The Chiefs are in solid shape for the playoffs.
Looks like they will be able to handle the AFCW so long at Oakland does not turn it on, KC however can put a strangle hold if they beat Oakland in a few weeks, going 2-0 against Oakland.
Although Houston is in second place in the AFCS, it has an opportunity to beat Balt to get the three way tiebreaker. Also, Houston only has one conference loss and others have at least two. Colts might win the division to take Houston out of the equation.
As the OP says, the other teams have a tougher road for the second half of the season. so that helps.
Pats are 8-0 but they were 10-0 in 2015 and finished 2-4 in last 6 games to end up 12-4. Be interesting to see where the Pats end up. Pats need to get healthy.
