Not often you get a big time sleeper..that stays a sleeper this late in the season.. Do we have one with the Kansas City Chiefs ?

The Chiefs will host the wildcard game at arrowhead where they are a perfect 7-0 this year. (Jets vs afc west again ?)

From there vrabel, cassel, and weis visit the old stomping ground, and beat the overrated patriots ?

Thoughts ?

I definitely agree that the Chiefs will be a tough team to play in the playoffs and they have been flying under the radar all season. They are especially tough at home and will pose a big challenge to anyone who plays them. But to call the Pats "overrated." Come on now, they are destroying teams and are playing at such a high level. Not sure how you consider them overrated. Playing in Foxboro in the cold and wind and snow for the duration of the playoffs only increases their chances. They will be even tougher to play at home in the playoffs than KC due to weather issues.

Thread had potential then got silly - lol @ "overrated Patriots".
And those guys are ex-Patriots for a reason.

Though I do like KC to lose to the Pats. Should be a fun post-season.

Green bay looks to be most dangerous of playoff teams in NFC right now.

saintp · #11 12-28-2010, 09:04 AM

Your High.

They might beat the pathetic Jets but if they play the pats, Pats win 78-0!!

no, but they lead the league in picks, and TDs coming from picks. They are league worst in forcing fumbles, but they are top 10 in fumble recoveries, putting up a nice ratio, when they do force a fumble, they almost always recover it. They have a +27 turnover differential, about twice as much as the second highest team in both conferences.

They are at the bottom on total yards allowed, a lot of them garbage yards, better measure the yards per reception allowed, where they are ranked in the top 10. They are middle of the road on rushing defense.

As good as KC is, i dont think they match that well. I am more worried about Baltimore, and pittsburgh.
