80%

We just need to win out. If that happens, I have a really hard time believing we won’t take the 1-seed.

The stars, they are aligning
Like 2019 reminding
When the Dolphins beat the Pats in week 18 will be defining
Number 1 seed we’re taking
Super Bowl run in the making
When we punch our ticket to LA, opponents will be shaking

It seems so. Just keep winning.

Don't be jinxing anything.

No such thing

:doh!:

The browns beating the ravens tonight would really help

I think the chiefs have to go at least 5-1 to make the playoffs without too much help and that's concerning.

Today's games could get us one step closer as we have a lot riding on some of these.

Denver winning today would help. Chargers remaining schedule is a bit concerning to us winning the West. Especially since we have to go there on a Thursday night.

New England might lose one more game.

Chiefs have to win out.

If we're both 12-5 they win the AFC record tiebreaker.

I’d scratch Tennessee off that list at this point and add the Bengals.

12%

I really hate the fact that the Bears couldn't beat the Ravens with a backup QB last week. I swear for as unlucky as they've been injury wise, the Ravens have been the luckiest team in the league otherwise.

The Patriots play the Bills twice and the Colts once. No gimmes there.

They fluked out the Chiefs, Lions, Colts, and Bears wins. Their luck will run out at some point and I don't think they'll get the 1 seed.

As good as they are playing I can't give them more than one loss there.

They have a tough remaining schedule and they’re frauds. They aren’t winning out. They’ll lose at least two.

If the Chiefs win out, the Chiefs will get the 1 seed. No other team can do it.

The only game that worries me is @ LAC. The Chargers (with their negative point differential) aren’t really good at all. Their defense is terrible. But road Thursday night games can be weird.

Tony Dungy is the worst. Even when we win, he manages to get a dig in on the Chiefs.

Please retire.

Not worried about going to Cincinnati?

cincy lost to the jets and the browns, barely beat jacksonville

i trust andy reid to out coach some dude named zac with a 13-29 career record

Hey Drew, you've had that zit on your face for how ****ing long? Could you pop the damn thing?

If I had to rank them from most worrisome to least it would be:

(vs DEN, vs LV, at LAC, vs PIT, at CIN, at DEN)

At LAC (Thursday road game)
At CIN (Possibly the best remaining team)
Vs PIT (Best remaining coach)
Vs DEN (Andy Reid off a bye, not worried)
Vs LV (We’re a really bad matchup for them)
At DEN (I don’t think Denver will be playing for anything. If we drop one or two before this game, then we be playing for anything significant either)

PIT will get it's shit pushed in

Cincinnati is very dangerous. Legit QB and dangerous WRs

Here’s a reason for optimism against the Bengals. They’ve allowed the 10th most sacks in the league. Of the teams with more sacks allowed, only the Bears and Seahawks have fewer passing attempts.

Clark, Jones, and Ingram should feast.

The New England and Buffalo games are the most interesting ones left to me, we'll sort out just how good those two teams are. Ravens just feel like they're floating by and catching break after break. Titans need to get a ton of guys healthy to have any chance. Cincy obviously has a ton of young talent. Buffalo can't run the ball and New England has a rookie QB. Although with Belichick the Pats are dangerous. He's the mastermind of using safe defenses to slow down offenses like ours and Mac Jones looks like a legit QB.

Playoff machine is back up

The Patriots and Chiefs are both playing very well right now so I would not be surprised by an AFC Championship game rematch. In such a game, I would favor the home team.

But the Titans may be the best AFC team come playoff team if they get their best skill position players healthy on offense before the playoffs start but until they do, they are a marginal playoff team at best.

The New England-Tennessee game was closer than final score indicates but the Titans are not a team built to withstand the losses of Henry and 2 of their top receivers.

The Ravens have not impressed me recently. How much of that is injury issues that may be solved by the playoffs, I don't know. When the scariest thing about the Titans is Lamar Jackson's running ability and their FG kicker, I wouldn't bet on them making the SB.

I would not want to face the Titans in round 1 of the playoffs if they have their players back/healthy and well rested.

The Titans are so done LMAO

The Patriots are the scariest of the bunch as far as the Chiefs are concerned, only because their Defense is so sound, and the Chiefs offense has really struggled to find consistency. We know the Patriots play damn good coverage, and BB will find ways to ever further **** us on an issue we're clearly having problems with.

However, i feel like if our D keeps playing the way it has that they'd match up extremely well with NE. They'd press, pressure and smother that Patriots short passing game.

Chiefs vs Patriots might be one of those 13-9 type games.

