Let's talk wins and losses in April.

We do this every year, and anymore we seem to get pretty close (many of us).

My advice--if there are two games that you view as '50/50', just split 'em and move on.

Poll coming.

14-2. We lose the Mexico City game and the game at the Bears.

Pat goes back to back on the MVP, but has a little bit of a down year with 4,800 passing and 44 TDs. Life is good as a Chiefs fan.

Why can't we start the season at home?

16-0

Lol because we’re not the Broncos

I hate to tell you this - but the Broncos start on the road too.

14-2

Losses at Chargers and at Titans, because NFL

Anyway - probably 13-3ish assuming Brooke Pryor doesn't start making up shit about Patrick Mahomes or something.

What is wrong with me? I can see us at 10-0 going into the LA game? And winning that!

I have a bad case of the homeritis disease.

For the first time since 2011, the Broncos are starting on the road.

Broncos starting at home is practically an NFL tradition. Once every decade they open on the road, to appear “fair.”

First person to throw up some 9-7 type bullshit gets negged to death btw.

I mean...hopefully we’ll have the team to plow through any schedule but can we get one freebie? Jesus.

I'm guessing we lose at least two games before our bye and one game after it.

13-3.

Looks like we can get another fast start, HFA decided in the last few weeks.

I'd say 11-5.

11-5, 5500 yds passing 40+ TDs and single-digit INTs

JakeF, your move.

12-4

Losses to Jax, NE, Chi, LA

Where the hell do you guys see 5 losses. You guys do know Alex Smith isn't our QB anymore right? We can beat good teams with good QB's now.

4 at absolute worst IMO

**** Thursday night football. That is all.

Team will struggle but Mahomes will pull it out...24-23

What kind of bs way we gonna lose that Thursday game? 15-1

Yeah wtf

In a 9-7 scenario at this point, you're assuming going around 4-3 into the Packers, losing to said Packers team, losing to either TEN or LAC, then losing at the Pats and one DEN/@CHI/LAC

That’s what I’m thinking... Defense has growing pains for most of the season till they get it together for a playoff run..

Between 14-2 or 12-4 i got a bad feeling one game the ref will **** on us. But our team will still be America must watch team.

12-4

3 NBC games with 2 in KC. Media is showing love.

I went 12-4. TNF at Denver could be a real bitch. December obviously appears to be tough, and I could see a loss against either Indy or Houston but I’m not picking it to happen as of now.

I wanted to say 13 and ... nope, not going to do it. 12-4.

Pat is gonna fist Andrew in prime time. Don’t worry about that one.

The Chiefs can absolutely win every single game on this schedule. But obviously that won't happen. I see the tough games being @Denver on a thursday, @LAC (Mexico), @New England, and @Chicago. I see 14-2 and 12-4. The Chiefs should go undefeated at home.

11-5 at the worst, but I'll go with 13-3.

Possible losses:

Chargers in Mexico
Chargers @ Arrowhead
@ Bears
@ Patriots
@ Broncos or @ Raiders

3 out of the first 4 games are on the road. We should win all 4, but you never know what kind of ****ery could happen.

The 5 games in December could be our roughest stretch. We play all 3 division opponents (thankfully at Arrowhead). The Chargers should be the toughest of those 3. Then we play at Chicago and at New England, which will probably be our 2 toughest games of the regular season.

19-0 bichtcchs!!!!

12-4
W @ JAX
W @ OAK
W v BAL
W @ DET
L v IND
W v HOU
L @ DEN
W v GB
W v MIN
W @ TEN
L @ LAC
W v OAK
L @ NE
W v DEN
W @ CHI
W v LAC

From anywhere. Weird shit happens in this league.

The defense will likely still be subpar, Pat will probably have a statistical regression and we aren't likely to be so lucky as far as injuries are concerned this season.

I voted 13-3 on the poll. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if they ended up going 11-5, for a couple reasons.

One, everyone's going into the season circling their game with the Chiefs. Every DC and defensive unit is going to be studying every piece of film looking for weaknesses, and which teams slowed Mahomes down, and just doing their best to be ready for Mahomes. We aren't going to sneak up on anybody.

Second, we have no idea if our defense is going to be better than last year. But with a new DC, whole new system, and a nearly completely new roster of players, it's likely that our defense is going to show their ass a few times early in the season.

With that in mind, and remembering how tough the Ravens played the Chiefs last year, I think we could easily drop that game, even though we'll be at home and the Ravens have lost four key starters on D.

I think we split with the Chargers, and maybe even with the Broncos.

That's three losses.

I think we could lose to either the Colts or the Texans; again these games are relatively early in the season and I just don't believe our defense is going to be running perfectly until the last quarter of the season, hopefully.

And then there's the game at the Patriots in December. There could be snow on the ground. And 10 degrees. Maybe windy. Maybe snowing.

And even if we exact revenge and beat the Pats, two weeks later we have to go to Chicago, in late December. It could be the worst game the Chiefs have ever played in the last 10 or 15 years, weather-wise. At the very least, it's going to be cold and windy. Like 20+ MPH windy. Maybe worse. Throw in snow or sleet or both and our air raid offense is going to likely be grounded. However, our D might be just turning the corner by that game. And I just don't believe Trubisky is that great a QB. Not right now anyway. He might prove me wrong in two years.

So that's five losses. I hope I'm wrong, really wrong.

Because I just looked at the Browns schedule as well, and I think they might go 11-5 as well. And apparently so do both Ryan Clark and Louis Riddick.

