Careful, Icarus.
What teams are legit in the AFC besides KC?
Twice with Branch and once before Branch....
On offense, Mac Jones has more to work with than Brady did the first 3 Super Bowl wins. The defense isn't as good/proven as the 2nd and 3rd SB winning teams but that unit looks more talented than the first.
The options are diversified on offense. No all-pro receiver-tight ends but a handful of quality players. [Reply]
A team that is inferior to the Chiefs teams of the past two seasons will be the number one seed in the AFC this season. Might as well be the team that most of you guys like. [Reply]
Barring an epic collapse by the Titans, they’re getting the #1 seed. Too many things working in their favor.
We could get the #2, but we’d likely have to win out, which is a big ask even if playing well. I do think we’ll beat the Charge in 3 weeks and hold on for the AFC West Title. Likely end up the 3 seed. Get a home playoff game and then have to go on the road for a couple to make another Super Bowl run.
It can be done, but won’t be easy. I’d like to see what Mahomes and team can do in road playoff scenario, though, as he needs to notch some of those for his legacy. And, in Mahomes first few years, he arguably played better on the road overall than in Arrowhead, so would be fun to see.
The part that worries me about that is the defense. They seem to feed off the energy at home and play much better there. Not confident that show can travel yet. [Reply]

After the Titans lost to Houston anything is possible. I think they drop 2 to 3 more easy. [Reply]

I don't see The Titans doing it, honestly. Not without Henry.
I'd put just about anything on it NOT being the Titans.
Will it be KC? No idea. I think we'd probably have to win out due to losing all the tiebreakers. It's possible. KC is certainly capable. But we're really inconsistent still right now. Hard to say. [Reply]
