A way to look at where the Chiefs stand... - Page 2

I like to divide the schedule into four sections. Division, same conference games, different conference games, NFC games.

In the AFC West, the schedules are identical save the two different conference opponents. So to see where each team truely is, I like to break down the results into these four catagories (alphbetical order):

Updated 10/29/07:

Division games:
Denver 1-1
KC 2-0
Oakland 0-3
SD 2-1

KC and SD have road wins. However, SD has dropped one at home. BIG advantage here to the Chiefs.

AFC South:
Denver 0-2
KC 0-2
Oakland 0-1
San Diego 1-0

Houston has a ton of injuries and Oakland and Denver have yet to play them. KC lost that chance in week 1. Tenn hasn't really looked very good the last couple weeks, so maybe there is a chance to pick up a game there.

NFC North:
Denver 0-1
KC 1-1
Oakland 0-1
SD 1-1

Going into the season this looked like a favorable conference to draw. But a 2-2 split would be a good result IMO. Oakland and Denver have lost a home game in this section which puts them behind SD and KC.

Other Conference games:
Denver 2-0 (Buffalo/Pittsburgh)
KC 1-0 (NYJ/Cincy)
Oakland 2-0 (Miami/Cleveland)
SD 0-1 (NE/Baltimore)

In a year where this division seems pretty balanced, this section will go a long way to determine who comes out on top. Oakland has their only two wins here and Denver has 2 of their 3. So to keep pace, two wins are needed. KC must win at the Jets late in the year. By then, Clemens should be starting. Hopefully they don't have a resurgance under the new guy.

The results from this analysis still show that so far, no team in the division has won games that KC can't. SD's style allows them to have more comfortable wins. I doubt KC will have any gimme's the rest of the year.

Would you like KC's chances against 'em on the road?

We barely lost at Pile High last year, 9-6. We have 2 road victories in the AFCW this year. Yeah. I like our chances as long as we won't need actual points to win.

Look at the bright side: The Chiefs scored more points yesterday than the Red Sox.

I feel that rothlessbooger is overrated without the Bus to carry him.
