KC will need help to make the playoffs. and right now close games are not coming up roses for the chiefs.
they are currently 9th in the conference
they NEED to get to 7th to make the playoffs.
looking at their schedule they need to win at least 5 of the 7 games they have left - and they might NOT make the playoffs if they go 5-2.. i have the colts broncos and chargers as games they have a 50-50 chance of losing...

To be fair, the consensus before the season was that the Chiefs were unlikely to continue to win close games at the % they did last year, and would regress to the mean with a more 'expected' winning %.
I would say that the Chiefs being in 11 one-score games _already_ marked them as not nearly as dominant as they used to be _last year_ .
Again, nothing's been ruled out. Someone has to get the 7th seed, and the Texans 5 wins already include both of their gimmes vs the Titans, the Chargers' offensive line is atrocious, and the Steelers defense is terrible AND their offense is very inconsistent.
(Though again, the biggest wildcard to those final standings might well be if the Broncos rest their starters in Week 18 and give the Chargers a free win.)
