I don't know about you guys, but I loved this thing last year. It's similar to cdcox's old forecasting software and is lots of fun for seeing how our chances at the playoffs shift in various scenarios.

Oakland has had shit-ton of help from the refs...they arent that great of a team. If KC was promising the owners $200 million in free tax payer money...they would be getting games steered for them too. That DAT call would have been a TD...I'm 100% certain.

The NFL is hell-bent on a Oakland/Patriot AFCC...Indy, even with Luck, is going to be battling the refs.

Would probably get destroyed in NE but beating Oakland 3 times would be worth it.

Could very well happen...

Pittsburgh or NE would probably hand us our asses even at Arrowhead but the Raiders would get another beat down.

KChiefs1 · 12-25-2016, 11:55 AM

I've run the scenarios I believe will happen & here's how I think it ends up:

1. New England Patriots
2. Kansas City Chiefs
3. Pittsburgh Steelers
4. Houston Texans
5. Oakland Raiders
6. Miami Dolphins

Bye: Pats & Chiefs

WC:
Miami @ Pittsburgh
Oakland @ Houston

As the winning streak on the road against Oakland, Denver, and Atlanta showed we can play with the best of them in their house.

As the losses to Tampa and Tennessee showed we can lose at home against mediocre teams.

I think showing that we can beat good teams with hot offenses or defenses provides everything we need to know about what the Chiefs can do. I still believe that Andy Reid is the biggest problem with the team realizing the championship right now, with Alex being a very close second.

My hope is that Andy opens the offense up in the playoffs as he has done in the past. I think he will.

Here's what the AFC looks like after this week:

1. Patriots (81%) or Raiders (19%)
2. Raiders (53%) or Chiefs (28%) or Patriots (19%)
3. Steelers (100%)
4. Texans (100%)
5. Chiefs (49%) or Dolphins (23%) or Raiders (28%)
6. Dolphins (77%) or Chiefs (23%)

So basically, the scenarios are (in order of likelihood in my opinion from most to least):
1. Chiefs beat the Chargers and Raiders beat the Broncos - we get the 5 seed and travel to Houston.
2. Chiefs beat the Chargers and Broncos beat the Raiders - we get the 2 seed and have a bye.
3. Chiefs lose to the Chargers and the Dolphins lose to the Patriots - we get the 5 seed and travel to Houston.
4. Chiefs lose to the Chargers and Dolphins beat the Patriots - we get the 6 seed and travel to Pittsburgh.

Looking at the scenarios, I'm trying to figure the most beneficial for the chiefs.

I don't really see a situation where they can avoid having to play both pitt and NE.

As the 2 seed, they likely get pitt in kc in the 2nd round and as the 5 seed, if they can beat houston, would go to new england and then to pitt.

New england is sitting pretty as the 1 seed in that they will likely only have to play one of kc or pitt and at home.

Pitt is not that great on the road.

Best chance is for Mia to beat NE and give Oak the #1 seed (assuming Denver lays down). Then Pitt and NE will play in the AFCDG. Miami will be gunning for the #5 seed as they wanna travel to Houston.

Root for a bye and getting pit at home instead of at pit.
