KC got all three on the road where the Donkos got them at home.
Chiefs road opponents averaged 10.1 wins vs. 8 for Denver.
In 2018, the top 2 shared opponents from 2017 are:
Steelers 13-3
Rams 11-5
KC gets both on the road, the Donko get them at home...again
NFL schedule makers consider Mexico an away game.
Chiefs also have to play NE, on the road, two years in a row....which seems a bit odd.
NFL schedule makers only have the previous season to go from...so while not only giving the Donks an advantage by scheduling a disproportionate amount of early home games, they also play every top opponent at home.

Home and away is set years in advance, no?
