Yes, Smith threw for 390 awhile ago. On 55 attempts. With 0 TDs. Yes, he threw for 325 as well. With 3 picks. He has 4 TDs and 5 picks on the year. I wouldn't say he's done anything overly impressive this year. The Pittsburgh game was probably his best overall, and even then, he checked down on every throw in the first half. Luckily, he's got a very good D that continuously shut the opposing team down and set him up with good field position. |

Worrying non-stop about the bye seems like a very pre-Mahomes era thing to do. Especially with little to no home field advantage this year. |

Smith made a couple nice throws amidst a sea of checkdowns. Got a lot of YAC on a few of those checkdowns. His team punted or turned it over on downs on 8 of their first 10 drives for God's sake. And barely moved the ball at all on those possessions. He's lucky he wasn't down by 3+ TDs at that point. |

Mahomes doesn't overcome injuries. Playing an extra game is just playing with fire.

Updated predictions after going through final 3 weeks of the playoff machine:
Wild Card: Saints (2) over Cardinals (7) Although this has upset potential Rams (3) over Seahawks (6) Tampa Bay (5) over Washington (4) Bills (2) over Browns (7) Ravens (6) over Steelers (3) Colts (5) over Titans (4) Divisional: Rams (3) over Saints (2) Green Bay (1) over Tampa Bay (5) I think TB would have a good shot but give GB the edge b/c of bye and cold weather... Chiefs (1) over Ravens (6) Bills (2) over Colts (5) Conference: Green Bay (1) over Rams (3) Weather again the deciding factor for me Chiefs (1) over Bills (2) SB LV: Chiefs (1) over Packers (1) |

If we win we'll be 13-1 and have the tiebreaker over them. They best they could do is 13-3 and with a win this week the worst we could do is 13-3? Is there some tiebreaker I'm missing? |

It's not about the home field advantage. In fact, I can make a strong argument that the Chiefs are a better team on the road this year than they are at home. Most of their big 'statement' wins have been on the road. It's all about that extra week off, giving guys more rest, healing from injuries, and the long mental grind of this COVID season. So getting that bye is a BIG advantage over other teams. And, again, having to only win 2 games to get to the Super Bowl, is a lot less wear and tear on a team that late in the season than having to win 3. |