Derrick Henry isn't coming back this year. And they weren't going to challenge anybody for the Super Bowl even when he was healthy.

They're a ****ing joke, and the only reason why you're afraid of them is because your team got jacked the last time they trotted out a lackluster offensive lineup and a limited game manager QB and hoped they wouldn't get the ball shoved down their throat in the running game.

Chiefs need to win out, but even then, I suppose it’s possible NE wins out and takes the #1.

No matter how it shakes out seeding wise, I think barring anything crazy we are headed to NE/KC in the title game.

The Patriots will fizzle fast . They just gave up 270 rushing yards to a Henryless Titans team. 6.9 ypc...... and 4 turn overs by the Titans.

@Buffalo
@Indy
Buffalo

Next 3 weeks gonna be interesting for them

If we end up playing NE in the AFCCG I'd just as soon go to Foxboro as play at home. Our defense is ruthless on the road.

So is our offense...

People were scared of average Titans teams the past few years, and now that they actually have a defense (and handed the Chiefs their worst loss in a long time), they're a joke?

When healthy, they were solid.

Was not aware that they allowed 270. Amazing that a team could rush for almost 300 and still get blown out.

**** that- we need to play at Arrowhead so I can go to 2 straight.

We were LOUD last year and that would be nothing compared to playing the Pats with a full crowd.

Buffalo blows out the Patriots. Book it. I think Buffalo is the bigger threat in the AFC.

We have Patrick Mahomes- other teams don't.

I think people need to remember this.

Against Tennessee without Henry, Patriots were less concerned with the run and they tried to take away the pass. The Patriots strategy worked and Tannehill threw for only 93 yards.

The Titans did well running the ball but if you are going to play the "what if" game, realize their running numbers don't look nearly as good if you take away 2 runs.

I just don’t see a blowout. Matter of fact I think the Pats win this game. Buffalo has no running game, or RB to scare anyone. Bill will clamp down the pass D with lots of pressure on Allen, and dare them to run (which they can’t). Plus how many big games have we seen Allen choke under high pressure? I think it’s a close game the Pats win.

Buffalo and NE will likely split their two matchups. Will probably come down to their other games for the AFC East. Buffalo has a game at TB, NE plays at Indy. I like NE’s matchup against Wentz better than Allen against that D-Line in TB. NE will likely win the AFC East.

Chiefs will be competing with Titans (who are a mess right now, due to injuries) and the Pats for the #1 seed in the AFC. Also, don’t sleep on the Bengals. Playing really well the last 3 weeks and that game against KC in late December could have a big impact on playoff seeding.

Should be an interesting last month and a half.

You're missing Baltimore in that equation, who is honestly the odds-on favorite at this point.

We don't need the ****ing #1 seed anymore. We have the experience to go anywhere and play.

**** IT, WILL DO IT LIVE

What do you mean? Their defense is the worst it’s been in several years. Certainly their defense from the AFC Championship a few years ago is better than what they have now (or did have earlier in the season)

Just because we shit the bed against them doesn’t mean they have a great defense. They don’t

I’ll buy you a box of doughnuts if Baltimore gets the 1 seed.

Not happening. It’s gonna be the patriots or the chiefs.

Patriots have a doable path, for sure. The Chiefs have to run the table. If we do, the Patriots can lose the lead on us if they lose one game, just one game. But they don't have many potential losses on their calendar -- the duo with Buffalo is about it for them. So if we lose once, which I expect we'll do, we almost certainly lose out.

Baltimore has to lose twice, of course, if we run the table. Baltimore has a hell of a schedule ahead of them and very well may lose twice.

I just think the hardest equation here is us running the table -- we have a doable schedule but expecting perfection down the stretch is hard for anyone, much less our mistake prone squad this year.

I concur. Plus the Pats will be in the Bills' head.

Oh no he was referring to "contenders". He didn't miss anyone.

Playing around with the NYT simulator a bit, it looks like we would have a pretty good shot at it (~75% chance) if we win out. That's taking into account all of the other likely scenarios for other teams. A single loss drops that down to ~20%, though.

So yeah, we can definitely do it, but it's almost certainly going to require running the table.

That's good to know because we are not getting it without a total melt down by the Titans and Pats.

Pats will drop 1 or 2 before post season, same with Titans. It's the Ravens we have to worry about.

Are people really afraid of the Patriots and a rookie QB? You guys realize they have beat only 2 winning teams all year right?

And one of them was last Sunday against a nuetered injury rittled team

Would love the 1 seed but after the tumultuous start of the season, still just feel like win the division get into the playoffs and we have as good a shot as any. Would be happy with 2 seed as well. Got a chance to still play at arrowhead throughout the playoffs if the 1 seed gets knocked out.

