This is by an extremely wide margin. KC is in the bottom third of the league at these spots, while Denver is loaded for bear.
And while Andy Reid is a great leader and schemer, he has been a notoriously bad game day coach at times. It's not just clock management issues either, he has always had a reputation for completely abandoning the run. |
KC's WR group is an unknown. At worst, it will likely be decent. At best, it could be very solid (if Moore and/or Ross can contribute right away). A lot of people are predicting big things for Smith-Schuster in KC's offense. He's not catching balls from Roethlisberger's corpse or Rudolph anymore. Factoring in Kelce, KC's receiving weapons will be better than Denver's.
Your RBs are not significantly better than KC's. Ha. In fact, their YPC are worse than Jones and CEH. And will likely continue to be given KC's superior line.
KC has a lot of new faces in the secondary and DL. They can't be rated yet. It's probably a safe bet that Simmons will be the best safety between the two teams, but there's no reason to think there will be a significant advantage in the secondary overall. No one's scared of your DL. Based on last year's performance, you've got a bunch of JAGs. One thing's for sure...none of them are anywhere near Chris Jones's level.
Reid is one of the best gameplanners the league has ever seen. Nitpicking a few moments of poor clock management and the like is desperate at best. Odds are, he'll coach circles around your rookie coach.
