I got it 30-27 KC.

Philly runs for over 200, turns it over once. Philly kicker misses a FG at some point.

KC turns it over twice.

KC wins the penalty battle slightly(angering conspiracy theorists that don't realize the last time a SB winner was more penalized than the loser was the 2013 season).

I think the people who screech about "conspiracy theorists" don't realize how easy it is to influence outcomes with a budget here and there. It's not like they're gift wrapping games for the Chiefs but just like the Pats before then it sure seems like every crucial questionable call in their games goes in their favor.

Let me see if the Pats ever lost a penalty battle during the Brady era.

The Chiefs haven't allowed a 100 yard rusher in their last 18 playoff games. Sure Barkley is better than most but that does include several matchup against Henry, and McCaffrey coming off a OPOY season. Could see the Eagles winning but I don't think they run for anywhere near 200. The Bills and Texans were able to run for a lot because the Chiefs had to adjust to stop those passing attacks -- the Eagles are much more limited passing the ball so the Chiefs can load up against the run. Also, Barkley is a big run guy, not someone who grinds out 10 yards on every play -- Chiefs are the best tackling D in the league so if they can limit the big runs I don't think Barkley will do much compared to his last few games.

 

Nothing will surprise me with this game but my guess is the Chiefs win a SB handily for the first time, 31-13 KC.

It's not about the overall penalty count and yardage. It's more about highly situational calls in key moments. A questionable beneficial penalty on 1st down in the 1st quarter deep in your own territory is a lot less impactful than a questionable beneficial penalty on 3rd and long in the 4th quarter on the brink of scoring range.

Yeah, as a Panthers fan I am painfully aware of that but the overall trend is a key thing too.

QB's have had success running against KC this year and this playoffs. I think Hurts gets over 40 rushing on them, if not more. I do thing they bottle up Barkley some but still net around 200 passing.

The issue will be I think they have real problems passing the ball.

Can't believe I will have to root for the Chiefs... Eagles fans are possibly the most insufferable bunch of fans around

I thankfully don't live in East pennsyltuckey and I only know one iggles fan, so go iggles although I think the chiets find a way to stop Barkley and get the win

      BREAKiNG NEWS: Panthers interested in trading for Trey Hendrickson

      By Basbear · Posted

      I did not want to start or even think about *if* BY reverts back to pre-non last 9 games.   There is a lane in which Panthers are looking QB after this season, I feel its higher than most will realize. I mean....not kidding... has any team ever traded up to 1st overall twice in the teams history? I don't even want to think within 3 years, just foresee Tepper squeezing Dans and Brandts sacs to the point were they are forced to trade up for a another savior.....   The kicker is I feel this way with BY playing good-great..... I think there with be non-fixable problems for contract negotiations between BY&reps vs Panthers org on the whole. You can not pay 50+ million per over few years with 70% guarantees for 3,303 yards 15 TDs and 9 INTs......Cursed I tell you....

      Did Cam Really Say This??

      By TD alt · Posted

      It's not surprising, but it's still surprising that many of these guys don't manage their money in such a way that provides them and their families a better lifestyle than most for the rest of their lives without even working a nine-to-five. I can't imagine making over a 100 mil for a decade and ultimately ruminating about supporting my family due to financial issues.

      That why i mentioned the KC dynasty. Those three different playoff loses were not Allens fault, in fact 1-2 plays and Bills win. KC just have better players and better coaches and more luck.  Defense-wise, Bills have been trying to crack the Reid-Halhomes magic. Its near impossible with rules and KC home field advantage. Spags has started to force the league in naming him the best DC in NFL history. I agree if you take away Bill bielacheat.... Add in Andy Reid the best QB coach and brilliant play designer/play-caller, I mean that's too much for one QB to over-come on his own.  Just trolling or not, bad is bad scot. Allen is legit as any one QB has ever been.
