Time to call your shot - predict the Chiefs' 2015 record for the season

[DaFace]

We've seen about as much as we're gonna see of the team before the games count. I always think it's fun to lock in your predictions before the season. Assuming we can find this thread again in a few months, it will inevitably be bumped to either laugh at or cry about.

Here's the schedule:

Sun, Sep 13 @ Texans 11:00 AM
Thu, Sep 17 vs Broncos 6:25 PM
Mon, Sep 28 @ Packers 6:30 PM
Sun, Oct 4 @ Bengals 11:00 AM
Sun, Oct 11 vs Bears 11:00 AM
Sun, Oct 18 @ Vikings 11:00 AM
Sun, Oct 25 vs Steelers 11:00 AM
Sun, Nov 1 vs Lions 7:30 AM
(bye)
Sun, Nov 15 @ Broncos 2:25 PM
Sun, Nov 22 @ Chargers 6:30 PM
Sun, Nov 29 vs Bills 11:00 AM
Sun, Dec 6 @ Raiders 2:05 PM
Sun, Dec 13 vs Chargers 11:00 AM
Sun, Dec 20 @ Ravens 11:00 AM
Sun, Dec 27 vs Browns 11:00 AM
Sun, Jan 3 vs Raiders 11:00 AM

(Yeah, I'm in a thread-starting mood. Bite me.)

Denver's defense looks great this year, but Peyton has looked very mediocre both this week and last. (His stat line from tonight in two quarters: 14/21 124 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT.)

I wouldn't bet my house on it, but they're vulnerable in that game.

9-7. This is the step up year. If they do it will be higher.

[crazycoffey]

12-4 plus two playoff wins!!!!

8 or 9 wins is the most likely outcome, mathematically.

I'm a homer. That's why I am going with 9 and the 'over'.

The fact you don't recognize those simple facts puts you at megahomer....

I'm not saying 10-6 or 11-5 is impossible, but 8-8 is mathematically much more likely than either of those results...so your 'smack talk' is based on hot air.

These guys who set the odds have their livelihood at stake. You merely have love at stake.

To acknowledge that the Chiefs have built a completely solid roster from 1-53, doesn't make me a homer. As far as what the Vegas goons say, that doesn't bother me either.

I do find it funny how you have confused homer with Debbie downer. Oh, and let's get this out now. I called 11-5 a month ago and your boo Clay laughed at me.

KC's problem is facing Denver and GB back to back weeks in prime time (which KC isnt all that prosperous in lately) against two QBs that can run up the score on most any team in a ****ing hurry.

If the Chiefs are on the bad end of a 10+ margin, they're not coming back most likely...

So what's your prediction? 6-10?

They will have 11 days to prepare for the packers who have an absolute shit defense.

The Broncos have to come to arrowhead on 3 days rest. The odds are heavily in the Chiefs favor.

Our Defense is gonna keep us in every game.

10-6

The broncos are looking more likely to have to lean on the run game. I don't think that offense will be as explosive as past performances.

Sure, and last year we had them at home on a Sunday night after a 10 day rest with a fading Peyton and a division lead on the line and we still pissed down our legs from the opening kickoff.

Cancer does that to people.

And unfortunately, much, much worse.

11-5 is a lot more than solid

We're not going 11-5, although I can truly say I hope I am wrong.

People who study the situation and make their living from it say 8-8 or9-7 is the most likely....

Followed by 10-6 & 7-9


So what you don't seem to realize is 7-9 is actually mathematically more likely than 11-5.....

Also what you don't seem to realize is a solid team can still finish 8-8 in the nfl

I'm not trying to be Debbie downer but your logic is faulty....simply think about it...2014 chiefs were better than the 2013 chiefs right? Well the 2014 chiefs won TWO less games.....and missed the playoffs! Yet both of us agree they were a better club.

[O.city]

Vegas sets the over under at a number they think will get the most action. It doesn't necessarily mean said "number" is their prediction. They're trying to get equality on both sides so they'll make money

No. They weren't a better club. They replaced Albert with fisher. They replaced Brandon Flowers with garbage. They replaced Geoff Scwartz with Fulton and aso, who wasn't great but he was much better than mcglynn/ linkenbach. Then as I mentioned a couple days ago the biggest difference in this team from this year and from 2013 is depth.

Last year losing DJ, devito and berry crippled this team. This year they don't have that problem. There is not a single player that could go down right now and cause me to panic. Not even Jamaal.
