Hot take.
One of KC or Cin misses the playoffs. Maybe both

KC will miss Hill, but I still expect them to be a force. Hardman, MVS and Juju are considerable weapons. They will have to change the way they play, but they likely would have even had they kept Hill.
We've got to get a good win over Buffalo this year, and probably another 3 wins in the division. Even though the Bills have improved, I think we have closed the gap enough to have some confidence.

I certainly wouldn’t put money on it (not as long as Mahomes is QB), but it wouldn’t shock me if KC is battling for a wild card.
If you visit their forum. they’re all basically expecting a mini-rebuild year.

It literally was.
Had Buffalo won the OT coin toss, they’re in the AFCCG instead of KC. It’s literally that simple.
A buddy and I were talking the other day about the Pats. I really feel like they haven't done a single constructive thing this off-season. They blew the draft terribly. No help for Jones. I really think they are worse than the Jets on paper.

N.E is slick team that find way to win during regular season. There not SB team anymore but they can steal wildcatd spot. Caution "
They will miss hill but good team find way move on. K.c could keep hill..they choose move on...every good football team make tough decisions.when u paying qb almost 50 millions yr...

They won the SB when he was on his rookie contract. And yes, they did reach the SB the year he signed his record setting contract, but the TB defense dominated KC in that SB. Last year, they didn't make the SB. This year, I predict they don't even make it to the AFCCG.

Cincy could very easily fall off. They overachieved last year.

..and Baltimore underachieved (injuries). I suspect Ravens win that division.
Agree 100% they had alot of balls "Bounce their way" last year.
They also strike me as pretty arrogant. I think they are drinking their own kool-aid a bit too much.
Plus look at how previous superbowl losers have performed over the last decade and everything points to them falling off.

They could. They have a stud QB and a stud WR though. They've got a solid D. Their O Line still needs work.
Ok get this...
I live in KC and my brother said this to me today. "I think the NFL wants the Chiefs to miss the playoffs this year because they have the hardest strength of schedule in the history of the NFL."
I laughed at him at first until I realized he wasn't kidding. According to the metrics it is the hardest schedule in NFL history. Look at this
Cardinals
Chargers
Colts
Bucs
Raiders
Bills
49ers
Titans
Jags
Chargers
Rams
Bengals
Broncos
Texans
Seahawks
Broncos
Raiders
Sure there are a cpl easy ones with the Texans and the Jags but damn! Chiefs could easily miss the playoffs.

I don't know when all of these games are played, but just based on the teams the chiefs are playing, it's apparent that your brother doesn't understand how the NFL works in regards to what teams play which teams.
I put them in order weeks 1-18, that's the schedule.
I guess he heard the Sports Radio station talking about it being the hardest SOS is NFL history.
