs, I think KC's offense has enough breakthroughs to keep it out of reach in the final minutes. Chiefs 20, Titans 10.

Chiefs are favored by 8 1/2, so I'm giving them the points.

Now watch this end like 34-31 "oh"
