The odds of the Chiefs getting the second seed are pretty low even if we win out, so I haven't spent a lot of time even thinking about it.
However, I think the Texans could easily lose to the Titans. Their pass defense is not good, much worse than ours (ranked 28th), and their run defense is ranked just 19th. And their last game is against the Bucs, and the Bucs have put the voodoo on more than one team this year, including the Rams.
The Ravens probably won't lose two more games, but they're in a weird division. The Browns already beat them badly this year (I have no idea how, as I didn't see that game), but there's probably no good reason they can't do it again, unless the first win was just flukey as hell.
The Patriots could easily lose three games. They're not playing very well offensively right now. They aren't running well, and they aren't passing well, period. Their OL is terrible, and there's no help waiting in the wings for that group. In fact, their center Karras(?) got injured last night, and may not play against the Chiefs on Sunday. And I'm betting (heavily) that the Chiefs will beat the brakes off the Patriots this weekend. We're healthier at every position, we have a far better offense, an improved defense over last year, and Andy's had a year to look at the AFCCG and find multiple ways to beat that secondary.
The Bills are actually playing decent offensive football in recent weeks, and their defense has proven to be pretty stout. And I think they could also lose to the Dolphins, crazy as that sounds. MIA has been competitive lately, and Fitzpatrick is playing good football right now.
However, the only thing the Chiefs can control is winning out. They need to focus on that and let the chips fall where they may. Get into the playoffs and force everyone to keep up with us.
