4) PATRIOTS vs CHIEFS

Since 2014, New England and Kansas City have played three times, resulting in the Patriots losing twice in embarrassing fashion during the regular season.

The Patriots were able to exact some revenge on the Chiefs during the AFC divisional round playoffs in 2016. They beat the Chiefs 27-20 in Foxborough, further proving their dominance in the postseason.

Both teams provide a high level of intensity when facing each other no matter how different the rosters may be.

The Patriots have had difficulty stopping the Chiefs run game that is headed by Kareem Hunt, who ran for 148 yards last time the two teams met.

This match-up promises smash-mouth football between the lines. Both defenses will have something to prove and the Brady led offense will be tested by a well-rounded Chiefs defense. This will be an exciting game that fans will not want to miss.
