Indy beat them and us so they would get the 2 seed in that scenario.

#2 seed? I'm just hoping to make the playoffs.

If this team is healthy, I don’t mind going to any opposing stadium.

I am not scared of ****ing Jacoby Brissett

Yeah if we run that same offense with a healthy Mahomes and a more aggressive D.....we aren't losing many.

Chiefs didn't have Watkins or Hill against Texans/Colts...Texans just lost Watt for the season..

Ravens have a brutal final 8.....NE, HOU, LAR, SF, BUF.

Colts barely beat Flacco at the buzzer...

Chiefs should/could be 11-5 possibly 12-4.

This is why playing these NFC games without Mahomes made for perfect timing.

Least possible impact on standings.

Yes non conference losses are the least impactful of all losses.

Posted this in another thread, but it’s more appropriate here:

I think 12-4 is very possible if we win this week.

Vikings-Possible tough game.
@ Titans-Absolutely nothing special
@ LAC (Mexico)-Again, they’re nothing special
Bye
Raiders-They suck and we’re coming off a bye week
@Patriots-Toughest game remaining on the schedule by far
Broncos-Basically a bye. Rest anyone who’s dinged up.
@Bears-Good defense, but atrocious offense. Very winnable.
Chargers-Chargers may not be playing for anything by this point.

I would almost be shocked if 12-4 didn’t get us the 2 seed. The Ravens probably have 2 more losses in them somewhere. Patriots, Rams, 49ers, Bills. Brutal second half for them.

Colts probably lose at Houston and at New Orleans. I would bet they drop at least one more. They really don’t look like a 12 win team to me.

Houston has 3 losses already. They probably lose at the Ravens and to the Patriots.

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.

I can see 12-4 in the mix, and if so, you do have a great shot at the #2 seed. Hou has to play Indy one more time so at least one more loss btw the two of them as with hou/balt game.

Given the tough schedule of Hou/Indy/Balt might be tough to see two of them going 12-4, maybe just one of them. Just depends on which one, if at all and the tiebreaker.

I think the Minn game this weekend will be key. Hate to get a 4th loss so soon in the schedule.

Pats game is kind of a wild card atm, both teams are injured and although Pats are 8-0 be nice to see how they do against stronger opponents to see where the Pats stand this year.

Yep, a lot can change. No Hilton, No Watt....this time last week, they were fine.

Kind of amazing that Hill, Watkins and Mahomes have only played one quarter together this season...
