This just isn't the same Chiefs teams like the last few years. If the playoffs started today your most likely path would be hosting the Bills, @Miami and @Baltimore. Things could fall your way and you could host the Browns for the AFCCG but that's not an automatic W either. And none of that takes into account if the Steelers D makes it in or Stroud's Texans.

Like I said, I think most are in the "so you're saying there's a chance" state of mind. The big games of the year to look back on, plus Mahomes, plus the defense gives me confidence they'll be in any game they play (looking forward to the playoffs, I really don't give a shit about not showing up in Denver or whatever the **** happened a couple weekends ago).
Like you said, they are who they are, and that's not a solid 1 seed SB contender this year... they're "playoff contender," which I consider a divisonal round appearance to be about the expected outcome. I'd be surprised if they aren't a tough out though, no matter who they play.
