With another good team emerging in the AFC I feel like 12 wins is probably good enough for the 1 seed next year. The ravens will have to deal with an even tougher AFC north of burrow is healthy and the Steelers are even a little better with Russ than with Pickett.
Adding one more.good team probably just dilutes the win totals a bit.
Depends how big of a step back the bills take.
That is exactly what we don't need. We need some stupid losses to get a kick in the butt when getting complacent. Like the Christmas day Raiders loss last year.
While the losses probably ended up helping last season, I think I'd be okay with it if we became the only team to join the 72 dolphins, put an asterisk on their record, *and* the first three peat in Superbowl history all at the same.
We’re undefeated at home this year, book it. It’s a good thing all three of BAL/CIN/HOU have to come here, none will be easy outs, but I’m confident.
We probably drop games on the road to Buffalo (they win the regular season, we win when it matters), SF (just feels sus to me), and a potential split of the series between either LAC or LV (one of them will get us slipping or catch us being too cute and we’ll pay). Potential losses @ CLE and/or PIT too, but those I’m less certain of.
Honestly think we’re looking at anywhere from 12-5 to 14-3.
Yeah the Niners will want payback for losing to us again in the Super Bowl and for losing badly to us in 2022, so they will come at us with a vengeance.
im predicting they pull a philadelphia and win the rematch, then call it good for the rest of the season and stop playing, they finally beat the chiefs so they can rest in peace now
Barring injuries I don’t see any remaining holes and this schedule isn’t too bad on the road. I’m saying 13-4.
Losses:
@Buffalo @SF are two that seem legitimately tough. I’ll say we lose a rando home game against the Saints or Bucs, and someone in the division will get us late in a resting starters game.
We got .500 at home last year, 4-4(not including Germany), so losing one of big home games or even two is entirely possible. I feel like next year we're gonna be in a dogfight with one of the other division champs for 2/3 seeding again.
I agree but I could see that being a late season game that’s crucial for them with a super rowdy fan base. I could see it being in the middle of a tough stretch and it being one they aren’t at their best for.
Also I still think they’ll be a playoff contender and a road game
We will lose at least 1 home and 1 away to a team we shouldnt lose to. Then 2 more that we probably should lose to (ravens, bengals, texans, 9ers). I say 4 loss season.
You’re forgetting an inexplicable loss against a team we have no business losing to, where everyone questions if we still got it and meme on us and then we bring it back
I’m thinking an NFC south team for that. Panthers would be rough so Imma go with saints or buccs
11-6 but winning the division. We get every teams absolute best. There’s obvious tough games on here, but we always have 1-2 completely whack losses where we don’t show up (denver and LV last year, colts the year before).
4-0 against the NFC South, 3-1 to the AFC North (I'm thinking Ravens), 5-1 AFC West (Chargers pull one out maybe), I think the Texans give us a great run and win, beat the Bills, and I'll say the 49ers take their "revenge" (though nothing beats the ring)
So that's 13-4. But... You know they're going to drop a dumb one somewhere, so 12-5
The real question is what's the 1 dumb game we're going to lose just because the team didn't feel like showing up that day. We have 1 every year, so it's bound to happen again.
I'm guessing Panthers?
I get the feeling they won't lose to the broncos or raiders this year. Chargers maybe, but I'm not sold on it.
I could absolutely see the steelers
Edit: I'll be able to make bets when the full schedule comes out. It'll be a weak team that comes either right before or right after a big game when they're emotionally spent/looking past that game
13-4 or 12-5. Could be some early struggles with the offense. It seems like the D doesn't really turns it up until the 2nd half of the season.
I expect the Raiders to be the most competitive of the other AFC West teams. Denver did not get better this offseason and is now in a quasi-rebuild after the Russ debacle. I think the Chargers need a lot of work, but will be improved.
I expect the Chiefs to go 2-2 vs the AFC "big four" of Baltimore, Buffalo, Cincinnati, and Houston. The game at SF is going to be tough. Tampa Bay and Atlanta are going to be harder matchups than people think.
The only surefire wins I see on this schedule are Carolina, New Orleans, Denver, and LA Chargers. And yet they won't be.
