We will likely have Omenihu, Pacheco and Hollywood all active against Houston and Pittsburgh.

I like our chances at HFA.

Here is the scenario……..

If the Bills and Steelers lose their games this weekend

and we win the Browns and the Texans games we get HFA.

We should rest the starters for the Pitt game and play the starters for 1/2 a game in Denver.

If Pitt or Bills win this weekend we need 3 total wins by us and or losses by Pitt/Bills to clinch HFA.

*Taylor/Humphries are going to have their work cut out for them leading up to the postseason.

Mack/Bosa/Fox/Dupree
Myles
Anderson/Hunter
Watt

Let’s hope they are up to the task. If they are, the team will be the 1 seed.

Chiefs will put the pedal to the metal the next two weeks to get this done.

PITT and DEN won't matter.

Chiefs already showed us who they are.

Got a feeling Andy might treat BOTH games like preseason if it comes down to it. He's just not gonna risk Mahomes against these pass rushers.

We lost Hollywood on one damn play. Andy remembers and won’t risk much the last two games if they’re meaningless.

After all the worries about this stretch of games and scheduling, it would be extra funny if the NFL ended up with one team playing backups on Christmas.

Assuming the Bills lose one game. We have to win out to get the bye since we want to rest the starters for week 18 and take that loss.

It would be great if we could get Wentz some decent playing time before the playoffs. Henne was able to step in and play when needed in the 2020 & 2022 playoffs which was vital to us getting to both of those Super Bowls. Hopefully we don’t need him, but it would be nice if he wasn’t rusty if we did have to bring him in.

I'm looking for Carson Wentz to have a strong game in Week 18.

We need to cheer on Detroit and Philadelphia this weekend. If they win, our path to HFA will be much easier... beat the Browns and Texans then let starters rest and get healthy in weeks 17 & 18 and that bye week.

I didn't realize the Bills last 3 games were Patriots x2 and the Jets. That is some generous scheduling, even if you expected the Jets to be decent. Either way, the Chiefs have to maintain control, and I believe they will, because you can't count on anyone other than the Lions beating the Bills.
