Declare them dead if you like. I've seen them pull too many rabbits out of too many hats in the BB/Brady era to have no hope.
But if you forced me to bet a meaningful amount of money, I'd likely bet on the Chiefs to win.

Obviously things don't always break like you expect but having to go back a decade to find examples...going on the road to a place they have generally shit the bed at against a MVP QB, is not a favorable thing to do.
