As you heard me say on multiple platforms during the week, I liked the Rams and Chiefs to advance. One favorite and one underdog. The Chiefs selection goes against a sports gambling commandment, “Thou shall not wager vs. Brady in the playoffs.”
With that being said, I was ready for battle after my game one win. Felt loose and about as confident as one could be, taking Andy Reid in a conference championship game.
F Tom Brady.
UPDATE: They won.
Another Patriots TD! This time it’s @Dorsett_4 with the catch ?#NFLPlayoffs | #EverythingWeGot pic.twitter.com/qYuZ9ZqmcJ

So you’re saying this is Brady’s game…
Tom Brady is 72-1 as a starting QB, including the playoffs, when he has a halftime lead of 14+ points, including 51 straight wins entering today.

Mahomes is a monster! An experience watching him sling the ball around the field. Here’s a few that caught my eye.

Game was tight all the way through. At 17-14, Edelman was really lucky this ball didn’t hit him.
Did Edelman touch this?! ??? Patriots and Chiefs game is wild pic.twitter.com/w7yanpcwb2

Of course Brady takes the lead. I lost my second half under bet. Thanks, Tom.
Patriots retake the lead with Sony Michel’s 2nd TD ✌?

A few of us thought the Chiefs would stop the Pats…
Will Brady do it?

1:57 and 3 timeouts for Brady? And the Patriots have the refs? Well you did good KC. Great rally, great fight but Brady’s the ? for moments like this #reversejinx#ChiefsKingdom

He did it. Chiefs scored on the next play. INCREDIBLE!
We can’t keep up with this game. This is wild.pic.twitter.com/W6d9lh87EI

Well, I wasn’t surprised because the Patriots just know how to win big games. They’re heading to another Super Bowl. And of course, the immediate reaction is that they win it all. Plenty of time to digest that, though.
