I think NFL would most like to see Mahomes vs Brady in AFCCG with KC prevailing and then a track meet game against the Saints/Rams in the SB. Mahomes is the key.

Have to think the snow hurts the chiefs offense the most of any non ST unit in this game. Hard to see the long bombs to Tyreek Hill with the wind and limited visibility.

I hope it turns into a blizzard and Vinterini kicks 5 field goals on the way to a 15-0 win.
I guess we should be rooting for a Colts win but that is a tough cross to bear. When you put it this way I could get behind Viniatieri for the win as well. I’m voting for a Colts 3-0 victory though with a similar play out to the Snow Plow game from 1982.

He is and always will be my all time favorite Patriot, followed closely by Brady and then Hannah, they'd have two more Super Bowl wins if he was still here.

I am always amazed by announcers saying that snow favors a low scoring game.
The Pats have shown time and again that snow favors a pass-happy approach because it affects the pass rush and ability to react more than throwing and route running.

Of course, this also requires that the teams know this as well, and this is the type of thing I would never expect Andy Ried to figure out.

Now all bets are off if it's really windy.

I'm not sure why anyone would think this weather would benefit the Colts. They're a dome team. This is not the weather I was hoping to see today.

Thank you. I went against the late trends today. My rationale was and is that KC has more personnel of: Fast one cut backs (Williams especially but also West), and you can still run smoke/go/vert routes (Hill, Kelce) easily.

No-Brainer, IMO. The Colts were 3-4 when they went outside this year, with losses to the Jets, Pats, Philly and Jacksonville, and they're offense was pretty bad in all but one of those games, including a shutout vs. the Jags (they scored 34 in their loss to the Jets). They're wins were against Washington (2nd game of the year), Oakland and Tennessee, so when they did win, they generally played in good weather. Andrew Luck has a lifetime passer rating of 85.0 outdoors, and like 92.5 domes/retractable roofs. Add in this kind of weather, and I think this could be a long day for Indy.
