Since we bumble****ed our way into a win over the Broncos, we’ll still be the 1 seed even if the Bills beat us lol
It's probably going to be the most influential regular season AFC game from a playoff seeding standpoint, so it's as much a game for the one seed as any we'll have unless Pittsburgh ruins the table until we play or something crazy along those lines. [Reply]

Agreed.
Ravens-Steelers and Chargers-Bengals this weekend too. Crazy slate for the AFC playoff picture. [Reply]

It’s gonna come down to the final 2 mins as usual
I think we are going to lead the game for about 80% of it.
Bills probably score on the opening drive and then don't lead again after Chiefs score. In control the whole time, but not a blowout. [Reply]

I dont think the Bills will run the table with a pretty tough schedule...I also expect KC to offensively ratchet it up in the final month. It feels like they have been "Rope-a-doping" the league and only showing what they have to. The Denver gameplan was about as uninspired as they could get away with.
Florio says "they play with their food"...and I think there is some truth to that. Sucks as the games seem more clinical/methodical. I'm sure Vegas loves them for the close games though..
Having JuJu, Kelce, Worthy and Hopkins on the field at the same time is the most intriguing part of this weekend. That's a lot of expert route running in the intermediate...should spring Worthy.
i think the bye is far more important. if we win this game we could realistically end up being able to rest/load manage guys starting in week 15/16. [Reply]
Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker popped up on the injury report today with a left knee injury that had him limited at Thursday's practice. Something to watch ahead of a Bills game could come down to one possession.

Sounds like McDermott doesn’t really know what’s going on. He makes it sound like it’s just a pain issue. But today Cooper said he plans to play with a cast. [Reply]

Pretty sure this week the ravens will show that the Steelers are not for real. Same for the Bengals beating the Chargers, but I don’t think the Chargers have the respect that Pittsburgh has somehow earned anyway.
In my view, we have to be worried about three teams. Bengals if they have the trio of Chase, Higgens and Joe. Ravens if Lamar doesn’t choke. They have already figured out how to use Jackson and Henry together, which wasn’t the case our first game against them. And the bills. Normally you could rely on Mahomes beating Allan even when they both bring their a game. But that hasn’t been the case so far with Mahomes this year and how he has not been playing his elite level. Hopefully that will change this Sunday.
If we get home-field advantage with a win on Sunday, that will be so important as it will give us at least one if not, two games to rest people up. [Reply]
