[@PicklePete69]

@brielturija I don't mind discounting them. Miami couldn't do anything in the cold. The bills defense was so weak they couldn't stop anything. The ravens choked the hardest they did all year. The 9ers had a punt hit an ankle that changed the momentum. Yes the chiefs played good, but they had major luck in their favor for all 4 games

[@HorribleTruthsAubook]

It maybe hard but I go off present strengths and it’s tough schedule of days but the teams aren’t really a threat to the chiefs in my opinion cause Baltimore has lost a lot of pieces and bengals 😂 if Joe is healthy and the only other teams I see an issue with in the first 9 weeks is 49ers, and or chargers if they get on track right. But I think the chiefs got it in my opinion from a Pittsburgh fan who feels cheated as well with our schedule.
