Fivethirtyeight pegs us at a 70% likelihood of winning this matchup

What's changed since our last matchup?:
Jeremy Maclin appears to be returning to form coming off an 82 yard game (2 very impressive receptions for gains of 44 yards and a 17 yard pickup on 3rd down) .
Denver suffered key losses to both the Titans and Patriots, currently they have just a 17% chance of making the playoffs.
Chiefs have a 99% chance of making the playoffs according to several sites including NYT and FivethirtyEight.
Denver's run game has been pitiful, averaging roughly 3 YPC. Forsett is now their starter.
Von Miller purchased everyone in the entire AFC West a custom bottle of wine.
Vegas has the Chiefs at 4 to 1 odds of winning the AFC.
Early forecasts call for a snowy but relatively warm game.


Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and GO CHIEFS!

and what was the percentage before the titans game? don't post shit unless you agree with it

4-1 odds... thats ****ing genius considering there are only four teams in each division.

I'm still very busy catching up to reading the crybabies in every post.

At first, it was really annoying, but now, it's just expected and comical.

10-4, and one of perhaps three AFC teams as likely SB contender... and the same fans are in the corner... tears running down their faces and pissing themselves..

I am still burning over that Smith EZ pick, no lie, but this team is the same as it was. KC might be able to squeak out important wins if Andy Reid gets out of his own way... but it's painful.. because this offense could really soar, if allowed to.

* The constant injuries (including slow recoveries for active guys)...
* Reid going into a shell after any lead.. the DROPS (5th worst before yesterday... and a special **** you to DAT)...
* the 19th ranked rush offense in dvoa..
* and yes, the occasional wtf? horrid QB decision...

... but back to the offense could really soar... we have seen the stretches where this offense cuts loose. We KNOW what they could do, if unshackled.

So for people to STILL not get that it's the coaching philosophy at work here? That suggests that they just don't want to.

Whether from fear of recognizing that Andy's not going anywhere and not gonna change.. or simply hating the QB.. or just being too ignorant to blame anyone but the QB... they just can not allocate portions of blame where they truly belong.

But we AREN'T a SB contender. No dominant defense and inconsistent offense ...no chance

Then who is? aside from NE, who are the other true, legit SB contenders in the AFC?

You strike me as the type of guy who simulates a Madden season then furiously masturbates to the stats.

I personally don't see how Denver can win this game short of their defense scoring three touchdowns, and the only thing that makes me doubt that is 538's prediction that KC is going to win.

*For some reason I can't post links. Sorry.

538, NYT and Vegas has KC as the heavy favorite. And basically a 40% chance of winning the 2nd seed.

So...either take it or stop watching???
