Here's how I see the year going down:

@New England - Loss. A win here would be fan-freaking-tastic, but I just don't see it happening.

Oakland - Win. I don't think the players they added are enough to make them a contending team this year. Plus it's the home opener.

@Atlanta - Win. I like what they did in the draft, but I just don't see it coming together for them. I think Matt Ryan will struggle as the starter this first season, but I think he'll be great someday.

Denver - Loss. I know the Chiefs typically do well at home, but I just think 2-2 sounds a lot more like the Chiefs than 3-1. I think Denver and KC will have similar W-L records this year.

@Carolina - Loss. The Panthers were an average 7-9 last year, but I like their draft this year, and this is a team that could be a contender this year. I think it will be a close game.

Bye Week

Tennessee - Win. This is a great team, don't get me wrong, but I think they are very vulnerable, and the Chiefs will be hungry for a win after the much-needed bye week.

@NYJ - Win. No way the Chiefs will let a victory slip through their fingers this time. I know Herm is probably just itching to beat these guys.

Tampa Bay - Loss. I'm not sure what to think of Tampa Bay. They're a good team, but I don't see them getting any better than they were last year... but I still think they'll beat the Chiefs, sadly.

@San Diego - Loss. I know, I want to win it too. I think the Chiefs will lose here and win against them at home. They always beat San Diego at least once.

New Orleans - Win. Only because I see them as a team similar to Carolina, and I am optimistic and think we will beat one or the other.

Buffalo Bills - Loss. I think the Bills will be in the playoffs this year.

@Oakland - Win. I just hate Oakland.

@Denver - Loss. It will be close though.

San Diego - Win. We almost always find a way to win at least once per season.

Miami - Win. I like what they did in the draft A LOT, but they are going to be young and inexperienced like us, and I think we have the edge.

@Cincinnati - Win. I don't like Cincinnati at all, and I can just see them crumbling at the end of the year.

Record: 9-7, but not in the playoffs. I think Denver will probably get a wild card and screw us out of that. But still, a respectable finish for a rebuilding team. What are your thoughts?
