Chiefs How good are the Chiefs chances at the AFC's #1 seed? - Page 54

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%

Andy will take the rest over some meaningless end of year game. Always. Rest is even more valuable now with the season being longer.

With the 17th game added to the season, an extra week off from wear is a huge advantage.

Pretty crazy that we're going to be rooting all in for the Dolphins to solidify a bye for the second time in 3 years.

Also unless the league moves games - we should know the result of the Titans/Texans before our game with the Broncos win week 18, which could be huge.

Miami's not winning at Tenn. The Broncos game will have meaning. And frankly, that's what I'm hoping for, as long as the Chiefs beat the Bengals. I don't want to give up that streak. Not a fan of two weeks' rest either.

Didn't we have two weeks rest last year?

Didn't matter.

I could see Miami beating a Henry-less Tennessee. The Titans only won this week because Jimmy Garroppolo is total ass and AJ Brown won some jump balls.

The Dolphins have a strong secondary and good cover corners. Good D overall.

Question for me is if their O can do enough.

Third time in four years as well, no? Sorta anyway? From the Miami Miracle in 2018 that gave us the #1 seed over NE.

Tennessee hasn’t been particularly good for quite a while now. Miami could easily win that game.

If they do it for us again, I may have to adopt them as my second favorite NFL team.

Starters had 3 weeks off as backups played against LA.

We came out sharp against Cleveland in divisional too.

If Tennessee can lose to Houston at home then they can certainly be beat by the Dolphins.

“The Patriots aren’t losing another game”

Many on CP 2 weeks before the Patriots lost 2 in a row.

not chiefs related

but look at the possibility for 10 win teams to NOT make the playoffs. Thanks 17 game schedule.

:-) So true. When things are rolling we tend to expect them to just keep rolling, but all it takes is one bad week and shit can fall apart quickly.

I was reading about some seeding scenarios the other day and I believe there's a way for the Patriots to go from the #1 seed to out of the playoffs in just three weeks.

Shit, just last week the Browns were looking at either the #4 or #12 based on the results of their matchup with the Ravens.
