There used to be a committee that decided home and away based upon the opponents prior to the start of the season. Many years ago, I recall some talk about Shula being on the committee and KC always played Miami in Miami.
Would I call it a conspiracy? Not necessarily, but it is odd that KC seems to get the harder opponents on the road, as opposed to Denver. |

You can see that in 2022... all but 2 games are known, home and away. Now, in 2021... there will be those complaining about that home and away schedule and screaming foul, but it was known 4 years earlier.
Chiefs 2022 Schedule
vs. Denver Broncos
at Denver Broncos
vs. Oakland Raiders
at Oakland Raiders
vs. Los Angeles Chargers
at Los Angeles Chargers
vs. Indianapolis Colts
vs. Houston Texans
at Jacksonville Jaguars
at Tennessee Titans
at Arizona Cardinals
vs. Los Angeles Rams
vs. Seattle Seahawks
at San Francisco 49ers
AFC North
AFC East
So, the 2018 home and way schedule was known years ago... aside from 2 teams and the actual 'date of the games'. Opponents are known years prior now.
