Chiefs’ midseason report card
Projected record through Week 10: 7-2
Kansas City’s actual record: 5-4
Games correct: 5 of 9
I was right about … the Chiefs losing their fifth straight regular-season game to the Bills.
I was wrong about … Week 4 vs. the Ravens. In hindsight, probably a bit overzealous of me to underestimate the reigning AFC champs at home. Even if Lamar Jackson hadn’t exited early with a hamstring injury, the Chiefs were the superior team that Sunday afternoon, outclassing a Baltimore squad that wasn’t quite right out of the gate.
Second-half double down
Despite entering Week 11 three wins shy of the Broncos’ total and sitting third in the division, Kansas City stacks enough victories down the stretch — including both tilts with Denver — to capture its 10th consecutive AFC West title.
Final projection
Record: 13-4 (previous projection: 12-5)
Division finish: 1st (previous: same)
Will the Chiefs make the playoffs? Yes, as the No. 1 seed.
Chiefs vs Broncos: Betting Trend for Week 11 | The Mothership
The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a bye going into their Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
Historically, this is a good thing for Andy Reid-coached teams.
Reid is 22-4 coming off a bye as head coach, which is the best record of any coach in NFL history. He was 13-1 after a bye with the Eagles and is 9-3 with the Chiefs.
The Kansas City coach is only 1-2 in games when both teams are coming off a bye, but when his team is coming off a bye and the other team played the week before, Reid is 21-2.
That will be the case this week, as Denver played at Las Vegas on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.
As of Monday’s NFL odds at BetMGM, the Chiefs are a 3.5-point favorite.
Giants’ head coach search might end with the Super Bowl legend they already know | Arrowhead Addict
NFL reporter Ian Rapoport recently spoke about the Giants’ head coaching opening and called it “one of the more coveted head coach openings in the NFL.” That’s due to the presence of young talent already on the roster, including quarterback Jaxson Dart. For Spagnuolo’s sake, it wouldn’t hurt to have such a fearsome front line anchored by Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence, and Abdul Carter.
“[The Giants] now have, I would say, one of the more coveted head coach openings in the NFL. By the way, general manager Joe Schoen will not only stay on as GM, but run the search,” explained Rapoport in a recent update.
“Among the names I would keep an eye on as the Giants, let’s...
