17 games and 7 seeds is just awful.
That said it probably helped us beat the Bengals. We got to face a team that had already played two playoff games instead of a Bills team that had endured a grueling season but gotten a week off. Buffalo got no respite. [Reply]
Jets defense is the last team to keep Buffalo's offense under 30 points. And watching them today Rogers and Adams were on fire. That gives me more confidence that they can pull off the upset. We all saw what Puka and Cooper and St Brown and Williams done to that secondary. Now it's time for Adams and Wilson to eat. [Reply]
Seems like every ex-Pats player picks against the Chiefs. Tedy Bruschi was absolutely convinced that the Browns would beat the Chiefs today. These ex-Pats are getting worse than the remaining mummies from the 72 Phins. Puck the Fatriots. [Reply]

To be fair to Bruschi, he also got the most upset last week when Rex Ryan was dissing the Chiefs. His brain almost exploded on TV when Rex was trying to compare them to the Steelers teams of the last few years. [Reply]
I'm taking the Chiefs to beat the Texans, even with Wentz as the starter. However, I think Chiefs lose @PIT if Wentz is the starter.
If Chiefs beat the Texans, the 1st seed is pretty much locked up. I don't see them losing to both the Steelers and Broncos. 15-2 is my prediction like I said a few weeks ago.
They shouldn't risk Mahomes and potentially worsen the high ankle sprain. Bring him back for the Broncos game. [Reply]

Looking at the Steelers games (Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals) it's far more likely that the Ravens end up with the 3rd seed rather than the 7th seed. [Reply]

Yeah....I am not so sure unless TJ Watt is seriously injured.
The Steelers aren't losing to the Bengals....
If the Chiefs rest players (not saying they will) then the Steelers could steal a win.
I see the Ravens/Steelers game as a close one. [Reply]

Good defense, but Russ looks washed more and more and without Pickens and the jump balls they're meh.
They're pretty good when they play at home. If the upcoming game against them was scheduled to be played at KC then i'd be confident in a Chiefs win, even with Wentz as the starter. Gonna need Mahomes to get a W @PIT. [Reply]
For the #Steelers: WR George Pickens and QB Justin Fields have both been ruled out against the #Ravens. But… TJ Watt has no injury designation and is good to go.
