The last time the Pats won a road playoff game was 2004/2005 season. Since then they have gone 0 for 4.

Tom Brady gets flustered easily.

And when on the road, he has a tendency to pout a lot too.

patrick mahomes is going to have fun, while brady is going to be miserable.

The frigid forecast for the game in KC favors the Patriots in my opinion.
Go Chiefs.

Gronk will find a homeless guy -in KC- to take to the game with him; VIP pass.
Brady will be inspired.
Chefs? Not so much.

Unfortunately, I see Brady making the Favre mistake AGAIN this year.

LoL!

Everyone has got an opinion and a bunch of stats to prove one way or the other...

They’re both exceptional teams.

I’m going to go out a limb here, but I think one of them, either the Chiefs or the Patriots, will win.

Brady was draft pick 199 so to him, he is always the underdog.

Of course the shocking thing about that stat isn’t the 0-4 on the road, it’s 20-3 at home. Hard to have a good road playoff record when you never go on the road. 8 trips to the conference finals in a row, almost all at home.

Big question to me is Reid. He has a long history of getting out coached in the playoffs, and full fledged embarassed when it’s Belichick on the other side. Has he figured it out this time? Or maybe the Pats on the road this season are so bad he doesn’t have to.

3 points isn't enough. I'd pick KC over the spread. And I'm a Pats fan who lives a stone's throw from Rt. 1 in Foxboro.

This game will be less of a test of Brady than it will be of Belichick. A win would seal his legacy as a defensive genius. Brady merely needs to execute perfectly.

I’m rooting hard for Mahomes and the Chiefs, but I’d never bet against the Pats.

So what you’re saying is that he’s due for a win... Nice!

When good teams play off, it’s a toss up regardless of the “odds”.

Never count out Tom Brady and Bill Belichek being able to put together a smart game. That being said, it’s harder. These younger players grew up watching Brady play football. They “get” his game.

Oh, piff.

That's the advantage Vegas gives home teams.

This game is a push.

Interesting point.

But I would never bet money against Brady & Belichick.

This is not a great, or even a very good Patriots team. Brady is phenomenal, still. He’s had to carry this team on his back this year.

I expect a close game. Would not surprise me if KC wins, nor would it surprise me if the Pat’s win.

I want the Pats to win another Super Bowl but I don’t think it’s in the cards this year. My prediction at the start of the year was the Saints against the Chiefs, with Brees winning his 2nd ring. Saints have a good defense and a great offense. Chiefs a great offense but I think the Saints will be able to slow down the Chiefs offense and win by 10 points,
