Wow I just checked and you're right. Very surprised by this to be honest - I watched each of the Chiefs games the last few weeks and they just look OK. I have to assume this is based on Mahomes, Reid and their overall path to getting to the super bowl.
No one wants to see the Ravens
if we were 7-6 woudn't the line here be that we are what are record says we are, aka, mediocre?
If you are losing to the Patriots and Jets you are not a good team. You can be a dangerous team and not be a good team. They are not a good team. They are a team that plays very feast or famine so when it works it works well and when it fails it fails spectacularly. That is the recipe of a good team ever. I cannot think of a single championship team in the past 20 years that followed that model. They are the 5th-7th best team in the AFC. They can hang with the big boys or lose to the scrubs and anything in between. They are the epitome of any given Sunday. They USED to be a contender. They are not anymore.
You tried to say they were ascending. There is no basis for that argument. Unless by ascending you mean they won 1 game in a row. There is no way to take a sample of the Bills that makes them look like a team catching fire. Once you get outside of the September window every single window will have them no more than 1 game over because they have not won 2 in a row since week 4 over the Dolphins. That was their peak. They have descended steadily since that peak.
I think we have to call Balt the AFC favorite at this point...i get Mahomes but man that team does not look right and has not for a few weeks.
Again their peak was week 4. Since week 4 their games are: Giants (W), Patriots (L), Buccs (W) (though almost an L which is sad), Bengals (L), Broncos (L), Jets (W), Eagles (L), Chiefs (W). So they have 1 good win since week 4 and some very bad losses. The sales pitch of: well in their last 3 they beat the mighty Jets, almost beat the Eagles, and then narrowly beat the Chiefs (who seem to be having their own issues considering they have lost 3 of 4 and 4 of 6 after a hot start).
Bills are favored by 1.5
Baltimore is a slight favorite over KC. last I looked I think it goes 49ers, Ravens, Chiefs, Eagles, Cowboys. Eagles and Cowboys so far back because I think the 49ers are so far ahead of them both and likely riding to the first seed, and Eagles still have the inside track to the second seed.
Measuring by EPA/play the graph says SF has the best offense in the league and the fifth best defense while Dallas is second and third, respectively.. I'd have guessed it the other way around.
Hmmm, so does a good team lose to the cardinals? actually, you don't need to answer that one lol. think we can just agree to disagree on this. don't have enough time today for the back and forth. Hopefully the cowboys don't share the same mindset that they aren't good
look they're record says they aren't .... issues in very close games they lost, if you take more into account their offense and defensive rankings, they are actually a good team. ,ironic SF started last year just like this. good that you believe they aren't but most still respect they are dangerous especially at home,.
upon return that we saw three block in the backs not called.lol .refs strike again.
they move the ball down the field and score on most teams with relative ease. their problem is defense. they don't field one.
I'd like to see the Ravens. In the Super Bowl.