Baltimore is losing to GB and probably the rams. I can even see them splitting with the Browns.

Pats have a pretty good chance but Bill has lost to the dolphins in the past so don't count them as a shoe in for it. They probably split with Buffalo and could lose to the colts.

Gonna come down to the last game this year I think. Seems like the NFL backlogged division games more this year

And the other is 6-5.

Not to mention that they're playing complimentary football - rush heavy to help keep things simple for him.

Things will ramp up in the playoffs. He'll have to play even better than he is right now. We saw what happens even to the best rookies when that happens.

How good are the Chiefs chances at the AFC's #1 seed?
 

The Chiefs have a better chance of winning out than the Patriots. They could easily be 0-3 in their next three games with two against the Bills and the Colts sandwiched between them with 1-2 seeming pretty likely to me.

This statement got me intrigued, so I went to look.

Every AFC game in week 18 is a noon game, except the AFCW matchups.

I don't think we win out, guys.

That's a lot to ask of any team in the NFL.

I also don't think the #1 seed is super imperative.

I really don’t get it. They don’t even scare me a little bit.

It's possible especially if our d keeps playing the way it is. However, I'm not expecting it.

I think we at 9-4 going into the Chargers game got a feeling we win that one. Possibly lose to the Bengals but really nothing has changed from the start of the season in terms of if the Chiefs bring their A game no one is beating them.

We’ve gone on long winning steaks throughout Reid’s tenure. Sure, it’s probably unlikely, but it shouldn’t shock us either.

Let's break it down a bit.

Chiefs are better than Denver and Denver is banged up AR after a bye etc. That is a win

Raiders - Chiefs put a beat down on these guys in their house, we get them at home and although it is a divisional matchup this game is one of the few we absolutely dominated. That is a win

Chargers - We moved the ball well and lost this game due to turnovers. Even so it came down to a game altering call on a 3rd and 10 for the Bolts to win. Away game and short week this is the greatest risk but the Chiefs can no doubt not turn the ball over in this one and win. I'd go with a win here

Steelers - they suck this is a win. Ingram gets 2 sacks in a revenge game. At home as well.

Bengals - They don't really have any impressive wins, outside of Balt but we know they are banged up and not that great. Still think this is were the Chiefs could falter especially if Bengals come in hungry this game. - Probably the only L i see happening

Denver - Their season is over at this point, Chiefs W here, unless we can't improve seeding and the Chiefs rest their guys.

jesus 6 games to go.......

Their defense is damn good. And their offense has pieces but this isn’t Brady. Mac is a shadow of Brady.

He’s been good but we
Have Mahomes ffs

I do think that running the table is very possible. Just hard to expect this Chiefs team not to drop any stinkers between now and the playoffs.

It's not inconceivable that Mahomes has another crazy game where he reverts back to forcing things and tosses a ton of picks.

I'd give us about a 50% chance at running the table.

i messed with the simulator and the bengals have a really good chance at the #1 seed.

Especially if they win this week vs the chargers, and somehow beat us.

For the chiefs, if the bengals beat the bolts, and we beat the broncos - the at Cincy game is a critical game for both teams.

They've got two games against a good divisional opponent in the Bills, a feisty Colts team, and one against the Dolphins who they historically struggle against.

That's four tough games and three of them are on the road. I'm not saying they will lose any or all of these, but I would not be shocked if they dropped two or even three of them.

What you’re all forgetting IS.... this is 2019 all over again. Pats are gonna lose in Miami week 18 to give us the 1 seed. Have faith, this is the way!

Sorry, I should have elaborated more on them in my post.

I think they lose 3 of their remaining 6 games and therefore will NOT be in the discussion for the #1 seed, unlike the Chiefs, Pats and Titans.

Chiefs may run the table, but will probably lose one.

Pats will lose one, possibly two.

As bad as the Titans have looked, their schedule is very favorable down the stretch. They shouldn't lose more than one. Now, saying that, I realize they just lost to the Texans a couple weeks ago so, admittedly, anything is possible there.

We'll see, I guess.

The Patriots definitely don’t scare me, but a team will need to play a relatively mistake free game to beat them in foxboro in the post season.

Mac is a damn good QB and doesn’t get enough credit because he doesn’t have a WOW arm and he’s not going to beat you as a runner. But he’s very football smart, reads defenses, doesn’t make many poor decisions and is a leader.

The only team that halfway scares me on the road or at home in the playoffs would be New England. Probably more to do with the Belichick factor than anything else, the ghost of the past.

Yep. It's all because of Belichick.
