IT’S OUT NOW! NOBODY EXPECTED IT! REVENGE OR DOMINATION OF THE CHIEFS?

The highly anticipated showdown has arrived, and fans are buzzing with excitement! In a clash that has been building tension for weeks, the question on everyone’s mind is whether this will be a tale of revenge or a display of domination from the Chiefs.

As the teams take to the field, all eyes are on the Chiefs, who have something to prove after a surprising setback last season. Will they come back with a vengeance, eager to reclaim their spot at the top, or will they demonstrate their prowess with a commanding performance?

With star players ready to shine and intense rivalries fueling the fire, this matchup promises to be unforgettable. Fans are eager to see if the Chiefs can turn the tide or if they will be outmatched once again.

question: when you look at the remaining games on the schedule—who can beat the Chiefs?

Although a couple of games look tough, all of them look like possible wins to me.

What I’m saying is 16-0 is possible. Sure, it’s not likely. That’s only happened once in NFL history, but if the entire offense remains healthy and the defense can somehow continue to improve as they did against the Jaguars, anything is possible!

Yeah, I know. This is the NFL. Every team has talented players and they’re getting paid to win, too. But if they beat the Patriots, and the hardest part of their schedule is behind them, I think the Chiefs have a shot to go undefeated.
Let’s take a closer look at each of the remaining opponents on their schedule and see if a 16-0 record is possible or a crazy fantasy.

New England Patriots (current record: 3-2)
If I had to pick one game on the schedule where the Chiefs are most likely to lose, I would pick this one for a couple of reasons. Head coach Bill Belichick has had three extra days to prepare for the Chiefs. His players get extra days to recover from the last game. And the game is in Foxboro. There is also the revenge factor lingering from their embarrassing loss to the Chiefs last year.
On the other hand, because the Chiefs have proven they can win a road game against the Patriots, and this game seems winnable. With Mahomes, the Chiefs now have a chance to beat Tom Brady in a shootout.

Note: if they do lose, the Chiefs would still be in a good position to finish with a better record than the Patriots. The Chiefs could lose this game and still end up with home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

The Chiefs can win this game.

Cincinnati Bengals (current record: 4-1)
This looked like an easy win before the season started. Now we know the Bengals are no pushover as they sit atop their division.

However, this is a home game for the Chiefs. The Bengals rank 25th in total defense right now, and offensively, Andy Dalton is having a decent season, but his ability to keep up with Mahomes is questionable. The Chiefs should win this one.

Denver Broncos (current record: 2-3)
A few weeks ago, the second game against the Broncos looked tough. Now, it looks like an easy win. Case Keenum has been awful, and the Chiefs have proven they can overpower the Broncos defense when it comes to crunch time.

Cleveland Browns (current record: 2-2-1)
Everyone already penciled a W next to this game last spring, but Baker Mayfield and company are making things interesting. The Chiefs should win this game though, even in Cleveland. The Browns still have a long ways to go to put it all together and contend for the playoffs.

Arizona Cardinals (current record: 1-4)
There is no excuse for the Chiefs to lose this home game—even if Chad Henne plays quarterback.

Los Angeles Rams (current record: 5-0)
Today I jokingly told a Rams fan, “The Chiefs and Rams are going play two games this year and both will be on a neutral field.” All kidding aside, this potential Super Bowl preview looks like the toughest game left on the Chiefs schedule after the Patriots. I’m not sure if playing this game in Mexico City is a plus or minus, but I suppose it’s better than playing in Los Angeles, even though the Rams will likely have a lot of fans at this neutral site anyway because of their close proximity to Mexico.
This is going to be an entertaining game for sure. However, I feel less intimidated by it than I do the Patriots. Personally, I like Andy Reid’s chances against Rams head coach Sean McVay more than I do against Belichick. Plus, the Rams defense has been giving up a lot of points lately.

Oakland Raiders (current record: 1-4)
The Chiefs get to play the hapless Raiders twice. I know the Raiders get paid too and will do their best to beat the Chiefs. Maybe Coach John Gruden will have his team in better shape by December? Even if he does, the Chiefs should win both games.

Baltimore Ravens (current record: 3-2)
The Ravens look like they have reassembled a tough defensive unit to compliment Joe Flacco’s offense. I still like the Chiefs chances at home. Flacco has won the big game before, but can he outshoot Mahomes at this point? He may not need to with that Ravens defense. However, the Chiefs can beat these guys.

Los Angeles Chargers (current record: 3-2)
The Chiefs biggest win so far is arguably that first game in L.A. The Chargers are two games behind the Chiefs now and will have to come to a cold Arrowhead in December to try and beat the Chiefs for the first time since 2013. Philip Rivers is having a nice season, but we all know when it comes time to play the Chiefs, he mysteriously turns into an INT machine. I like the Chiefs on this one.

Seattle Seahawks (current record: 2-3)
This is not going to be an easy road game, despite this Seahawks team now missing most of their past Super Bowl roster. Mahomes has already proven he can handle loud, hostile environments, so Seattle fans won’t rattle him. This game is over two months away, so a lot can change. Right now, it looks like the Chiefs can win this one.

Conclusion

Alright, so we have gone through the remaining schedule for the Chiefs, and 16-0 looks possible but not an easy achievement. Anybody can beat anybody in this league on any given Sunday. Remember in 2011 when the Green Bay Packers went 15-1? They almost had a perfect season, until the 7-9 Chiefs ruined it for them.

But like I said before, anything is poss
