Hey, I picked my Chiefs (or is it Cheifs?) last year over the NFC #1 seed, and it worked out well for KC. I’ll try it again: Chiefs 34, Packers 20 ---

I read it as “chafes” and think someone needs to have a talk with their equipment guy. ---

Go big or go home(r). But not too much homer. **Packers 38, Titans 24** Re: that ad: So around 2005, I was on a road trip with a couple of my cooler friends. Friend A played a mixtape with some song from the Kaiser Chiefs’ first album. Friend B recognized it and said, “Ah, the Kaiser Chefs.” Friend A replied, “Great googily-moogily.” We all chuckled. However, I thought that the band’s name _actually was the Kaiser Chefs_, even after buying that album and playing it quite often. Finally, when I got Guitar Hero 3 about three years later, I thought the game made a typo by calling them the Kaiser Chiefs. I went online to brag about how observant I was, did a little research, and whoops! My bad! ---

Green Bay’s defense continues their upward progress, and Elgton Jenkins wins himself a ridiculously fat contract extension by holding down the GB offensive line. Chiefs do Chiefs things, and Mike Pettine goes soft in the second half. Rodgers still goes off in the most ridiculous and entertaining way, and Green Bay repeats the result of Super Bowl I, if not the score. Green Bay 38, Kansas City 33, with Tunyan scoring two touchdowns to Kelce’s one. ---

Fuck you, Doug Petersen, for keeping the Giants out of what would have _obviously_ been another miracle SB run. Anyway… For my record-setting third ASBEPT victory, I’m going with: Packers 23, Bills 21 (Ending when the Bills miss a last second FG attempt…wide left.) ---
