Ditto. I compared Chiefs game times to Vikes game times. I may have to stream 1-2 games. Guessing most will be on here.

Because Mahomes.

A schedule can only be so tough when you don't have to play the Chiefs.

Yeah, at least we don’t have to play the Chiefs.

Rough schedule. I could see us losing more than last year despite improving our roster, just because some of those bum teams have improved and we've got a target on our backs. Just got to buckle in

Oh *now* we have a target on our back? We have dominated our division and been the constant front runners in the AFC we did not shed the role of plucky underdog with this recent super bowl win.

I'm bullish on the Chiefs @ 11.5 Wins - ESPN

Well, yeah. Everyone wants to beat us, and everyone loves knocking off the SB winners a little more. But you're probably right, I'm not sure how much it moves the needle given most teams were pretty motivated to try and put us our place.

One other thing I was looking at was how our main rivals are likely to fare. I feel like predictions of the Bills demise might be a little premature but they have a pretty tough schedule too and their OL still looks s**t.

Dolphins schedule is tough and I don't know if you can trust Tua to hold up. Plus it feels like this year teams will have worked out ways to stifle the mega-speed and movement of Waddle and Hill.

Bengals schedule looks baby soft to me, but we'll see. Steelers have improved, Ravens finally have weapons and if Watson remembers how to play QB that's a good roster with a massively improved DL. I don't think those teams have a QB to offer a proper threat, but hopefully they can at least beat the Bengals up a bit.

Who else is there?

I don't think this schedule looks all that rough.

They get 3 proven CG/SB threats in the Bengals, Bills, Eagles. That's pretty awesome, plus maybe finally a Rodgers/Mahomes match up.

There seems to be several "could make the playoffs" teams, but for all the worry come playoff time in years past, the Chiefs have proven again and again there's a pretty significant gap between CG/SB contenders and everyone else.

And seems to me the NFCN could be a complete joke this season, given the Vikings won it last year and everyone knew they looked more like a 9-win team.... much less simply assuming teams like the Jags or Dolphins will automatically be better.

I love a (relatively) tough schedule, beats watching them play vanilla against the dumpster fires of the league until the real season starts in mid-January.

Eagles being favored and Chiefs underdogs was a bullshit parody. Everyone picking the eagles. We knew better.

We always get their best shot since Mahomes. Everyone wants to knock us off. We cant bitch about the schedule. Hopefully, its this way his whole career.
