Beat Pitt,, send them to the #6 seed and a WC matchup at Baltimore

Super long. But i just can't seem to shake this feeling...

Maybe it's just gas.

Weirder shit has happened... ****ing Herm Edwards backed into the playoffs one year, needing like 3 things to happen (including the Broncos losing).

And the NFL may have gifted the Bengals a game against the Steelers' backups, so you have that going for you.

Yessir. There's no reason for the Chiefs to fear facing anyone. "gives us trouble", yeah well...that's the NFL. If i could make it so the Bengals have to go to Buffalo, go to KC and then go to Baltimore, i'd do it in a second, regardless of a wing and a prayer or already clinched.

Yup. After last season’s playoff run I am not sure why KC would fear playing anyone. If anything I can see every other team fearing the thought of facing KC.

Yeah I was specifically talking about the players. Chase refusing to say Mahomes name as the #1 player and rooting for “anyone but the Chiefs” makes it pretty easy to see who they hate the most. Circling a week 2 game and letting it essentially cost you a playoff spot because you forgot to game plan for the worst team in the league is the price they payed for it too.

I know I’ll definitely be rooting for the Bengals to get in over the ****ing Donkeys so I understand the division rivalry thing for sure. It’s why all the betas hoping we lose this weekend to not give the Bungles a chance make me sick. You never turn down the opportunity to end your division rivals season.

If Miami beats the NYJ then what KC does is irrelevant. Might as well knock Denver out of the playoffs as well.

Self-inflicted, Burrow is a sack merchant. Allen is almost as good as Mahomes (who is historically great at it) at avoiding sacks.

Ahh, had not looked far enough into that... yeah, losing in that case could really suck for them.

Yeah, I wouldn't say 'fear', but there's also some history of not playing the best seed available every round, for example...

2021 - Chiefs couldn't beat both the Bills and Bengals
2022 - Bengals couldn't beat both the Bills and Chiefs
And last season, the Ravens obviously weren't prepared, but maybe they've learned a bit.

And not so much "couldn't", but just the fact those games are 50/50 toss-ups, teams that see each other on average more than once per season.

Mahomes' margin of victory is 11 when not playing Brady, Allen, or Burrow in the playoffs... and it's 2.8 when playing those guys (granted, I left out the Bucs SB as to not skew the small sample size, or else it's like 0.7).

I'd say there's a pretty huge difference between playing a team like the Texans or Chargers in the Divisional Round and playing a big rival like the Bengals and of course a QB like Burrow.

Of course, that would also mean the Bills are eliminated in the WC round, which would be both hilarious and helpful.

If the Ravens win doesn't Pitt winning become irrelevant to them?

No. If they lose and the Chargers win, the Chargers jump them for the #5 seed. Then it becomes Chargers @ Texans and Steelers @ Ravens.

I crunched the numbers and found that i am a fan of the 2nd KC winning outcome.

The good news: Blaine Gabbert won in week 18 last year with the 3rd/4th string, and Wentz is better than Gabbert.

The bad news: Easton Stick won't be suiting up for Denver.
