Sports Illustrated: 5 Writers Choose Chiefs as AFC Champs, 2 as Super Bowl Champs
https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/11/08/su...n-nfl-playoffs

Who Will Win Super Bowl LII? Our NFL Midseason Predictions

I included the Chiefs only in this thread

AFC CHAMPION: Patriots (9 votes), Chiefs (5), Steelers (4)

NFC CHAMPION: Eagles (9), Seahawks (4), Rams (2), Vikings (2), Saints (1)

SUPER BOWL LII CHAMPION: Eagles (4), Patriots (4), Steelers (3), Chiefs (2), Rams (2), Vikings (2), Seahawks (1)

ROBERT KLEMKO

If it comes down to these two teams, the matchup to watch would be Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce vs. this Seahawks secondary, and Seattle has been gashed recently by some talented tight ends. I'd bet on Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas, Bobby Wagner and Richard Sherman to remedy this by season's end. Shut down Kelce, and the Chiefs don't look so tough.




TIM ROHAN

The Eagles continue to roll through the NFC, and the Chiefs find their footing in the AFC. The Chiefs are the better all-around team, and Alex Smith outplays Tom Brady again in the AFC Championship, just as he did all the way back in Week 1. That gives us … drum roll, please … the Andy Reid bowl. We get two weeks of pregame hype about Reid and his mentee Doug Pederson, about the glory days of McNabb and Westbrook and Terrell Owens in Philly. Version 2.0 might be better. Smith, Kareem Hunt, and Tyreek Hill lead the Chiefs to the title.



ANDREW BRANDT

It has been the year of the Eagles from the start. They have been winning without their best cornerback (Ronald Darby), their most versatile offensive weapon (Darren Sproles), their best linebacker (Jordan Hicks), their best offensive lineman (Jason Peters) and even blew out the Broncos without their best receiving target (Zach Ertz). They have a top 5 defensive line, a top 5 offensive line and a top 5 quarterback. They have beaten teams on subpar offensive days and on subpar defensive days, and have blown teams out when both have clicked. And Doug Pederson has Andy Reid's creativity with a freshness to it that is fun to watch. In one of the more stunning turnarounds in NFL history, they are the team to beat and it doesn't even look particularly close at this point.



BEN BASKIN

I almost picked the Patriots simply because I still really don’t want to bet against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. But are they a better team than the Steelers or the Chiefs or the Eagles? No, they are not. So I’m going to go with logic over instinct. Andy Reid has created one of the more dynamic and exciting offenses in the league this year, matched only by Doug Pederson and the Eagles. We would get Reid exorcising old demons and beating the team that fired him. We would get Alex Smith completely rewriting the narrative on his career. We would get Travis Kelce end zone dances and Kareem Hunt doing Kareem Hunt things. This is the fun Super Bowl that the NFL needs to save what has been an incredibly not fun season.



JOHN DEPETRO

The NFC Divisional matchup between the Cinderella Los Angles Rams and the 15-1 juggernaut Philadelphia Eagles is the true Super Bowl LII. Goff's Rams edge Wentz's Eagles in an all-time classic. Old-man Drew Brees' last best shot at a title ends in a half-empty Los Angeles Coliseum. The Kansas City Chiefs grind through three tough playoff games, overcoming the Bills, Steelers and the Patriots. Weary from the cold and brutal road to the Minneapolis, the Chiefs fall short and the once-dead Rams franchise wins its first Lombardi trophy since 1999, and Tinseltown is now home to the Oscars and the 2017 Super Bowl Champs.

I'm not sure we are anymore.

New England's defense hasn't allowed more than 17 points in a month.

During that time frame our offense has fallen off dramatically and if the Chiefs played the Pats again, I'd bet against Brady going 16 for 36.

You also didn't think they'd win in week 1 either. Hell, none of us did.

As you noted, things shift quickly in the NFL. We're two months away. Being so low in a 4 game stretch after being so high on a 5 game stretch....with an easy schedule coming up. Seems fruitless to worry about right now.

To say they can or can't do something is silly. They've given you proof of ability and inability. All we can do is wait and see which Chiefs team shows up, and hope that the GOOD Chiefs show up in the playoffs.

True enough.

We won the first quarter. The Eagles have won the first half.. who knows who'll be hot and not come January.

All I know is that we're 6-3 after facing one of the tougher schedules thus far in the season and set up QUITE nicely to win this division and get at least one home playoff game, likely against a team like the Titans, Chargers or Ravens. From that point anything can happen.

It's whatever. Get in the playoffs, you never know what happens. Maybe our offense gets hot. Maybe we find a run game again. Maybe our defense finds a style that works for them (similar to 2011 NYG defense)

I don't expect a Superbowl. I don't believe we have those ingredients

But I'll appreciate a division title and a possible Superbowl run. Never know. Nobody has to look great in week 9

You think this defense can stop any playoff team's offense?

I don't give this team any chance if they have to have both road games in PIT and NE.
