1. KC (14-2)
2. NE (12-4)
6. DEN (10-6) @ 3. HOU (12-4)
5. LAC (11-5) @ 4. PIT (10-5-1)
I'm just not sold on the Colts, yet...maybe I should be rather than giving DEN too much credit. But DEN has 2 remaining home games vs LAC (who they already beat in LA) and CLE and their remaining 3 road games are vs CIN, OAK, SF...all being very winnable. They can run the ball very well. Oline can run block like a mofo. They have a good defense. That's a formula for success in December when weather gets bad. Their downfall will be Vance Joseph. The guy is an incompetent loser. He'd rather put the ball in Keenum's hands than run the ball. They're not at that point yet where they can do that and expect to win important must-win games. Keenum isn't "that" guy....and deep down I think Elway knows it.
Other than @PHI, HOU's schedule is a god damn cakewalk from here on out. Lucky bastards. Still not sold on Watson as a long term franchise QB. Hope that ****ing piece of overrated shit comes into Arrowhead in the playoffs.
LAC has a brutal remaining schedule, still has to play @KC, @PIT, @DEN..possibly without Melvin Gordon. BAL and CIN aren't really cakewalks either, but LAC should take care of them at home.
PIT also has a brutal remaining schedule, still has to play NE, LAC, and @NO. Luckily for them NE and LAC are at home.
We all know NE plays in a god damn shitty ass division and has for years...which is partially why they get HFA all the time. Their remaining sched only has the @PIT game as a game of concern...unless MIN pulls a rabbit out of their ass and wins in Foxboro...I don't see it happening but you never know. But I don't think NE is the NE teams that's we've seen in the past, and I think NE will lose 1 of those games. I'm really leaning on thinking they won't be able to go into PIT and win, in past years I would have said otherwise, I just don't think this Pats team is as good as those in the past. It's also the time of year where that team starts taking care of biz...we'll see.
Chiefs need HFA if they expect to make the SB. I don't think this team would be able to go into Foxboro in the postseason and win vs Brady/BB and refs. Same goes w/ PIT, even though KC already beat them in their place. Hard to beat someone in their place twice. Even w/ their most recent loss, they're still a better team now than they were when KC played them earlier in the season, and they'll have bulletin board material, they'll be hungry wanting revenge..when it matters most. And you can bet they'll get the favorrable ref calls as well. Playing on the road in the postseason is difficult. On the flip side...I don't think there's one team in the NFL that can come into Arrowhead and beat the Chiefs. It took 2 road games vs 2 of the best teams in the NFL to put up 40+ and 50+ pts to beat KC, both games losing by just 3 pts....think about that. Had either of those games been played in KC, the Chiefs win both of those games by a couple scores.
