Sometimes, you can only laugh at predictions of our Kansas City Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the best teams in the National Football League. Hell, even fans of the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos would agree (we tried to survey San Diego Chargers fans, but could not find one).

However, USA Today is coming after that notion in a major way. For The Win previewed the season by picking every regular-season game and the scores. Incredibly, Kansas City is picked to finish 7-9 and end up in last place of the AFC West.

If this happens (barring massive injuries), I will eat this keyboard. FTW picks the Chiefs to start the season 4-8 with losses at home to the San Diego Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Overall, the Broncos, Chargers and Raiders are all picked to make the postseason.


Incredibly, the Cincinnati Bengals are also expected to go 7-9 along with the Chiefs. The Houston Texans upgraded a t quarterback and running back, yet are expected to get two games worse while the Indianapolis Colts, who have Andrew Luck and 21 mannequins, are picked to win the AFC South.

The best part of this prediction? San Diego is actually picked to win a playoff game. The Chargers, who have no offensive line and a running back who has scored as many touchdowns as I have, are rolling through the AFC this season. Color me shocked to the point my left arm is going numb.

What do you have to say, Addicts?
