"If the Chiefs have home field advantage in playoffs, they are going to Super Bowl"

Sweet words to the Homer in me. But, alas, they are just words.

If you’re wondering if the 7-2 Chiefs might be flying under the radar with national media, that’s not the case.

Among AFC teams, the Chiefs have the second-best chance to win the Super Bowl, according to fivethirtyeight.com. That 15 percent chance is just behind the Patriots (17 percent). The Chiefs are the top AFC team in Sports Illustrated’s power rankings. They are the second-best AFC team behind the Patriots, according to CBS Sports.

On Thursday, Peter Schrager, Senior National Football Writer for Fox Sports, said only one team in the AFC could beat out the Patriots for a spot in the Super Bowl: the Chiefs.

Schrager noted that the Chiefs have won 17 of their last 19 regular-season games and their home-field advantage is huge.

“The Chiefs do not lose at home,” he said. “They are on a 10-game winning streak in Arrowhead, which is the longest active streak in the entire league.”

Schrager says if the Chiefs win home-field advantage through the playoffs, they will make the Super Bowl.

“The Chiefs are simply built to beat the Patriots,” Schrager said.

Here is more on what Schrager said.

This team can't score. We aren't beating the Patriots. The Bucs will be a fight to the death this week.

The Chiefs pathetic offense has scored 24 or more points only TWICE with Alex Smith in the last 15 games.

The scoring defenses they faced: #22 Raiders, #27 Chargers.

But I'm sure they'll put up AT LEAST 24 against the Patriots #6 scoring defense.

The Chiefs can absolutely beat the Pats.

They skull-****ed them 2 years ago, and were a dropped INT away from tying/winning in New England last year.

Jesus you guys, pull your head out of your ass.

2014 Alex Smith and Jamaal Charles aren't walking through that door.

Instead we have a broken down version of that QB and a RB who runs a 4.5 instead of a 4.3.

Plus, what fantasy land are you living in where this team gets the #1 seed.

This team isn't beating anyone in the playoffs that isn't starting Brian Hoyer.

Yeah but all these smart guys don't even think the Chiefs can beat the Bucs this weekend

This defense usually has the length of the field to their back when opponents get the ball.

A lot of opportunity to come up big. Glad to see the team is working the way it was built.

Like the offense to get back in the groove and close out some of their drives.

seriously, clay is back?

Strange that he's become nothing more than a possession receiver with his measurables

Keep in mind this is the same Clay that beat off to Huard and LJ 2.7

Right now Id pick them over Houston, AFC north winner, Denver, Oakland, basically all probable playoff teams other than NE.

I won't pass judgment til a see him with a above avg quarterback. Has any #2 receiver been productive with smith at the helm?
