I'm picking the Patriots to beat the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game

My pick, I'm going to take the Patriots. I'm taking them. Julian Edelman convinced me when he said, don't bet against this.

The Patriots defeated the Chiefs 37-31 in overtime.

If Tom Brady wins on the road Sunday, he will tie Mark Sanchez for road playoff wins

If Tom Brady wins on Sunday in Kansas City, he will finally tie Mark Sanchez for road playoff wins. That is elite company. The elitist.

Entering the 2018 AFC Championship, Mark Sanchez had 4 road playoff wins. Brady had 3. Brady won that game, tying Sanchez at 4.

Patrick Mahomes has to play a perfect game for the Chiefs to win

[Mahomes] has to basically play his perfect game for the Chiefs to win, and I don't think he's going to play his perfect game... Patrick Mahomes is going to throw an interception that everyone's going to be like, what was that?

Mahomes didn't throw a 'what was that' interception, but the Chiefs lost 37-31. He was very good but Belichick's defense held them scoreless in the first half.

I'm taking the under 56 in the Patriots-Chiefs game

I'm going to take the under, 56... I like the under because I also think the Patriots are going to basically say, Patrick Mahomes, go ahead, beat us.

The Patriots defeated the Chiefs 37-31 for a total of 68 points, hitting the over.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
