This Patriots dynasty is one of the best of all time and I can never count them out, even more so when playing an Andy Reid coached team, but I am going with Kansas City in this one.
This feels like the kind of game where the Chiefs jump out to an early lead and the Patriots reel them back in using screens and quick passes (expecting a big game from Edelman). Ordinarily I'd say Andy Reid would go conservative with a lead and the Patriots, once they've made their usual adjustments, would overrun them, however the playmaking ability of Mahomes has me believing they can do it.
Mahomes has a bit of a Marino feel about him - not skills wise, but in the way he elevates the team with his performance to offset an above average team with a conservative coach.
If the Chiefs don't get the early lead, and the Patriots do, I'm not convinced the Chiefs have it in them to come back.
