The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a 15-win season that saw the franchise fall short of a three-peat, losing in the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles. How many games will the Chiefs win in 2025? Our Chiefs schedule predictions aim to project how Kansas City will fare this season.
Let’s dive into our game-by-game predictions for the Chiefs schedule this season.
The Chiefs schedule kicks off in Brazil on September 5, with a season-opening neutral-site matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Kansas City swept Los Angeles in their two meetings last season, with neither team eclipsing 20 points in either game. We don’t expect such a low-scoring affair in Week 1, as both defenses may struggle out of the gate. While the new-look Chiefs offensive line could face some early challenges, Kansas City’s explosive passing game should compensate in what promises to be an entertaining victory.

The good news for the Chiefs is that their Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles will be much closer than the last time these two clubs faced off. Steve Spagnuolo won’t be as focused on containing Saquon Barkley in this one, but emphasizing the passing game more will make running the football easier for Barkley. On the other side of the ball, Kansas City’s offensive line really struggles to prevent consistent penetration and pressure from Philadelphia. Patrick Mahomes and company keep it closer, but the Chiefs lose on national TV.
After a tough showing against the Eagles, Kansas City rebounds with a get-right game against the New York Giants. This is expected to be a relatively low-scoring matchup, with the Giants’ defensive line causing some problems for the Chiefs up front. However, Isiah Pacheco comes through with a big performance, and Kansas City’s defense neutralizes nearly everything the Giants’ offense attempts.

The Chiefs schedule in 2025 looks much more challenging than it was last season, as evidenced by a pair of matchups against two of the best NFL teams in September. In this matchup against Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, Kansas City’s defense has no answers. Failing to produce a takeaway and allowing an alarming number of third-down conversions, the Chiefs miss key opportunities to put Baltimore away. To make matters worse, the left side of Kansas City’s offensive line prevents Mahomes from mounting a fourth-quarter comeback.
