Agreed, if you and I were racing down the street - totally get it. A 17 week NFL season is not a real race.
So, you want to say that Denver has this early advantage... ok, fine.
2018: 3 out final 4 in KC
2017: 3 out final 4 in KC
2016: 3 out final 4 in KC
2015: 3 out final 4 in KC
2014: 2 out final 4 in KC
For the last 4 seasons, KC has enjoyed 75% of their final 4 games in Arrowhead. Cold, chilly, ugly Arrowhead in December.
12 of the 16 end of season games for the last 4 years have been there - not on the road. Are you telling me that this in no way helps KC and is better for KC than starting off with the reverse schedule?
I would absolutely love knowing that this year and for each of the last 3 years, Denver plays 75% of their final 4 games - a full quarter of the season at home when it's cold.
If you want to talk 5k's and 100 yard dashes, have it ... a 17 week NFL season is not a 'race'.
