Sure, playing in Arrowhead is preferred, but the Chiefs are no slouch on the road and are far from invincible playing at home. Relatively small effect, all things considered.

Yes agree with all this. Biggest impact I see is making Cinci go to Buffalo, because I definitely think Cinci wins on a neutral. Shouldn't that be on a neutral since Cinci coulda had the 2? Maybe benefits us cause I'd rather play Bills.