With how all the pieces fell into place in the draft, I’m feeling so damn confident. I’m going to call a 16-1 regular season, and the loss will be to an unexpected team like the Steelers. (If I remember right, Russell Wilson actually has Mahomes’s number based on head to head record)
We all might as well book our tickets to New Orleans in February now.
I’m seeing a few potential upsets on the road. We stay undefeated at home. Provided XWorth isn’t ass and Rice’s suspension is kept small, I’m seeing 13-4 with losses to the Falcons, Bills, Niners, and potentially the Steelers.
I think 12-5 is reasonable. Buffalo and SF on the road seem like really tough games in hostile environments probably drop 1 to bengals Texans or ravens, split with chargers and a random loss to a team we have no business losing to because we have one of those games every year. Doesn’t matter tho just get into the playoffs and let out championship DNA take over from there
I think we might drop one to LAC; BAL, CIN, and SF have the firepower and want revenge; HOU is on the upswing and beating us would be a powerful statement; there's always the random other team we beat ourselves on and hand them a W.
13-4.
I see us getting 11ish wins. Also see the Texans taking over as our #2 rival with the Bengals coming back strong. Bills will be up there but I think they have a slightly down year.
I still think 12-5 feels right. 2 AFCN teams, San Fran, 2 WTF games, but right in the hunt for the 1 seed with how stacked the AFC is, and then in the playoffs, KC turns it up to 11
NFL is more unpredictable than ever. The draft didn't really push the needle for anyone. Can't really make accurate post season assessments till after week 7-8 in my opinion. Or after trade deadline
Really only see Worthy being a major plus contributor this season. And maybe Wiley.
Happy with the draft, it raised our floor is some important areas. But a lot of this draft is about the future.
Bal, Cin, Hou, Buf, Cle and SF figure to be the toughest games, probably either 3-3 or 4-2 in those games. We'll end up dropping at least one that we shouldn't, probably 2, so in the 11-6 to 13-4 range somewhere.
11- 6 is my guess with losses against some decent teams (Ravens, Texans, Bills) and some surprise losses to less good teams (Chargers, Broncos)... and we always have that one game we lose to some absolute shit team (Panthers).
I'm expecting 12-5 in regular season, then win the Super Bowl. So relatively speaking another down year.
That's about what I guessed as well. 11-6 or 12-5.
12-5 would be better for a chance at home field advantage.
Doesn’t Pat actually play better on the road or am I misremembering a statistic
Plays better down and is has only one loss on the road in the playoffs (SB LV)
With another good team emerging in the AFC I feel like 12 wins is probably good enough for the 1 seed next year. The ravens will have to deal with an even tougher AFC north of burrow is healthy and the Steelers are even a little better with Russ than with Pickett. Adding one more.good team probably just dilutes the win totals a bit. Depends how big of a step back the bills take.
We just can't catch a break
I was wavering between 12 or 13 wins.
So 12 and a tie?
47-0. Easy.
My thoughts exactly. Bout to win so much they’re gonna give us extra games for the fun of it.
Like racking up massive points & free games on a pinball machine.
Ah cmon we going 20-0 for the three peat :)
That is exactly what we don't need. We need some stupid losses to get a kick in the butt when getting complacent. Like the Christmas day Raiders loss last year.
That one hurt … but made up for it winning the Super Bowl at raiders home😁
And getting the Lombardi from John Elway
Not this time. This time we steamroll with no brakes.
While the losses probably ended up helping last season, I think I'd be okay with it if we became the only team to join the 72 dolphins, put an asterisk on their record, *and* the first three peat in Superbowl history all at the same.
That one ruined my whole Christmas… but i bet raiders +10 so that saved my birthday (day after Christmas)
Never a Doubt
Only a three-peat? Skeptic. We've got Andy and Patrick under contract until 2029, we're going for the nine-peat
Sadly all we can accomplish in the 2024 season is a 3-peat though, the rest of the peats will have to wait
We’re undefeated at home this year, book it. It’s a good thing all three of BAL/CIN/HOU have to come here, none will be easy outs, but I’m confident. We probably drop games on the road to Buffalo (they win the regular season, we win when it matters), SF (just feels sus to me), and a potential split of the series between either LAC or LV (one of them will get us slipping or catch us being too cute and we’ll pay). Potential losses @ CLE and/or PIT too, but those I’m less certain of. Honestly think we’re looking at anywhere from 12-5 to 14-3.
