TV: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS

Records: Chiefs 8-4, Pats 10-2

Line: Pats by 2½

Satellite radio: Chiefs feed on Sirius 138 (streaming 815), Pats feed on Sirius 82 (streaming 820)

Chiefs’ keys: The Chiefs need to create pressure on Patriots QB Tom Brady with DE Frank Clark and DT Chris Jones, and they’ve been having more success with their pass rush recently. On offense, the Chiefs will need to think beyond simply QB Patrick Mahomes.

Patriots’ keys: They are likely to employ a similar strategy to last season’s AFC Championship Game: double-team WR Tyreek Hill with CB Jonathan Jones and S Devin McCourty while putting CBs Stephon Gilmore, J.C. Jackson and Jason McCourty on the other receivers.

Who wins? There’s a chance the Patriots won’t be able to keep pace offensively with the Chiefs. But New England should get its top skill players healthy in time for kickoff. Patriots 27, Chiefs 24
