every year in the NFL there are 8 or so elite teams that will get their wins no matter what. There are also around 8 crappy teams that aren't going to make it regardless. The rest of the teams in the league have their win/loss record go up and down based on SOS.
So technically yes "good teams win no matter what" but only the elite type teams.
There is huge grey area around that statement.
The Chiefs are NOT elite yet so they can still be a better team than last year and have a worse record because of their SOS.

The way I look at it is as simple as we only have 2 games different than everyone else in the AFC West, that's it. If we beat the second place AFC West team twice that makes up for any disadvantage we have in the 2 possibly harder games.