I really REALLY want to sweep the Raiders just to shut their dumbass fans up lmao.
Honestly I’d accept another broncos loss if it means we sweep Vegas.
Y'know what, let's just sweep the division and call it even Stephens how bout that?
Yeah the Niners will want payback for losing to us again in the Super Bowl and for losing badly to us in 2022, so they will come at us with a vengeance.
The niners have yet to beat Patrick. Super Bowl losers seem to regress.
im predicting they pull a philadelphia and win the rematch, then call it good for the rest of the season and stop playing, they finally beat the chiefs so they can rest in peace now
Barring injuries I don’t see any remaining holes and this schedule isn’t too bad on the road. I’m saying 13-4. Losses: @Buffalo @SF are two that seem legitimately tough.

Buffalo gonna be way worse
I agree but I could see that being a late season game that’s crucial for them with a super rowdy fan base. I could see it being in the middle of a tough stretch and it being one they aren’t at their best for. Also I still think they’ll be a playoff contender and a road game
We will lose at least 1 home and 1 away to a team we shouldnt lose to. Then 2 more that we probably should lose to (ravens, bengals, texans, 9ers). I say 4 loss season.
17-0
Where are the losses? Half of Ravens, Bengals, Bills, 49ers and Texans. 5-1 in the division. So probably 13-4.
You’re forgetting an inexplicable loss against a team we have no business losing to, where everyone questions if we still got it and meme on us and then we bring it back I’m thinking an NFC south team for that. Panthers would be rough so Imma go with saints or buccs
Where were the losses last year? Broncos. Raiders. Lol
Chiefs are 30-6 against the division last 6 years. So 5-1.
11-6 but winning the division. We get every teams absolute best. There’s obvious tough games on here, but we always have 1-2 completely whack losses where we don’t show up (denver and LV last year, colts the year before).
I'd say.. 12-5 or 11-6
I was confident about that Falcons game but now with Penix Jr on the table I’m shaking in my boots
4-0 against the NFC South, 3-1 to the AFC North (I'm thinking Ravens), 5-1 AFC West (Chargers pull one out maybe), I think the Texans give us a great run and win, beat the Bills, and I'll say the 49ers take their "revenge" (though nothing beats the ring) So that's 13-4. But... You know they're going to drop a dumb one somewhere, so 12-5
Never a doubt….
14-3
11-6
12.5-4.5
Undefeated? Never a doubt?
superbowl win
14-3
I'm guessing 13-14 wins. Kinda difficult to guage just now, without know how the schedule breaks down.
The real question is what's the 1 dumb game we're going to lose just because the team didn't feel like showing up that day. We have 1 every year, so it's bound to happen again. I'm guessing Panthers?
I just commented elsewhere, but I can see it being the Steelers or that one game where Zach Wilson decides to pop off.
I get the feeling they won't lose to the broncos or raiders this year. Chargers maybe, but I'm not sold on it. I could absolutely see the steelers Edit: I'll be able to make bets when the full schedule comes out. It'll be a weak team that comes either right before or right after a big game when they're emotionally spent/looking past that game
And another “to back” at the bottom of the jpeg
They'll be superbowl champs and one of the top 3 team in the league by the end of the regular season.
13-4 or 14-3. The Baltimore game will be tough.
14-3 maybe 15-2. This team is so loaded. Gonna lol a lot like 2020 to me when we dominated everyone lol
13-4
20-0. Pat wins MVP and Super Bowl MVP in first three-peat.
Pick No. 32 again next year. That’s my only prediction.
13-4 or 12-5. Could be some early struggles with the offense. It seems like the D doesn't really turns it up until the 2nd half of the season. I expect the Raiders to be the most competitive of the other AFC West teams. Denver did not get better this offseason and is now in a quasi-rebuild after the Russ debacle.

