Sagarin NFL Ratings: Chiefs #8 (#32 SOS)
Anyone disagree? In the rating we have the worst schedule in the NFL so far, with Denver only 1 slot better. After this week when they've played Jax it might change, but we are playing the 2-3 Raiders so it might still be close.
http://sagarin.com/sports/nflsend.htm On point differential however, we have an expected W/L record of 4.3-0.7 whereas Denver is only 3.8-1.2. However, the simple rating system (Pro Football Reference) has them at a whopping 15.4 vs us at 8.9 based on our low SOS. We're behind the same Sagarin teams like Seattle, Indy, NE, etc: http://www.pro-football-reference.co...s/kan/2013.htm I'm having trouble finding any computer ranking that puts us in the Top 5. This computer ranking system was the worst at 16th overall which seems stupid but at least he's predicting a 6.03 point win vs Oakland Sunday: http://talismanred.com/ratings/nfl.shtml |

At the start of the season, some info from last year is incorporated into the ranking, and at some point drops out.

Its such a bad schedule due to how terrible the NFC EAst is, and thats partly due to how the AFC West has improved as a whole by a lot and destroyed the NFC EAst. Plus Jacksonville..

This doesn't go against the assertion that the Chiefs have played mostly a docket of shitty teams thus far, but somebody should do the math of the SOS of undefeated teams in the NFL. Say, for 5-0 teams historically. As a 5-0 team, that means you've dealt a loss to each team on your schedule. Naturally, that will lower the overall record of your opponents. Because you've been handing them losses.
Also, three of the under .500 teams the Chiefs have faced (Cowboys, Eagles, Giants) have also played the Broncos, another 5-0 team. There's another 3 losses. Those three teams, sure, are kinda poopy and smelly, but it doesn't help a poopy and smelly team to have had to face TWO perfect teams through the first 5 weeks of the season. I'm willing to bet that a good portion of 5-0 teams in NFL history had low strengths of schedule. That's kinda how it works out, mathematically. |

I'll say this,
You look at the talent on this team, and you look at the first nine games of the year. Every single one of us would say "the Chiefs SHOULD have a good chance to win all of those games, but I bet they end up 8-1 or 7-2." If we go into the bye 9-0, I'd say we did our job exactly as it needed to be done. We're not pretending to be anything other than we are. And we are going to bring every ounce of everything we can against the Broncos. |

If we can get to 6-0 i'd be totally thrilled, its almost a mathematical certainty we go to the playoffs after that, barring some supremely spiteful act of God. Just kill these faders at home and i can deal with the rest, there are certainly going to be some losses in the future but they'll end up being good for the team. Kinda like the old saying "you learn more from losing than winning", the losses will help keep them angry and sharp. |

It bears mentioning that the Cowboys and Eagles are 2-1 against non-Chiefs/Broncos teams.
The Giants are 0-4. The Jags are also 0fers. The Titans are 3-1 against non-Chiefs teams. My contention is that we've beaten three real good teams, and two shitrockets. Shitrockets that we've beaten by at least three touchdowns each, by the way. This team is for real. Last edited by Direckshun; 10-11-2013 at 12:12 PM.. |

Until you remember that the Eagles and Cowboys both have wins over the shitrocket Giants. The Boys only other win this season came against a slightly less shitty shitrocket in the Rams and the Eagles only other win came against the shitstain Redskins. You can only play your schedule though. Before the season, everyone thought we were going to be facing a murderer's row so **** 'em now. |

My guess is our letdown game is Cleveland. Not necessarily a loss, but Cleveland is sneaking up on everybody this year. Pretty sure this team will be on its game for Oakland, Houston, and Buffalo. |
