The bye isn’t a magic thing. It’s that they’re awarded to the best teams.

Simple statistics there, pal. The fewer games you have to play against accomplished opponents to make the Super Bowl the better your probability. Not magic, of course, but increases your odds significantly. According to you and several other talking heads looking for clicks the Chiefs aren't the best team in the AFC heading into the playoffs. Im sure that has been the case in the past 7 seasons as well several times.