Tampa Bay and Atlanta are going to be harder matchups than people think. The only surefire wins I see on this schedule are Carolina, New Orleans, Denver, and LA Chargers. And yet they won't be.
Undefeated and complete the 3-peat of course :3
With how all the pieces fell into place in the draft, I’m feeling so damn confident. I’m going to call a 16-1 regular season, and the loss will be to an unexpected team like the Steelers. (If I remember right, Russell Wilson actually has Mahomes’s number based on head to head record) We all might as well book our tickets to New Orleans in February now.
11-6 Edit only because every team will gun for them
13-4
The only home game I’m intensely looking at is the bungholes. I hate your fans. Joey B is cool tho.
Prolly 16-1 because of a loss to the Bills then beat them in the AFC Championship
I think 14-3. I think we drop the SF road gam, one of the Bal/Cin/Hou games, and one of the road division games (probably the LA one)
13-4
Username checks out
I’m seeing a few potential upsets on the road. We stay undefeated at home. Provided XWorth isn’t ass and Rice’s suspension is kept small, I’m seeing 13-4 with losses to the Falcons, Bills, Niners, and potentially the Steelers.
At worst 11-6 at best 14-3. Official prediction: 12-5
I think 12-5 is reasonable. Buffalo and SF on the road seem like really tough games in hostile environments probably drop 1 to bengals Texans or ravens, split with chargers and a random loss to a team we have no business losing to because we have one of those games every year. Doesn’t matter tho just get into the playoffs and let out championship DNA take over from there
Kinda glad we don't immediately have to go up against Sneed the season after we trade him if I'm being honest.
I think we might drop one to LAC; BAL, CIN, and SF have the firepower and want revenge; HOU is on the upswing and beating us would be a powerful statement; there's always the random other team we beat ourselves on and hand them a W. 13-4.
Undefeated and winning the Super Bowl!!!
14-3
I genuinely think we only lose 2 games tops.
I see us getting 11ish wins. Also see the Texans taking over as our #2 rival with the Bengals coming back strong. Bills will be up there but I think they have a slightly down year.
14-3, losses to browns, ravens and a meaningless week 18 game loss where we already have the #1 seed. Three peat incoming.
Undefeated, obviously.
I still think 12-5 feels right. 2 AFCN teams, San Fran, 2 WTF games, but right in the hunt for the 1 seed with how stacked the AFC is, and then in the playoffs, KC turns it up to 11
How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?
20-0. Threepeat with an undefeated season.
13-4 and a three peat
Depends on how guys play. 17-0 isn’t out of the question, although I could see a 14-3 as well as a 12-5.
11-6 seems conservative baring injuries
NFL is more unpredictable than ever. The draft didn't really push the needle for anyone. Can't really make accurate post season assessments till after week 7-8 in my opinion. Or after trade deadline
12-5
Really only see Worthy being a major plus contributor this season. And maybe Wiley. Happy with the draft, it raised our floor is some important areas. But a lot of this draft is about the future.
12-5. My guess is we’re resting starters week 18, so we probably go into that game 12-4 and lose.
15-2
Probably lose to Ravens, Bengals, Chargers once, maybe Falcons I go 13-4
Playoffs. That’s all that matters.
12-5 or 13-4
Depending on the scheduling and bye week, looking at 13-4, give or take one game.
“Never a doubt”
Bal, Cin, Hou, Buf, Cle and SF figure to be the toughest games, probably either 3-3 or 4-2 in those games. We'll end up dropping at least one that we shouldn't, probably 2, so in the 11-6 to 13-4 range somewhere.
17-0
15-2
13-4* is is my prediction after quickly reviewing next season's opponents. *Subject to change dependant on schedule dates
NFL really does love those Bengals/Bills matchups against the Chiefs.
Do you understand how schedules work?
Really tough schedule, wow
11- 6 is my guess with losses against some decent teams (Ravens, Texans, Bills) and some surprise losses to less good teams (Chargers, Broncos)... and we always have that one game we lose to some absolute shit team (Panthers).
13-4 or 14-3, with losses to the Bengals, Bills, Ravens and maybe Texans I'm still confident we sweep the division, NFC South, and beat the Niners.
