As most of you already know, Boston has been the hub of sports for the past two decades, winning 12 championships in the process. From the Patriots dynasty (still going), to the Red Sox randomness of great seasons, to the Bruins having two more shots at the Cup, and the Celtics still trying to get banner 18 for the first time since 2008, the city is certainly trying to add more. All four teams have a decent to really good chance at winning one or a few during this new decade, which begs the question, who’s most likely to hold a trophy first this decade?
The Chiefs, even without Tyreek Hill for a bit, seemed to look as dominant as last season. But after two rough games in a row against the Colts and Texans, the Chiefs looked like their high powered offense was figured out. Teams finally know how to contain the offense.
Yesterday’s Thursday night game looked like a game the Chiefs needed; wrecking a bad team like the Broncos.
Going into the 2019 season, many picked the Kansas City Chiefs to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl, avenging the end to their 2018 season and begin a run of dominance.

It’s getting painful for this Patriots die hard fan, and it’s time to start getting brutally honest. I held out saying this following the Miami game, because I liked what I saw there. Sure, the Miami Miracle was horrible, but Brady played his best game of the season, Gronk looked like his old self, and Edelman was making great plays. After today, I cannot defend this team for what we expect it to be: a Super Bowl contender; that alone means something is wrong, and at 9-5, assuring we will not win at least 12 games for the first time since 2009, it’s officially time to say something is wrong.
