Kansas City Chiefs: Ranking team’s 2020 opponents
By Cullen Jekel
With the ranking in place, how will the Kansas City Chiefs fare in 2020 from when they begin the regular season on September 10th to their final game currently set for January 3, 2021? Let’s break it down.
Week 1, vs Houston Texans–WIN
Week 2, at Los Angeles Chargers–WIN
Week 3, at Baltimore Ravens–WIN
Week 4, vs New England Patriots–WIN
Week 5, vs Las Vegas Raiders–WIN
Week 6, at Buffalo Bills–WIN
Week 7, at Denver Broncos–WIN
Week 8, vs New York Jets–WIN
Week 9, vs Carolina Panthers–WIN
Week 11, at Las Vegas Raiders–WIN
Week 12, at Tampa Bay Buccaneers–LOSS
Week 13, vs Denver Broncos–WIN
Week 14, at Miami Dolphins–WIN
Week 15, at New Orleans Saints–LOSS
Week 16, vs Atlanta Falcons–WIN
Week 17, vs Los Angeles Chargers–WIN
So, 14-2. That ain’t bad.
Week 12 looks pretty tough with the team having to travel across the country to take on the Bucs right after playing in Las Vegas for the first time ever. Yes, this game is only a couple of weeks removed from the team’s idle week, but that travel is going to be brutal. Plus, the Bucs will be in a dogfight all season long with the Falcons and Saints to win the NFC South.
Speaking of the Saints, that Week 15 will be another tough match-up, especially if fans are in the stands by that point. Regardless, the Saints will be in must-win-every-game mode by that point. That could very well be a battle of 12-1 teams. The Saints get the edge with the game taking place in New Orleans.
That’s it for my rankings and my individual Kansas City Chiefs predictions. What’s everyone think? Do I have one team egregiously low or another hilariously high? What about my week-by-week predictions? Hit me up in the comments.
