I'd say 14 wins is the floor with the extra game. Chiefs aren't losing more than 3

Barring an upstart team like the Chargers, who are really a complete unknown due to their new head coach and staff, or the Dolphins, in which Tua would need to turn into Fran Tarkenton overnight, the biggest threat to the Chiefs going back to the Super Bowl, IMO, is the Cleveland Browns.
The Bills have peaked. Josh Allen crumbles under the weight of carrying a team to a playoff victory and until he proves he can be that guy, he won't be that guy. The Ravens can't throw the ball, Big Ben is 150 years old, the South is in transition, as it always is, and the East is meh. And while Baker Mayfield is inconsistent, he has the ability to put together a streaky run, so if that happens late in the season and he gets hot, they're going to be a huge handful. |

Best thing possible for the Chiefs is that we never have a Brady-Manning situation in the AFC. As long as there’s a significant gap between Mahomes and the second best QB, we’re the front runners. |

I think out of the legit contending teams, I'd go with the Browns also. You nailed why I just don't fear the Bills, Ravens or Steelers. |

If they can get over those humps, they'll be a good team. Of course, we say this every year and every year they fail to get past either. |

Yep. IF they ever learn how to win the close ones...I think that's where Herbert comes into play. IF he proves to be legit, and I believe that he will, he'll get them over that obstacle. Top QB's do that for their teams.

That was Herbert's MO in college, and he pretty much continued the trend as a rookie in the NFL. |

Bills are relying heavily on 2 rookies and a 2nd year DE (Espenesa) to be excellent this year and get consistent pressure on Patrick. Dolphins are relying heavily on Tua. Ravens are relying heavily on Lamar and a rookie pass rusher. Browns have a new better defense with weapons and are relying on Baker. If I’m betting on who to rely on most of those options, it’s Baker |
