I really don’t get it. They don’t even scare me a little bit. [Reply]

That's a lot to ask of any team in the NFL.
I also don't think the #1 seed is super imperative.
It's possible especially if our d keeps playing the way it is. However, I'm not expecting it.
I think we at 9-4 going into the Chargers game got a feeling we win that one. Possibly lose to the Bengals but really nothing has changed from the start of the season in terms of if the Chiefs bring their A game no one is beating them. [Reply]
Chiefs are better than Denver and Denver is banged up AR after a bye etc. That is a win
Raiders - Chiefs put a beat down on these guys in their house, we get them at home and although it is a divisional matchup this game is one of the few we absolutely dominated. That is a win
Chargers - We moved the ball well and lost this game due to turnovers. Even so it came down to a game altering call on a 3rd and 10 for the Bolts to win. Away game and short week this is the greatest risk but the Chiefs can no doubt not turn the ball over in this one and win. I'd go with a win here
Steelers - they suck this is a win. Ingram gets 2 sacks in a revenge game. At home as well.
Bengals - They don't really have any impressive wins, outside of Balt but we know they are banged up and not that great. Still think this is were the Chiefs could falter especially if Bengals come in hungry this game. - Probably the only L i see happening
Denver - Their season is over at this point, Chiefs W here, unless we can't improve seeding and the Chiefs rest their guys. [Reply]

They've got two games against a good divisional opponent in the Bills, a feisty Colts team, and one against the Dolphins who they historically struggle against.
That's four tough games and three of them are on the road. I'm not saying they will lose any or all of these, but I would not be shocked if they dropped two or even three of them. [Reply]
What you’re all forgetting IS.... this is 2019 all over again. Pats are gonna lose in Miami week 18 to give us the 1 seed. Have faith, this is the way! [Reply]

Sorry, I should have elaborated more on them in my post.
I think they lose 3 of their remaining 6 games and therefore will NOT be in the discussion for the #1 seed, unlike the Chiefs, Pats and Titans.
Chiefs may run the table, but will probably lose one.
Pats will lose one, possibly two.
As bad as the Titans have looked, their schedule is very favorable down the stretch. They shouldn't lose more than one. Now, saying that, I realize they just lost to the Texans a couple weeks ago so, admittedly, anything is possible there.
The Patriots definitely don’t scare me, but a team will need to play a relatively mistake free game to beat them in foxboro in the post season.
Mac is a damn good QB and doesn’t get enough credit because he doesn’t have a WOW arm and he’s not going to beat you as a runner. But he’s very football smart, reads defenses, doesn’t make many poor decisions and is a leader. [Reply]
The only team that halfway scares me on the road or at home in the playoffs would be New England. Probably more to do with the Belichick factor than anything else, the ghost of the past. [Reply]
