"The Patriots defense laid the smack down upon Justin Herbert & the Chargers offense overall, man what a game in prime time in the first round of this years tournament! My prediction was Drake Maye & his Patriots winning 20-22 & the actual final was New England winning 3-16. Wow!"

"Now John Harbaugh & The Los Angeles Chargers have two consecutive years of going home in the first round after being one of the best teams in the AFC & the AFC West. They may want to look at earning home field advantage in 2026-27 tourney."

"Drake Maye has every tool in the shed to be as good as Tom Brady or even better & I hope he's utilizing his advantage & has Brady & Mahomes II on speed dial this week. The PATS advance to the Divisional Round and they'll host the winner of tonight's game [1st postseason meeting ever], between the #5 Texans @ #4 Steelers. My SNF record is 10-8-1, in the post season on Sunday nights is 1-0. I'm 2-0 in prime time this post season. My overall prime time record is 34-26-1."
