Historically, if you're going to beat the Chiefs, your odds are better in Sept than in any other month of the season. Problem is, Andy is 4-1 in Week 1 as the Chiefs HC, the one lone loss coming back in 2014, so it's been awhile.

But DET could do it. They finished the season last year 8-2 over the last ten weeks of 2022, and their defense, the real reason they didn't finish with a better record, really seemed to come on after Week 7 or so. They have a legit running attack, an improving OL, and some real receiving weapons over there. They ain't your dad's Lions anymore.

I think the Chiefs still win their opener, but DET probably will make it interesting. Coaching and experience will make the difference.

EDIT: Obviously, that should be 9-1 in Week 1 as KC's HC. Inexplicable typo, my bad.
