Do the Kansas City Chiefs have another 15-win campaign in them in 2025? Rich Eisen believes so. Daniel Jeremiah, however, does not.
No one is going to predict an early demise for the Chiefs at this stage, and expectations from any analyst in the NFL will point to a postseason appearance. But one year after winning 15 of 17 games in 2024, Jeremiah says the schedule might make life a bit more difficult for the Chiefs in the coming season.
On a recent episode of _The Rich Eisen Show_, [Jeremiah showed up to discuss a number of topics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=7MPC8Wysac0) and spoke with the host about his expectations for the Chiefs this year. When commenting on Eisen's prediction of a repeat 15-win campaign, Jeremiah had a lot to say about the plethora of contenders on the team's regular-season schedule.
Rich Eisen and Daniel Jeremiah have conflicting opinions about K.C.'s outlook.

"I'm looking at that schedule, and I'm looking at the Baltimore Ravens. That is a really good football team right there. I'm not saying they're going to lose all these games, but when you look on there and you see Baltimore and you see Detroit and you see Buffalo and two games with Denver and the Chargers always play them tough... You’re going to go play on Thanksgiving and on Christmas. You know, those are short weeks. So I don’t know."
It's not as if Jeremiah is down on the Chiefs. Rather he's more realistic about the rigors of an NFL season, the quality of competition, and how hard it is to consistently win at that level. "Look, they’re going to be a playoff team. They’re going to be a 12-plus-win team. I just thought 15-2… I couldn’t get to 15-2. Feels more like a 12-5 type of team to me."
The Chiefs did win 15 games last season, but many of those were incredibly close contests. Per Pro Football Reference, their expected win-loss totals based on points scored and allowed were 10.2-6.8. This has led some to believe that the Chiefs were a bit more fortunate than they should have been in the standings.
While K.C. did win more games than nearly anyone could have expected a year ago, they did so without several of their top offensive weapons. There are questions to answer this year, specifically on the left side of the offensive line, but the Chiefs should be a much more effective team offensively. Plus the nucleus of a very good defense is back once again with even greater long-term depth.
Jeremiah is right that the schedule is going to make it difficult, but that's true every season for the Chiefs. They're used to stomaching the best punches from every team week after week and still coming out on top. Eisen believes another 15-win season is possible. If the Chiefs can stay healthy, there's no reason to doubt it.
