KC -4.5
o/u 43.5
At first glance, one might look at the over/under and be puzzled as to why it's lower than the CLE/HOU game. Both of these offenses have proven they can light up the scoreboard. The reason: It's going to be colder than a well-digger's ass in Kansas City tonight. Temps are expected to be below zero by kickoff, with 17 mph gusts. That's fucking cold.
Miami has lost its last 10 games when the temp was below 40 degrees at kickoff.
KC is playing their 15th straight home playoff game. Impressive.
Miami hopes to get a lot of their big name players back after losing their last 2 games of the season. Mostert, Waddle, Hill, Ramsey and Achane all hope to play. Xavien Howard - a beast of a DB - is OUT. Conversely, the Chiefs are as healthy as they've been all year.
Given the weather, I like the UNDER in this one even though it's likely 12+ points lower than it would have been in better conditions.
I think both teams will focus on the running attack to move the ball which shortens the game and limits scoring opportunities.
I'll be rooting heavily for Miami in this one because I am so tired of the Chiefs, but I don't see it happening.
