Chiefs-Patriots Preview

I like this matchup. The Chiefs usually give the Pats a run for their money. By that I mean they literally just run out the clock on the Patriots. Andy Reids exotic, dink and dunk offence has a way of running the clock while the team methodically marches into field goal range. This is especially effective against a team known for racking up yardage and points. At this point the only way one can beat Tom Brady is keeping his cheating ass off the field and the Chiefs are proficient in such a thing.

Key matchup: Justin Houston vs Patriots oline: Houston is one scary dude. Guy is maybe the most underrated defensive player in the game today. He can rush the passer, stop the run and drop into coverage with the best of them. Neutralizing Houston is the key for any offence to be successful against the formidable Chiefs defence. I anticipate Houston having a splash play or two but the Pats will hold him in check. They will do this by utilizing their quick passing game so he doesn't have time to get to Brady.

Bottom line: This game will be close through three quarters but the Pats will pull away in the fourth. Andy Reid will botch clock management and the time will run out on a last second chiefs comeback attempt
