According to NFL.com the Chiefs are exactly in the middle when it comes to strength of schedule for 2016. The Chiefs rank in at 16 out of 32 which puts them in a good situation to be one of twelve teams to make the playoffs. Here is my opinion on how the Chiefs will do in the first half of the season.
9/11 vs San Diego: Win 1-0 The Chiefs open up against a tough divisional match up in Phillip Rivers and Co. on a very emotional day for America. However the Chiefs will take advantage of this match up as San Diego is coming off four straight divisional losses as the Chiefs look to make it five. Chiefs win 21-10. 9/18 @ Houston: Win 2-0 The Chiefs look to make it three straight wins against the Texans in week two. Houston has re amped their offense with signing the 6'8 Brock Osweiler and adding speedsters Will Fuller IV and Braxton Miller to receiving core. JJ Watt is back and seems healthy from his surgery this offseason. However Alex Smith and company should be able to take care of the Texans. Chiefs win 17-14 9/25 vs Jets: Win 3-0 With Fitzpatrick holding out almost the entire pre season and losing Chris Ivory (a fellow Tiffin University student), New York offense looks shaky. Adding workhouse Matt Forte puts value back into the Jets running game. However coming into this game with two straight wins gives the Chiefs the advantage in this one. Chiefs blow out Jets 20-3. 10/2 @ Pittsburgh: Loss 3-1 Here comes my first predicted loss, with Pittsburgh expecting Le'Veon Bell ready to go fresh off his suspension and Antonio Brown twerking on his opponents, free spirited is what I would describe the Steelers recently play. Big Ben and the offense look extremely comfortable despite missing key pieces Le'Veon and Matrious Bryant to suspension. Pittsburgh defense is injured but their high powered offense will propel them to a victory. Steelers win 28-7. My prediction is that the Chiefs will go into the bye week 3-1 and sitting tied for second in the AFC West.
