The New England Patriots have opened up as a 3-point underdog against the Kansas City Chiefs, per BetOnline.ag.

Last Sunday, the New England Patriots shocked the world by completely overwhelming the Los Angeles Chargers by a score of 41-28. Tom Brady reminded the world why he is the greatest quarterback under the center of all-time. He threw for 343 yards with one touchdown. His running back Sony Michel having rushed for 129 yards with three touchdowns.

Philip Rivers had led the charge for Los Angeles all season long. On that game, he threw for 331 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. But it wasn't enough. The Chargers defense crumbled under the offensive scheme of Patriots head coach Bill Bellichek.

The winner of this contest will go on to play in the Super Bowl against either the Los Angeles Rams or the Kansas City Chiefs.

Early on in the year, the Chargers struggled. However, they finished strong. They ended the regular season with a record of 12-4. They averaged 26.8 points per game, which ranked 6th overall in the entire league. Their defense wasn't quite as good, as it did allow 20.6 points per game which ranked 8th overall in the NFL. Unfortunately, their season has now ended.

For the Patriots, many wondered coming into this season if they had the players to win enough games to even make the playoffs. Tom Brady is getting older and more fragile. It seems as if Brady always finished in the playoffs, winning a huge one against the Chargers.

For the Chiefs, they have young quarterback sensation Patrick Mahomes under center combined with Travis Kelce offensively, and the mind of Andy Ried has made them one of the best offensive juggernauts in the league.

The Patriots went 11-5 on the season. They averaged 27.3 points per game, which ranked 4th overall in the NFL. However, their defense wasn't quite as good, as they did allow 20.3 points per game, which ranked 7th in the entire league.
