I may be overconfident but KC doesn't really scare me.
They beat 2 playoff teams this year. They have 3, maybe 3.5 quality wins if you want to give them a half point for beating the Browns the week after Hue got fired.
Mahomes last 4 games were good, but not superstar-level like earlier. And it wasn't that KC had nothing to play for, the Chargers were right there with them for the division.
This will be Mahomes first ever playoff game. 1st time QBs don't usually do well in those circumstances.
Everyone in KC knows the history of the Colts ruining their playoff hopes. The Arrowhead crowd will be nervous as shit.
KC has some stars on defense but they had a soft schedule and still didn't play well.
Andy Reid's postseason flops are legendary.
The Colts dominated the Texans without playing their best football for half the game. I don't think we should realistically be favored, but I don't think the KC offense is as potent now as they seemed earlier in the season. Especially without Hunt.
