Wrong That would assume about equal odds to win the game We will probably be underdogs, quite likely 2:1 52% to make the playoffs, presuming wildcard birth 2:1 against in 1st game Would be closer to 15% than 25 Likely it is somewhere closer to 15 % than 25. I'm guessing less even.

Even if I take as true your statement that the chiefs have a 52% chance to make the playoffs, they would NEED to be EVEN odds in the 1st playoff game to have a 25% shot to get a single playoff win. Tell me how this is possible when 1) we will probably be playing AWAY 2) we will be a wildcard team playing a division winner Your 25% number is flat out wrong. Probably so is your 52% number but I am not sure....and it doesn't matter.

You gotta figure the Broncos, Patriots, and Colts will be division winners. I'm guessing the Pats torch the rest of their schedule, meaning that AGAIN, the wild card games will be (a.) in Indy, and (b.) whoever wins that mess of the AFCN. Who's the best matchup for the Chiefs among IND/PIT/BAL/CIN? (I don't believe in Cleveland.) I think the best matchup is Baltimore or Cincinnati, but we can probably take any of those teams to the wire. I'd love another shot at Luck this year. |

Just beating the Jets and then the Raiders twice gets us to 7 wins.
If we go 3-3 the rest of the games, that makes 10 wins. I think 9 is probably a realistic expectation, but 10 or even 11 is possible if we catch some breaks against good teams. It's encouraging to see the software say we have a better than average chance to make the playoffs after starting off against such a tough start to the year. |
