SCHEDULE ASSESSMENT
The games can be grouped into 4 groups of 4 and a group of 1. Obviously there are surprises as the season goes on and games that seem pud become bigger and vice versa, but this is the pre-seas eval. I'll give a pod-record prediction, but not game by game. I know this is not the traditional pod system but it's what I created.
These are MAY breakdowns. So much can change. We don't know Rice's suspension yet. We don't know what other offseason nonsense is going to mess with us. But here we go anyway
Pod 1: BAD BLOODvs. Baltimore
vs. Cincy
@ San Fran
@ Buffalo
All teams we've beaten in the last 2 postseasons. Each of these games will be the biggest game of the week in the NFL when they are played. I think it sucks to play Cincy week 2, I'd rather have it be a December matchup, but whatever. These teams will be gunning for us guys. These will be tough games, but remember, the regular seas isn't where we shine brightest.
Predicted record: 2-2POD 2: Look What you Made Me Do@ Atlanta
@ LA Chargers
@ Cleveland
@ Pittsburgh
All roadies. All against teams with playoff hopes. Each of these games are bigger games for the other team than for the Chiefs, but these are the type of games we feast on. These are games where we remind the league who's league it is.
Predicted Record: 4-0POD 3: I Knew you were TroubleNew Orleans
Tampa
LA
Houston
Home games against teams that might be decent? Who knows. Guys, we're dropping at least one of these in a way that is gonna be a head scratch. It always happens, and we'll be fine. One of these will be an ass-kicking like the Chicago game last year. 2 will be fine wins (think LA and Cincy last year) and one is that complete dud.
Predicted Record: 3-1POD 4: Anti-Hero@ LV
Denver
LV
@ Denver
We really went 2-2 against these nerds last year I know. These games are the absolute Super Bowl for these teams and aren't even rivalries for us anymore. I think Denver gets one on us and we sweep LV.
Predicted Record: 3-1POD 5: Wildest Dreams@ Carolina
They suck. We'll roll. Frankly they are barely an NFL squad.
Predicted Record: 1-0So that's looking like a 13-4 record on the season. Another division championship, either the 1 or 2 seed. Wake my ass up in January.
But what do YOU think? YOU be the coach!
