The Kansas City Chiefs come into the divisional round riding high on an 11-game win streak that took them from a 1-5 team in the cellar of the AFC West to red-hot playoff team that has the chance to represent the AFC in the Superbowl. The victor will go on to face the victor of Sunday's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos. "That's why they're at this point".

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of New England's last 5 games when playing Kansas City. Of course, the Chiefs had Jamaal Charles, and the Patriots didn't have all the same players that they do now, but the performance is still notable. After dominating the National Football League at the start of the season, the Tom Brady squad lost four of their last six games before the playoffs.

The New England Patriots are entering the playoffs from a slightly disappointing standpoint. The Minnesota Vikings suffered a gut-wrenching one-point defeat after Blair Walsh failed to convert a 27-yard field goal. “Kansas City coming off the 10-game winning streak in the regular season, they looked just as good against Houston playing good football. "I've played New England so many times".

Among them have been center Mitch Morse, who missed Saturday's game with a concussion, and right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, who sustained a concussion during the game. "They've won 11 straight".

There was a lot of attention on Fisher last weekend against Houston, when the Kansas City tackle was blocking J.J. Watt on the play that knocked the All-Pro defensive end out of the game because of a groin injury. With 47 sacks on the season, expect outside linebacker Justin Houston to be set loose against New England. The Patriots used the week off to rest and heal up, as the slide at the end of the season was mainly due injuries. For the season, the New England defense finished 10th in points allowed at 19.7 per game. Those concerns will go by the wayside once Edelman is back in a game, however.

Gregory Hunt is a Boston native and a life-long fan of the Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins and Celtics. The unit has dealt with its fair share of injuries and the younger offensive linemen have struggled to keep quarterback Tom Brady upright. He didn't practice Tuesday, but Reid listed him as day to day and was hopeful that Maclin could take the field Saturday for the playoff game against the Patriots in Foxborough. The addition of Edelman is an important one, as Brady and Co. go up against the AFC's No. 2 scoring defense. Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer was befuddled and the Houston defense could not consistently stop the Kansas City offense. Smith has been able to make something happen with his feet, actually the second leading rusher for the team with 498 yards throughout the year.

As reported by The Inquisitr, the Patriots will host the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, January 16, 2016 at 4:35 p.m. At the moment, they are five point favorites over the visiting Chiefs, and should have the advantage when it is all said and done. "This team is a hot team so it shouldn't be about my foot or this and that, it should be about the Kansas City Chiefs because that is a solid football team".
