What more needs to be said? The Patriots are built for the playoffs. Every season, critics count them out after a few regular-season losses, and yet, here they are again—one game away from the Super Bowl.
New England has been here before, and they thrive under pressure. Do they look as dominant as in past years? Maybe not. But don’t be fooled—this team knows how to win in January. Just ask the Chargers!

Who Has the Edge?
This game is shaping up to be a classic showdown.
- Andy Reid is facing the biggest coaching challenge of his career. He’ll need a near-perfect game plan to outcoach Bill Belichick.
- The Chiefs have home-field advantage. Arrowhead Stadium is one of the toughest places to play, and the crowd will be electric.
- Momentum is with Kansas City. They made the Colts look like amateurs last week, but can they do the same to the Patriots?
At -3, the Chiefs look like a solid bet. But betting against Tom Brady in the playoffs is always a risky move.
