Miami Dolphins vs. Kansas City Chiefs Prediction
This just smells like bad, baddd news for the Miami Dolphins. They are a warm weather team in a major way. These guys are professional athletes and can still play other places, but this is the same as altitude affecting the lungs with elevation, it is a real effect. It is going to be around five degrees at kickoff, and that is big time cold. The Dolphins have never won a playoff game where it was 46 degrees or colder, and this is way, way colder. Fins Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is 0-4 with a passer rating of 71.2 in games under 46 degrees.
This is a home game for the defending Super Bowl Champions, who know how to win playoff games and play in cold weather. This is hostile territory, Arrowhead is widely regarded as one of the loudest and toughest places to play in the league. Patrick Mahomes has been questioned and tested this year, but will show you once again that he is indeed that guy. The Chiefs are 10-2 with him under center in the playoffs, and have already won two Super Bowls. If you were not familiar with his game, he is the new Tom Brady. Mahomes will be in a lot of Super Bowls throughout his career, and to get there, you're going to beat up on some first round foes. The Dolphins are shorthanded and lost more guys last week, and they will struggle on Saturday night.
