5 Reasons the Chiefs will win the division

[Chief Roundup]

Pretty big statement as well as a flip flop from recent previous article.

Lol at all the Raiders fans' comments on that piece. They are a confident bunch. Or perhaps a better description would be over confident.

At this point, given the way things have started... I wouldn't be surprised by any losses with these teams. They all have their own unique issues and none are dominant across all areas.

Everyone has been expecting us to lose to the Colts. I know it's a road game and Andrew Luck and we have a bad history with that team. Still, I think this Chiefs team is better and should win that one.

Instantly makes the defense better. Expecting rust but should elevate everyone else's play and confidence.

This is why it's our best shot at a super bowl. So wide open.

Why would everyone be expecting us to lose to the Colts?

They are a bad team with an overrated QB.

All roads still go through NE as of now, and that sucks for the AFC contenders.

The Bills won @ NE and sit one game back at 4-2, so that's actually pretty huge... they have to maintain that position and somehow knock NE from the top spot, hard to do and I doubt they're up for the challenge.

Neither the Jets nor the Dolphins are a threat at this point, and every team in the North is a hot mess. Houston is the top team (barely) in the South, they'll duke it out with IND and we'll see how that goes.

The AFC West could easily (and likely should) send 2 teams to the playoffs. Not that it means much, but the West has the most cumulative wins and the most conference wins through 6 games.

This next stretch of games is going to tell us a lot.

We hung in there with major injuries. So I hope we at least can have a healthy playoff run for once man.

First four game are usually feelers. Seeing how your team plays and responds to adversity. We did what I thought we'd do without Jamaal and Houston so far. I'm fine with where we're at with the exception of getting embarrassed in pittsburgh and our offense being complete ass, so I hope that turned up the focus.

Yep, through 6 weeks, I had the following projection...

OAK 3-3 ... had them losing @ TN, @ BAL and KC
DEN 3-3 ... had them losing @ IND, @ CIN and @ SD
KC 3-2 ... had them losing Jets and @ Steelers
SD 2-4 ... had them losing @KC, @ IND, @ NOS, @ OAK

[O.city]

I think the chargers are gonna be there til the end. Injuries are killer for them though.

[Mile High Mania]

Over the next 4, I had projected:

Denver 3-1 (beating HOU, SDC, NOS and losing to OAK)
Raiders 3-1 (beating TAM, DEN, HOU and losing to JAX)
Chiefs 3-1 (beating NOS, IND, JAX and losing to CAR)
Chargers 2-2 (beating TEN, MIA and losing to DEN and ATL)

Again, will be interesting to see this unfold.

I'm sure that you would like to see the West send 2 teams to the playoffs because you expect that wild card to be Dungver. Sorry man. 8-8 is the ceiling and that's not getting you guys a wild card. The Wildcards will be Pittsburgh and Buffalo. (Assuming that Big Ben misses enough time that Cincinnati takes the division, otherwise, Cincinnati gets that wc spot.)

Did you not see many of the preseason game by game and/or overall record predictions? Yeah, I never thought the Colts were that good and this season is proving that.

Enh, through 6 weeks - way to early to tell at this point, and there are only 6 teams over .500 at this point, Denver's one of them.

Texans, Chargers, @ Raiders, @ Saints, Chiefs - There's at least 2 or 3 wins
@ Jaguars, @ Titans, Patriots, @ Chiefs, Raiders - Another 2 or 3 wins

You really believe they can't win 5 of those remaining 10? I think they can get to 10 wins without really going out on a limb.

I could see those 5 bold as wins and the blues are toss ups.
