AFC Championship Game
2. Kansas City Chiefs (13-4) @ 1. New England Patriots (15-2)
Is it possible that little old Alex Smith can knock off Tom Brady during his quest to stick it to Roger Goodell on the heels of the Deflategate suspension?
Well, no, he can’t. His team, on the other hand, absolutely can.
Prior to the season, we chose the Chiefs to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl because we felt they were the most complete team. We still believe that’s the case.
In the ultimate “complete team” against “great QB” matchup, Andy Reid’s Chiefs will make enough plays on defense to thwart Brady. And they’ll do it the only way you can against a great QB — with a traditional four-man rush.
Eric Berry and Tyreek Hill will be one-two punch on both sides of the ball that this superstar-starved Chiefs team has been missing the past few seasons. While Berry was around, he’s now back to his full stardom.
It’ll be a nail-biter, but one that sees the Chiefs shock the world.
