I'd guess you'll be able to do ok on tickets if that forecast holds.

I would LOVE to go, but with KU @ UK the following weekend, I can't see dropping that kind of cash.

My other recommendation would be to shop around the various sites that all run on the same back end (Ticket Liquidator, Select-a-Ticket, Vivid Seats, on and on and one), and consider three things:

1. If you are a Southwest Airlines guy, you can get 2x-7x points by going through Rapid Rewards Shopping. Not a big deal if you're buying a can opener or something, but dropping several hundred bones on tickets means the multiple gets meaningful.

2. All those sites with the same back end ask you to put an email address in - get past that stage without buying tickets and close the window. Oftentimes, you'll get an email giving you a short-term coupon code for a decent chunk off.

3. Download a browser extension like Honey or WikiBuy and it will try a bunch of other coupon codes for you. Never know what you might find.

It's hard to do those second and third ones with #1, because the Rapid Rewards browser extension is supposed to be rendered ineffective if you use a coupon code not found on SWA's portal, but I've found that with enough trial and error (and a second browser window if necessary) you can in fact use codes and get points.

Source: I just did this this morning for my @UK tickets, which I got 3x points for (Ticket Liquidator) and also used a 15% code they sent me after closing a window. I do this dumb little dance for all high-dollar tickets I buy.

Interesting of note (if you believe in the metrics, etc) : According to DVOA, the Pats defense is #1 at home. On the road they are 31st.

Also, just saw this factoid..

Patriots haven't won a road playoff game since January 2007 at the SD Chargers in AFC Championship game. Wow

Mahomes is great at freestyling on plays. Peyton was really good at preparation and getting players in the best position to succeed. Mahomes just wings it. And I think it makes him really dangerous to play against.

I...don't think this is remotely accurate.
