Marleydawg 60 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 ...the Chiefs get the #1 seed if they beat the Raiders at home in week 17. (Even if they tied the Texans at 12-4, they'll have the better conference record). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,210 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 You're exactly right and that brings up the question, "How important is the SEA game?" Winning tomorrow does insure that the Chiefs can't be seeded after the Pats, but winning in Arrowhead next week fixes everything and I don't see how the Chiefs lose that one. My prediction for the final seedings is: 1. KC 2. HOU 3. NE 4. BAL 5. LAC 6. IND It's possible that PIT could win in NO, but the odds against them are big. HOU has a tough game in PHL but I think they may win that one. The rest of the contenders should win out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That defense is playing really well again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what I got: AFC KC (13-3) NE (11-5) Houston (11-5) Balt (11-5) LAC (12-4) Indy (10-6) NFC NO (14-2) LAR (13-3) Chi (12-4) Dallas (10-6) Seattle (9-7) Philly (9-7) Houston loses at Philly. Pitt loses at NO. Balt beats Cle in week 17 to sew up the North. If KC loses out and LAC lose to Denver, Houston loses one, and NE wins out, they are the one. Puke.

soonerborn77 276 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I think because of this we rest a few more guys and also don’t overextend Berry. Watkins already out, can see Ware and even Fuller sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins already out, can see Ware and even Fuller sitting. Do you sit a guy like Fuller tonight now. Maybe a lesser roll for banged up Tyreek? Ware isn’t playing. Upside is we can win anyway and if downside is having meaningful game at Arrowhead I’m okay with that even if it means we could lose. I don’t like idea of three full weeks between meaningful games. And if we can’t beat Oakland in that spot we deal our own fate. Tonight’s game just isn’t nearly as important now. That said I’m not suggesting they don’t go all out with available or healthy guys trying to win it! I just think these 50-50 health wise guys can now be handled differently.

sith13 1,746 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 What's the risk in losing against the Raiders if we beat the Seahawks? The division and conference records would be the same (assuming Chargers win), what's the next tie-breaker in line that could go against us?

beltranfan 4 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 If we beat the seahawks the #1 seed would be wrapped up. Can play 3rd stringers against Oakland. Give all the vets 3 weeks off to get healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give all the vets 3 weeks off to get healthy If we beat the Seahawks but lose to the Raiders while Houston wins out, then the conference record tiebreaker, where we currently lead Houston, would be tied and it would go to strength of victory. Houston is currently leading in that category (ESPN standings, if you click "playoffs," will show strength of victory and strength of schedule); I don't know if that could flip or not with results over these final two weeks. Best case scenario, IMO, is that Houston loses today (leading 16-13 at PHI as I type this) and we take care of business tonight. I know some people are scared of having a bye and the team being "rusty" for historical reasons; they do not want a meaningless game + the bye. But I think getting Berry, LDT, Ware, Watkins, etc. as healthy as possible is far more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamixoye 604 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 It is really weird that the Chargers game means tonight's game is semi-meaningless; we can't accomplish anything tonight that we couldn't accomplish next week, other than securing things earlier (and, depending on the Houston results, only SOME things).

Legend of AC 269 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Everything is falling into place for the Chiefs. If we lose our next 2 games we shouldn’t be the 1 seed and deserve to be a wild card. Beat the Seahawks tonight and it’s all finalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
