Will Brinson's Astonishingly accurate playoff picks |
The theme of both title games is clear, ALL FOUR DEFENSES WILL HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL! In the AFC, the Chiefs will have to slow the Patriots ground attack, but the Pats have to deal with soon-to-be-MVP Patrick Mahomes.

Championship Round Odds: Pats surprise underdogs to Chiefs |
The Patriots are underdogs. You read that right, UNDERDOGS! Despite a dominant performance against the Chargers on Sunday, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are outright underdogs for just the 7th time in the playoffs. The NFC number (Saints -3.5) seems pretty spot on. |
