Nick Wright: “I’m going to do straight down the barrel analysis. Everyone is like ‘NICK, YOU ALWAYS PICK THE CHIEFS!’... The real answer is ‘NICK, YOU ALWAYS PICK THE CORRECT SUPER BOWL WINNER!’... And that’s more often than not the Chiefs. It seems like I’m picking my hometown team but I’m just picking the best team!... It’s going to be low-scoring, the Chiefs win, Josh makes a mistake, and Patrick doesn’t. Everyone would have been over the moon had the Chiefs beaten Miami 35-24. ‘OH, MY GOODNESS, LOOK AT THAT OFFENSE!’... Instead, they win by 19, control every second of the game, Miami has ONE impactful offensive play because of a ball that was under-thrown... Here’s the deal – Kansas City has accepted who they are the last few weeks the starters have played. A team that has a not good, but GREAT defense. Now that Cleveland is gone, the Chiefs have either the best or second-best defense in the playoffs. It’s them and Baltimore, and then everybody else, and that was the case along with Cleveland all year. This Chiefs team has allowed 30 points once in the last two years and it was in the Super Bowl that they won. People are wondering why they’re struggling in the red zone, and I look at it a little bit differently. I think Patrick is refusing to take any chances in the red zone because he knows with the defense playing the way it is, field goals will be enough. Take the touchdowns when you can, don’t put the ball at risk. Against Buffalo, you might have to go score touchdowns. The last two games the starters have played they have scored points on 13 of 17 drives, had three punts, and one turnover. They’re moving the ball, Rashee Rice has emerged, the defense has been great, and the week off really helped Kelce. Then you have Patrick Mahomes, who has never lost in the Wild Card or Divisional Round, who has never lost an AFC Playoff game in regulation, and yes, he’s on the road for the first time, but if you look at his number historically in the regular season, he’s a better road quarterback than home quarterback. When the Chiefs played the Bills the first time, the Bills were coming off a bye, so they had a one-week rest edge, and the Chiefs were without their two starting linebackers. This time, the Chiefs have a two-day rest edge because they played Saturday and the Bills played Monday, and the Bills are the team dealing with defensive injuries. For those reasons I like the Chiefs a lot, I think they’re in a really good spot. If you’re Buffalo, if you don’t beat Kansas City this year, when are you beating them? You have them at home, a wounded Chiefs team, a vulnerable Chiefs team that no one believes in besides this dope in Kansas City named Nick Wright. If you don’t beat them right now then when do you beat them? The answer is maybe NEVER. I like the Chiefs in this spot quite a bit.”
