AFC DIVISIONAL ROUND – KANSAS CITY CHIEFS VS INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

STAFF PREDICTIONS

  • Kole Berrey – Chiefs 35, Colts 28
  • Chris Clark – Chiefs 28, Colts 24
  • John McCarty – Chiefs 27, Colts 23
  • Josh Michaels – Chiefs 38, Colts 28
  • Leigh Oleszczak – Chiefs 42, Colts 35

Well, here we are! The game you’ve all been looking forward to since… Let’s face it… Week 16 of the regular season.

The Colts have long been a pain in the Chiefs’ side come playoff time, but those Chiefs teams didn’t have Patrick Mahomes. This kid truly is a difference maker and put up MVP numbers all season long.

The defense is iffy, but they’ve shown at times that they can make plays when needed. Pass rush is key on Saturday afternoon. If the pass rushers can make Andrew Luck uncomfortable and force him into some bad decisions, the Sea of Red is going to be insane.

Indy got to this point by beating Houston in the Wild Card round and it never really looked close. The Colts started the season at 1-5 and battled back to win ten of their next 11 games, so they definitely have a lot of confidence in themselves.

The KC Kingdom staff all picked the Chiefs to advance to their first AFC Championship Game since 1993. Let’s goooooo!
