only two noon games this season sucks. Several primetime games that have no business being there. Packers on SNF why? Rodgers was gone when they made the schedule. Patriots on MNF? did anyone think this was going to be a game anyone wants to watch?
Noon games are the best, wish they'd put some more of the obvious stinkers there.
Chiefs are on SNF against the packers this week, and MNF against the patriots in a few weeks, and besides the games being in Lambeau and Foxboro, I can't figure out who at the schedule makers thought either of those was a primetime worthy matchup this year.
Obviously a homer view, but if the Chiefs cut out the turnovers, and feed more targets to the guys on the team that can catch instead of spreading it around to 11 guys, no one's going to have a chance against them until the SB.
I didn't mention cutting out penalties, cause I wanted to be realistic, and I just don't see a world where Smith/Taylor don't have 2-3 penalties a game minimum between them.
They have to be one of the healthiest teams in the league at this point, with no impact players out for the season, and several important guys coming back before the playoffs.
I hate the Broncos, but their writeup guy is my favorite every week.
I'm disappointed we beat the Raiders and there's nothing written in ours even.
do you have a link or can post the chart for Elo at the end of 2022 season/SB?
How the hell was Cowboys/Eagles not the week 18 divisional matchup?
Only time the Chiefs got the #1 draft pick was probably one of the worst draft years this century.
Lions v. Steelers
Lions is obvious
Steelers basically cause it makes no sense and also I won't have to see people all offseason asking if their QB has surpassed Mahomes. (Browns would be nice for their fans, but fuck their owner and Deshaun).
I know this said "realistic" in the title, but the Steelers are the #1 wild card, and they got rid of Canada...so yea.
The ones with only 3 losses don't have much of a sample size for this chart so one bad game will skew it. Mahomes almost certainly all comes from the Broncos game, which was his worst EPA ever in a start.
Meh, not every team blows everyone out, sometimes you just like to coast or scrape by in 10-11 wins a year, let bad teams close a 20 point least to 7 in the 2nd half always.
Chiefs have 2-3 teams with less wins finish 40-80 points above them in differential every year, and it seems to work out fine.
Chargers have lost 2, won 2, lost 2, won 2, lost 2.
Being how dumb most of their seasons go, I am predicting they somehow come back and win this game to continue the pattern.
Chiefs are gonna go 3 and out, Packers score again make it 10-0. Final score 38-13 Chiefs.
