Are the Chiefs overhyped?

[LABILLBACKER]

KC & Buffalo are working with 1 reliable receiver. Both defenses have had their issues. Reid > McD.  Both teams are still practically identical in the pecking order.

KC is tied for the AFC lead.  They have Reid for a coach and Mahomes for a QB.  

 

I don't think they're overhyped.   

 

Vegas still has us - with the same W-L record as KC - as the Super Bowl favorites.  538 has us as as the AFC favorite to reach the SB.  Cinci made the SB last year and are strong again this year yet aren't getting much love.   

 

Maybe we're overhyped?

To be the best you’ve got to beat the best (in the playoffs). I do like our shot as long as our patchwork OL doesn’t get Josh KIA first. Would love to see KC have to play in OP for a change.

On one hand you can look at the Chiefs barely beating the likes of the Texans and Broncos in recent weeks and assume they are frauds or a one and done team come playoff time.

 

But as I've pointed out before historically they have always seemed to play up and down to their level of competition and turn the proverbial switch on so to speak in the playoffs and I get the sense that's whats going to happen again. Pats did this a lot of years too with Brady and still finished seasons on 8 game type win streaks en route to championships and still feel this season ends with KC and Mahomes raising the Lombardi trophy.

In short, the teams with the best Quarterbacks - Bills, Chiefs, Bengals - are not overhyped because they can win any game in most any situation. Most NFL games are not blowouts.
