CHIEFS by 10+.

Schrager compared this defeatist complex Chiefs fans suffer from with what the Red Sox went through prior to the 2004 ALCS. I was lucky enough to be at game 7 of that series when the Red Sox finally vanquished the Yankees, and I was sitting next to Red Sox fans who - until the very last out (Sox won 10-3) - could not possibly believe that their team wouldn't somehow find a way to blow it.
That's just the reality of how this is going to be for a lot of Chiefs fans. They'll never believe until the clock strikes 0:00. I think they're just protecting their emotions, and while I can't blame them for that, I'm willing to roll the dice with a bit more realism and optimism.
