Chiefs How good are the Chiefs chances at the AFC's #1 seed? - Page 8

Updated: 12/19

Teams that actually matter in this conversation:

Kansas City (10-4) (vs PIT, at CIN, at DEN)

New England (9-5) (vs BUF, vs JAC, at MIA)

Tennessee (9-5) (vs SF, vs MIA, at HOU)

Baltimore (8-5) (vs GB, at CIN, vs LAR, vs PIT)

Buffalo (8-6) (at NE, vs ATL, vs NYJ)

Indianapolis (8-6) (at ARI, vs LV, at JAC)

LA Chargers (8-6) (at HOU, vs DEN, at LV)

---

Being 1 game back with six games to play seems incredibly generous given our shitty tiebreaker situation. I'll put our odds at 99.9999999%

This year has been bizarre

We're not in the best position to grab the number one seed, but Vegas says the Chiefs are favored to once again win the AFC Championship and return to the Super Bowl.

Kansas City Chiefs +325
Buffalo Bills +350
Baltimore Ravens +450
New England Patriots +550
Tennessee Titans +800

The patriots look like they are getting better and better. That bastard Belicheck is always a PITA. He's the one that started the scheme that fucked with Superman Mahomes.

KC has a better chance running the table than any other team in the AFC right now.

I think they've got a shot. My predictions based on those schedules:

Tennessee 12-5
Baltimore 10-7
New England 11-6
Kansas City 13-4
Buffalo 11-6
Los Angeles 11-6

This is pretty realistic to me.

I have a really hard time seeing Tennessee winning at New England. BB is going to eat that offense alive with Henry and Jones out.

After that skid, it’s hard to see the Titans winning out.

It really just comes down the the Chiefs winning out. If we do, it’s really hard to imagine not getting the 1 seed.

The AFC really fucked up by letting us hang around so long.

This season is 2019 all over again. Losing streak where defense looked bad, defense catches fire mid season, last loss to Titans, same record as this time that year, and to top it all off.... week 17 Miami is gonna knock off the Pats and give KC the 1 seed. We’re winning the SB this season, it’s already been written.

My biggest concern is that the top of each of the other divisions are falling back to the pack. That could be a problem. We need to focus on winning the AFC West and see what happens. It's completely possible to still miss the playoffs with the tie breaker situation we are in.

After the bye, it's entirely possible that we will be sitting outside of the playoff picture (at that time).

LA has two straight road games, and the second one is to the east coast to playing Cincy, who's offense should give them fits.

I like our odds.

Just Win. The only team that can stop the Chiefs is the Chiefs.

Win and the rest will fall into place.
