Projected record through Week 10: 7-2
Kansas City’s actual record: 5-4
Games correct: 5 of 9
I was right about ... the Chiefs losing their fifth straight regular-season game to the Bills.
I was wrong about ... Week 4 vs. the Ravens. In hindsight, probably a bit overzealous of me to underestimate the reigning AFC champs at home. Even if Lamar Jackson hadn’t exited early with a hamstring injury, the Chiefs were the superior team that Sunday afternoon, outclassing a Baltimore squad that wasn’t quite right out of the gate.
Second-half double down
Despite entering Week 11 three wins shy of the Broncos’ total and sitting third in the division, Kansas City stacks enough victories down the stretch -- including both tilts with Denver -- to capture its 10th consecutive AFC West title.
Final projection
Record: 13-4 (previous projection: 12-5)
Division finish: 1st (previous: same)
Will the Chiefs make the playoffs? Yes, as the No. 1 seed.
