They only thing we have to fear, is a lack of cheeseburgers

Miami also has a pretty favorable schedule. We do have the head-to-head tie breaker over both of those teams though.

We can lose this game to the Eagles. Sit the starters for the Bengals game. Take the loss and still win any tie breaker for HFA. Even if the other teams never lose another game.

This is our best chance to have a no doubt to anyone, even media haters, dynasty. They know this. Mahomes/Reid/Kelce are going to bring it home.

Jags still have:

@Houston
@Cleveland
Baltimore

There’s another loss in there somewhere.

Sit the starters for the week 17 game against the Bengals? You know there's an 18th week, right?

I would circle @Baltimore on 12/31.

Miami has a bunch of late home games then that one. They’ll be spoiled by warm Miami weather.

Next year it's the NFC West so it's probably 99% likely we're going to San Fran.

I've got my fingers crossed that Seattle can win their division so I can attend the game.

Anybody's assessment of the Bills change, in light of the offensive explosion against the Jets?

I don't think so, personally. The Jets defense was defeated by the second half, because Zach Wilson could never keep them off the field.

A couple of the plays Buffalo converted would be uncharacteristic of the Chiefs defense to give up.

Allen is still not running the ball a ton, and their run game continues to be miserable.

The Jets had a players only meeting last week. That tells you everything you need to know about how close that team is to imploding with Wilson STILL at QB.

Nah, the Bills defense is pretty much washed and broken at this point if they play an actual offense.

Not really. They tend to blow out bad teams.

They already have 5 losses so they aren’t much of a threat to take the 1 seed. With those injuries on defense, I have a hard time seeing them making much of a postseason run with Allen’s turnover history. Especially, if they end up as a wildcard and have to go to 3 Division Champs in the postseason.

[Direckshun]

Chiefs would have the 1 seed today

7 Steelers visit the 2 Ravens
6 Texans visit the 3 Jags
5 Browns visit the 4 Dolphins

I bet you at least one of those three teams get upset in that scenario; two of them are playing division rivals.

[Direckshun]

It's pretty unbelievable the Browns are 7-3.

My assessment of the Bills has remained pretty consistent.

They don’t necessarily scare me but if Josh Allen just happens to have an A+ game, they’re the biggest threat to us in a single elimination playoff game with the Bengals out of contention.

I hope not but what I do know is that they scored me a bunch of fantasy points last night. Sure, they were playing against Zach Wilson and Garret Wilson looked like garbage because he's still not healthy. But man, they looked reenergized. I still don't think it will help them at Arrowhead, though.
