stop with the excuses you sound like whining children you lost accept it!!!!
I lost what?
I'm a dolphins fan and was thrilled they won the game. I also have common sense and pointed out 10 different times during the game to my brother how it looked like Pats were trying to lose.
Adding !!!!!!!! to your post doesn't give it more validation

very amusing post so you think the Patriots gave up home field to rest their players, the Patriots will be cleaning out their lockers
They play at home this week, and will host the Steelers next week. Belichek is just smarter than everyone else in football. He'd rather have healthy than homefield,

Probably a no play for me. You're asking me to pick between a dynasty in a home playoff game vs arguably the hottest team in the NFL, who has been going into the other team's house lately and drinking the milk straight out of the carton.
A few things to think about:
-KC is 5-0 SU and ATS in there last 5 away games, including waxing each division opponent, going east to handily beat BAL, and a solid road playoff win.
-KC defense is top 10 in rush yards allowed, rec yards allowed, points allowed, 2nd in 3rd down %, and 3 in takeaways. Arguably the hottest unit in the NFL.
-NE has created zero, zero momentum going into the playoffs. KC has the swagger, confidence and momentum. This probably affects NE less than any other team in the NFL, but with the way KC has been playing, it can't be ignored.
Forced to pick, I'd probably take KC. I see a low scoring game with both teams struggling to move the ball. I could see the KC front getting pressure on Brady. But, betting against Brady, Belichick & Co. at home in the playoffs isn't the smartest way to try and make money.

and something no one has mentioned wich i think plays a small role in this Pats victory at home is the redemption factor.......last loss the pats have had in 2 years that actually meant something was that brutal beating they took at arrowhead last year on monday night......now they get a chance to take them out the playoffs in foxborough and healthy ill take the -5 all day.

suuma you are right, the play here is 100% the Patriots and don't be surprised if they win going away. As far as "facts" go here is one: Tom Brady was 60-92 for 711 yards 6 tds and no interceptions...and I guess we can throw in the rushing touchdown too for good measure....in the back to back original meetings with the Dolphins and Jets this year. If anyone thinks that the Pats game planned to absolutely win at all costs by decreasing his amount of passes by 23 attempts against the Jets and throwing the ball 5 times in the first half vs the fins then you are living in your own little world. Take the GOATs at home in the playoffs giving less than a touchdown. There is no knowledgable reason to do otherwise.

I have a future bet of a KC vs Sea superbowl at 25/1...but I would never under no circumstance back KC here at +5.
Maybe at 7.5, but nooo way I'd back them in New England in the playoffs. Unless your name is the Ravens, no team has had success in NE in the playoffs in 15 years

Krazz I totally get behind your logic. There is just one thing that only counts for the Patriots: Since their loss at KC in 2014, it didn't matter which OL they had, they learned how to play around their weaknesses. Josh McDaniels and Bill Belichick have worked out a playbook and a style of offense that allows them to torch every defense. In the 2014 playoffs, they already had a questionable OL and faced a great pass rush in the Ravens and Seahawks - they scored 28+ points. This season they started with 2-3 ROOKIES on their OL who also changed their positions. It didn't matter!
Jets, Bills, Dolphins, Steelers, Redskins, Texans, Broncos - their fewest points were 24
They scored 24 at Denver against probably the best pass rush in the league after Edelman, Amendola and Lewis went down when I remember right.
I haven't locked anything in yet, but good news came out, an article stating Edelman running ruthless again, I think thats good news, but still have a week to go before I can commit to placing a bet on any of these 8 teams.

Jets did it one time also but they are in the same division, so perhaps Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez did figure out Brady and Belichick in that week.

Ok, I have heard all the arguments, and I am beginning to lean New England. BB is a genius. Probably the second best coach in history (behind Shula only). TB is the best quarterback in history or at least tied with Montana. The team is home. The motivation factor of playoffs is huge. The team is rested and healthy. There will be no flatness in this smart bunch. I am not quite yet ready to say it, but I would not be shocked by a Patriots win 34-14. Do u know,what else? I hate the Patriots. But I respect proven results.

