The order is record, division record, common opponent record, conference record,

Likely get bounced anyway. Thry'll.probably win 3 of 4, with the loss being to the Bengals.

At this point with those 4 games remaining and being up 1 game, the chances of KC not winning the division are so astronomically slim. Denver will do what I said, win 9-10 games and miss the playoffs.

Broncos will likely win 3 of the 4 looking at the schedule. Chiefs need to be very careful. On paper our remaining games don’t look so daunting, but this is an offense that could struggle to get to 20 points in any given contest. A few plays here and there given up by the defense (which has played its ass off and bailed out the offense too many times to count) and we could drop a few of these. Bengals are averaging 34 a game with Browning and have a stacked offense. Not sure if Herbert is coming back this season or not but that’s another tough game if he’s playing. We probably certainly take out NE and LV, I think???

The Bengals might be the most "losable" game on the schedule, but even if Denver runs the table and we go 3-1 with a loss to the Bengals, the Chiefs would win the division.

Just played around with the ESPN Playoff Predictor. If the Chiefs win their division games against Raiders and Chargers, then they own the tie-breaker with the Broncos. Very real possibility that we'll be going into Week 18 against the Chargers with the division on the line.

We are 2-4 the last 6 and they are 6-1 the last 7.

Denver is playing clean football, and the Chiefs are a Nascar campground porta-potty right now.

I think the last few years have you a little too beaten down, at this point there's a very good chance Denver takes this division. They are playing drastically better football than KC and it's not even really close.

There's a very real possibility KC can only pull out a 2-2 record these last 4 games, and that's being generous. Denver can easily take this thing.

Means Denver would have to win 2 more games than KC with 4 left… don’t know about tiebreakers at this point. I did run a scenario through the ESPN deal and there is a chance with 9 or 10 wins, a 7th seed Denver team would face a 12 win KC team in round one. That would be swell.
