They play pretty late in the year, which is kinda good and bad I suppose.
I don't know that the Chiefs can really win 15, they have a pretty tough schedule. |

I think NE and KC will most likely have 2 losses eachbefore their week 14 matchup.
It’s going to decide HFA |

They can. You're a Big Dog now. The question is will the players stay focused enough, and the team healthy enough, and will you get a few lucky breaks here and there. When the games are tight between two really good teams, luck often becomes more of a factor. The Welker drop. The Edelman catch. The Tyree catch. Dee Ford offsides. Faulk on 4th and 2 just short. A little break here or there -- a big play that amazingly succeeds...or doesn't...is often what determines the outcome. It's a game of inches.

If both are undefeated, that could be unreal.
I don't know that they will be, but damn talk about a prime time one. |

As for # of wins, 14 plus the head to head should be enough as that only leaves the other team with having to win every other game to be 15-1. 13 wins and head to head should take it too. But 14 wins could take it if one looses the head to head. My guess is that both teams will be within one game of each other when we play and the head to head should decide HFA as it happens so late in the season for the loser to make up ground. |

Except that isn't really how it works to be honest. It's more about the health of the teams when they meet, the matchups, and who coaches and performs better that day. The best team doesn't always win. The 2001 Rams and 2007 Patriots (among many others) can tell you all about it. |

If my memory serves me correct both the Giants and 49ers were 10-0 two weeks away from their MNF showdown in 1990, and the both lost the following weekend and thus were 10-1 when they played. Still a big showdown but not between undefeated teams. |

Pats have Hou, Dall, Balt, KC and Phila if they can turn it around. I hope the Pats will have a two game lead going into the game but not sure if that will happen. |

And all a team, players and coaches can do do is their best not to make mistakes and let luck go where it goes. It evens out in the end most of the time over a series of games. |

As you D has improve so has our D with the younger guys getting more experience in the system and some additions, namely Collins and Winovich. As for last season i think both fan bases can take away positives. Chiefs fans can look at the halves KC played well and hope that it can do it for four qtrs. As a Pats fan kind of the opposite, we held KC in check for 2 qtrs each game and just need to do it for more this time. Either way should be a fun game. |
