I don't agree. I think they will be a very formidable challenge for the Steelers, but we will find out Sunday.
of course I read it was the biggest spread in a playoff game since 1980 or thereabouts. and when I checked last night, if you wanted to bet them to win, you had to risk 20 to win 1.
I concur. Chiefs at home are tough for anyone. The reason they have little chance in a potential game against NE is due to the location. NE is going to be a clear favorite (maybe 6 points?) against either KC or PIT.
The Packers are going to run the table to the SB. The Superbowl is going to be either Pats/Packers or Steelers/Packers IMO (hope I am wrong. I hate all 4 of those teams)
Personally, I'm rooting for the Chiefs. They haven't won it all since the year after the Jets last did, I almost always root for the AFC (unless it's the Pats, of course), and, last but not least, I've always thought Andy Reid was a very good coach who got kind of a raw deal in the media. Edit: I also wouldn't mind seeing Atlanta win it all.
The biggest reasons I wouldn't mind seeing Atlanta win are that it would piss off the people who are horrified that people dare to put Matt Ryan in the same breath as their hero Tommy Boy for MVP consideration, and it would be pretty funny seeing an entire part of the country suddenly act like they give a damn about pro football.
Matty Ice certainly deserves consideration over Tommy Boy. What's lost on me is that Drew Brees is not being mentioned over either of them. Maybe it's because his team did not fare as well.
The loss of Jordy Nelson is going to be huge for them. I had them losing vs New England in the SB, but now I am not so sure. I would imagine Dallas is going to try and play keep away and dominate TOP which should limit the amount of time Rodgers is on the field making each possession more important for Rodgers and that offense. It is going to be interesting if they can stay hot with out Jordy.

The game in Kansas City is gonna be a mess weather wise. We are supposed to be getting a pretty nasty ice storm out here and the area around Kansas City might get over an inch of ice. should be fun to watch
Absolutely. Dallas needs to go up 10 points early and hit cruise control so they can get their pass rush going. He's such an underrated coach because he doesn't have that elusive Super Bowl victory. I'd like to see them win it as well but I can't see them going into Foxborough and winning. If any team can stop Le'Veon though it's them. Dontari Poe controls the line of scrimmage and their trio of outside linebackers penetrate and run down the line very well. It's tough to be as patient as he is when Justin Houston/Dee Ford/Tamba Hali are catching the back in the backfield around the edge. Their defense also has stars at every level whether it's the players I mentioned or Berry/Peters ballhawking in the secondary.
I don't know about easy win with Nelson in, I was thinking they might have been able to pull off the upset with Nelson but not easily. Now it is really going to be tough unless Adams and Cobb come up big.