Regardless, I believe we'll be in for a dogfight in the last quarter of the season.

I can hardly wait.

For some reason, I was more concerned with this schedule a few months ago. Now I see the order and I'm not so concerned. 3 home games in the division in December with a late bye week? Yes please.

13-3. GB will be your only home loss, and the other two will come from a pool of tough road games (Mexico City @ Chargers, @ Patriots, @ Bears, @ Broncos). Whether you're the #1 seed or not will depend on whether one of the two road losses is at New England.

10 days before the Packers i see.

I think 12-4 but went with 11-5

This.

The schedule is incredibly Chiefs friendly, probably due to MVPat.

I went 11-5 because I'm realistic

Matt Verderame picks KC to go 13-3 and be #1 seed in AFC. He picks KC over Saints for Super Bowl:

https://fansided.com/2019/04/17/nfl-...dictions-2019/

Not unreasonable. I figure 12-4 or 13-3. Big question is how well new defense works.

14-2

14-2 if the defense improves marginally. 16-0 if the defense is slightly above average.

I went 11-5 because I’m not sold on Spagnolu till I see this team in the second half of this year.

I could see us losing 2-3 games where we score a ton.

13-3

Losses to NE, Chicago and LAC in Mexico.

14 and 2. Back to back MVPs for Mahomes. After a sustained absence, defense returns to KC.

FAX

Minimum 4 losses. I could see us going 14-2. Losses at NE and Chicago and maybe once to San Diego and then another random loss somewhere.

3 losses but not to the patriots. We sweep the AFC west.

If the defense is like last year then 13-3. If the defense is just average 19-0 and super bowl champs!

Thursday NIGHT game in Denver on 4 days rest...this team is going to look like it's running in molasses. Having to travel and spend an entire day at altitude before playing...while already being exhausted from lack of proper recovery time.

I think Denver finally gets a win after nearly 4 years.

Somewhere between 12-4 and 14-2

:)

A good way to do this is pretend to be a fan of the opposing team and judge how you'd expect the game to go.

I'd say every team before the LAC game will expect to lose. The Packers fans wouldn't be surprised if they won "because Rodgers," which is fair. The Pats and Bears, both at home, will probably expect to win.

So, by chalk, 13-3 looks fair. You can normally assume we'll win and lose a game or 2 we don't expect. I'd say 11-5 and consider that conservative probably to the point of pessimistic. The sky remains the limit.

Because the Patriots and Broncos.

I really especially love them sending us to the two corners of the continent the first two weeks, @Jax and @Oak.

**** the NFL and their schedule makers.

Just one MNF game?

Ok, then...

SNF is where its at.

Chicago sucks balls. Ain't nobody afraid of Mitch Trubisky. Not even with our shitty defense.

It felt like last year's team could have had a better record than 12-4 and I belive this year's team should be better.

So anywhere between 12-4 and 14-2 but most likely 13-3.

Veach better make sure that defense is decent. No excuses.

Troof.

Way to early to know who's gonna be good or shitty.

I'll go 12-4 which as long as Pat is here will pretty much be my beginning thought.

If they can really bulk up the D and it comes together and the offense keeps rolling, 14-2 woulndn't be out the question but that's just damn hard to do.

K. Then replace Chicago with another road game against another decent team we're better than. Trubisky sucks balls but overall the Bears were a good team last year.

13-3 looks more and more feasible as I go through the games again. I think it’s more likely than 11-5.

Of course, we need to solidify the roster with a strong draft to stock the depth ahead of TC.

12 wins

disappointed there is no option for 19-0

Somewhere between 10-6 and 14-2.

Depends on how many games the refs decide on calling 10 penalties in the first 12 minutes (Rams)....or zero for the entire game (Pats)....or on the the last play (Chargers).

KC could have 15-1/16-0 last year....

I loved how the guys on 810 all kept coming up with 14-2 and retrofitted it to 12-4 because "that ain't happenin".


It happenin


14-2

I don't see why not. I think our defense will be decent with a fresh start and on offense we're obviously cream of the crop

i absolutely hate prime time games especially thursday and monday night games

Why? Arrowhead always looks gorgeous, the shots of KC always look gorgeous, we usually win them, the whole country talks about the Chiefs, the crowd, Mahomes and Reid.

And for those of us who live in other cities they're a godsend.

11-5<br />
Win @ Jax<br />
Win @ Oak<br />
Loss vs Bal<br />
Win vs Det<br />
Win vs Ind<br />
Win vs Hou<br />
Win vs Den<br />
Win vs GB<br />
Win vs Min<br />
Loss @ Ten<br />
Loss @ LAC (in Mexico)<br />
Win vs Oak<br />
Loss @ Pats<br />
Win vs Den<br />
Loss @ Chi<br />
Win vs LAC<br />
<br />
The brutal late season schedule sucks. We face quality teams and we'll be beat up.

You think they lose the home opener to Baltimore?

I think the Lamar Jackson experiment is about over and their defense appears to be much worse on paper.

Changing my record from 12-4 to 14-2!

19-0?

That expectation is based on Lamar shredding our run D and the D slowing our offense a bit. They gave us all we could handle last year. If our run D is improved (with Clark and honey badger and 3-4) or if their D is a step down (I did not know that) then we take it.

Why in the holy hell would this team lose to Baltimore or Tennessee?

I'm officially changing my vote to 14-2 . . .
