This is an ATS SIDE WINNER on the Chiefs.

If you're watching and wagering on this game, then you know the story lines. You know the cast of characters on both sides of the field. You know the strengths and weaknesses of these teams.

And if not, there are literally millions of review articles out there that can get you up to speed. The bottom line here is guys that I believe that experience really does matter here at this point.

Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid will never go down without a fight. Mahomes earned his first road playoff win last weekend, and he has even bigger plans for the Conference round.

This matchup is going to be decided by the men under center, and while LaMar Jackson deserves to win MVP for the regular season, if I had a gun to my head and asked which QB I think is more suited to win this game at this exact second, and I'd for sure say Mahomes.

Mahomes and Travis Kelce have now connected on more playoff TD's than any other combo in history.

I had a play on Houston in its win over the Browns. I had a play on Baltimore last week in its victory over the Texans.

I thought that CJ Stroud's inexperience would lose out to Jackson's experience at that point.

And now I believe that Mahome's experience at this level will also prove to be the difference in the end here.

And while I do indeed feel an outright win is possible, my official call will be to grab as many points as you can with KANSAS CITY.

Good luck, NP
