The Chiefs’ playoff aspirations are alive and well. Making the postseason is still approximately a 50-50 proposition and there are still 12 games left to play. The Chiefs are also approaching a softer spot in their schedule. Following Sunday’s game in Oakland, they have New Orleans at home, the 2-3 Colts in Indianapolis, and the AFC South’s bottom-dwelling Jaguars (at Arrowhead). The season is far from over, but the Chiefs need to show signs of life on Sunday if they expect to mount a successful playoff campaign.

A win on Sunday puts them in the thick of the AFC race and helps give them some much-needed confidence with a trio of beatable opponents ahead of them. A loss still wouldn’t snuff out their postseason aspirations, but it would narrow their margin for error significantly.

Which Chiefs team do you expect to show up in Oakland on Sunday, the one that dominated the New York Jets with opportunistic defense and a functional offense, or the lethargic bunch that’s slogged its way through three other games in 2016? Can the Chiefs slow that high-powered Raiders offense down or should Alex Smith and company be prepared for a good, old-fashioned shootout? Use the comment section below to weigh in. As always, we appreciate your readership and support.

Until next time, Addicts!
