So, you want to say that Denver has this early advantage... ok, fine.
2018: 3 out final 4 in KC
2017: 3 out final 4 in KC
2016: 3 out final 4 in KC
2015: 3 out final 4 in KC
2014: 2 out final 4 in KC
For the last 4 seasons, KC has enjoyed 75% of their final 4 games in Arrowhead. Cold, chilly, ugly Arrowhead in December.
12 of the 16 end of season games for the last 4 years have been there - not on the road. Are you telling me that this in no way helps KC and is better for KC than starting off with the reverse schedule?
I would absolutely love knowing that this year and for each of the last 3 years, Denver plays 75% of their final 4 games - a full quarter of the season at home when it's cold.
If you want to talk 5k's and 100 yard dashes, have it ... a 17 week NFL season is not a 'race'.

Tell you what - use your research skills to find out the affects of heat in thin air, and the subsequent effects it has on the human body in the short term. You'll get your answer as to why Denver has an overwhelming advantage playing at home in the beginning of the season. It's science. No amount of your Mile High Wordsmithing Mind Games will change the facts. Again, you know this...
This topic is a perfect example of why you're here in the first place. In the heat of overwhelming evidence to support an issue - you choose (because it fulfills a need that you have) the other side. It really shows your ignorance on this particular subject.