I love all the haters. This is what motivates Boston/New England. First of all, if you can't put the pieces together by now that Brady will go to Denver to face Manning in their last potential meeting ever..... Your naïve and should not gamble. The question is whether or not each team will cover. In my opinion I think Pittsburgh covers spread and patriots cover spread. The pats are going to win this game easily. It won't even be that close. Everyone keeps talking about "health" here and "rest". Nothing matters to this team. They lose Dion Lewis, fine. They lose Edelman, fine. They lose volummer, fine. Guess what, when the games on the line and it actually matters (advancing) Brady will. Replacements and backups could be in and they would still beat the Chiefs . I'll give everyone a tip on making money here- don't bet against the pats at foxboro. If you do, make it a unit bet or just start betting the NBA and hoping bc you have no capping skills. You can say I told you so.

Having said all that, I think Carolina wins the Super Bowl. Cam is beginning to establish himself as one of the greats and after this year we're going to regard him in the same breath with Manning, Brady, and Roth.

You can give everything but it's not a knowledgeable reason. 2012 Ravens went 1-4 in their L5 and won the Super Bowl, you Einstein!
Yes, and purple's Last 6 Switcheroo system (currently 67-38, 63.8%) picks NE. The power ratings say KC, but the L6S says beware of that sleeping powerhouse.

Alex Smith had a better team than he does now, a better coach, and home field advantage when he lost to the Giants in the NFC championship game. Now people expect him to go into one of the toughest venues, against the SB champs, with an average offense and cover and/or win? I don't think so. Also don't forget, deflate gate looms. Everyone talks about redemption for the Seahawks, but NE is also going for redemption or maybe revenge. Their championship was stained by those allegations, and they want to prove to everyone that the air in the ball doesn't matter. That was the reason/motivation for their hot start. But they can only prove their point in the playoffs, which (for them) starts this weekend.

You have no come back cause your post is stupid, they lost 4 of their last 6 games and got the crap beat out of them and nobody was resting they accumulated more injury's
And your 5-0 ATS after 2 losses what the hell does that really mean ? 19 of the Teams in the NFL are either 500 or below
The NFL is a bunch of stinky teams
5-0 ATS when losing 2 games has nothing to do with coming into a Divisional playoff game facing a team who's won 11 in a row
Before you put out stats like this think first
I WIL have a discussion with you sir. And I'll say just keep talking about how Brady is weak and beat up and the O line is bla bla blah. Remember last year when the Chiefs beat New England on MNF? Im sure you do, and so do the Patriots. THIS IS A REVENGE GAME AS WELL AS A PLAYOFF GAME. The ATS numbers that favor the Pats mean nothing to Belichick. THey mean nothing to Brady, but that game last year against KC does. KEEP on talking smack please do Mysticrich you ugly avatar looking dude! because Tom is going to take all your crap comments and then shove them up your ugly A$$ on Saturday. Just keep things on the low Gronk, Edleman, and some of the others that are getting healthy, because the past means nothing. THis is the playoffs, and an 11 game win streak doesn't mean squat either when you are playing a team that is 31 times better than the Houston Texans. I would take KC against Denver in the AFC championship game if they could only get there. Sorry Alex Smith.
When the Patriots make it into the Superbowl against this year MYSTICRICH, then...you have my permission to CRY. Keep talking smack though on Tom Brady. you are just making them stronger. Trust me dude.

Very valid points with McCourty, Chung etc coming back rested (plus Butler and Harmon...how will Smith find an open receiver? He may be the one throwing 3-4 picks this game). The Pats secondary, especially their safety core is a very under the radar elite squad, and their linebacker core can/should overmatch the Chiefs o-line during the rush to reduce the ypa for Ware and west. The only weaknesses I see for the Pats is they arent so strong out of their base defense gettting pressure on the QB on non passing downs...but again, with the focus on Kelce and Maclin out/not 100% I dont see how Smiths sub par reciever core is going to move the chains.
Brady gets rid of the ball insanely fast and has experience in high pressure situations, so he can overcome a sub par pass protection. With Houston and Hali less than 100%, KCs pass rush takes a big hit.
With Edelman back and Gronk well rested this could get ugly. It took 6 turnovers for KC to blow up that game, and the home team turned on Hoyer and got into his head. Add to the potion that JJ Watt was out half the game and we get a lopsided viewing of what was really KC demonstrating they couldnt score when the pressure was on and they didnt have amazing field position.
I was leaning hard KC until I looked into how many impact players they were getting back. The team that started 10-0 is who I think shows up Saturday. We owe the team that chilled 6 weeks to go 2-4 that this line isnt more ridiculous. GL man
