In the Texans/raiders scenario, you avoid the steelers or pats til the afc champ game.
In the 2 seed scenario, you are likely to have to beat both Pit and go to NE. Even being on the road, I'd rather face Tom savage, Matt mggloin and Tom Brady big ben than just the latter two. |

The 5 or 6 seed also forces us to play an additional game with another 100+ snaps for important guys to get hurt.
I just want to be healthy and I like our chances. Pitt is a bad matchup but so is NE. Is the goal to win a playoff game or win the Super Bowl? |

Agreed. If you want to win a SB, you gotta beat good football teams at some point.

Last year the Chiefs lost Maclin to an ankle injury in the Wild Card game which rendered him ineffective vs. New England. Also Houston already beat the Chiefs this season despite shitty QB play, so it isn't like playing them with Savage would equal an automatic win. |

You know that's true and a good way to think of it. The bye gives you a week off and 1 less game to play or have to win.
More likely to win 3 games vs 4 and have everyone stay healthy. |

But there's gotta be a part that wonders... how much do you beat up an exhausted team to get a longshot chance at a bye with a tough set of matchups? |

Going 6-0 in division but somehow not getting 1st place would be really odd

But what if you treated San Diego like a virtual bye week? I wouldn't do it. But it's an interesting thing to consider. Hell, wouldn't be the first time our backups clowned the SD starters.

75.6% (31/41) of all Super Bowl winners in the "seeding era" were a 1 or 2 seed (56.1% or 23/41 for the 1s and 19.5% or 8/21 for the 2s). The next highest is a 4 seed at 12.2% (5/41), followed by 3 and 6 seeds at 4.9% (2/41 each), and 5 seeds at 2.4% (1/41). That one less game to have to win really matters. |

All roads go through New England, the best team in football. If the Chiefs want the ring-they need to man up and go up there and get it.
I don't want people to say we are not legit because we did not beat the Steelers and Pats. |
