The teams we play home and away are not subjective. It’s math.
If you’re desperate to pretend that the NFL otherwise schedules the Chiefs in such a way, enjoy that fantasy. Some teams win in some years and lose in others based on rest. I’m sure Chiefs fans only acknowledge it when that disadvantages them.
The rest factor is far more likely a function of the fact that we play an insane amount of prime time games, and that’s a function of the team’s success.
