You might as well have said that.  Someone says that the Steelers will lose to both the Chiefs and the Patriots.  Then your response was that the Patriots game will likely be closer, not a claim that you think the Steelers will win that game, but only that you think that it will be closer.

So, smaller margin of defeat = moral victory
