Your Kansas City Chiefs return from the bye week with a 7-2 record and the inside track to the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
The Chiefs will face the Eagles on Monday Night Football in Week 11 to start the second half of the season before a pair of road games to set up a showdown with the Bills.
How will the Chiefs fare in those games and the contests after? Let's go through every game left on the schedule and predict the final scores:
Predicting Every Remaining Game on Chiefs' 2023 Schedule
- Week 11: Eagles @ Chiefs - Nov. 20th
- Week 12: Chiefs @ Raiders - Nov. 26th
- Week 13: Chiefs @ Packers - Dec. 3rd
- Week 14: Bills @ Chiefs - Dec. 10th
- Week 15: Patriots @ Chiefs - Dec. 18th
- Week 16: Raiders @ Chiefs - Dec. 25th
- Week 17: Bengals @ Chiefs - Dec. 31st
- Week 18: Chiefs @ Chargers - TBD
Week 11 - Philadelphia Eagles @ Kansas City Chiefs - Nov. 20th
Score Prediction: 24-20 Chiefs
We know that Andy Reid is 27-4 after a bye week, but there are a few under-the-radar reasons to like the Chiefs' chances to beat the Eagles once again.
Kansas City is 16-2 outright in its last 18 regular season games at home. While the defense is getting recognized this season, Steve Spagnuolo's dominance extends beyond the 2023 season.
In the Chiefs' last 18 regular season home games, our defense held the opponent to 17 points or fewer 13 times.

In those 18 games, opponents averaged just over 15 points per game. This defensive excellence isn't new!
The Eagles are 1-7 in their last eight games as underdogs, failing to cover the spread in each of the last four. In those four, Philly's defense allowed over 36 points per game to the opponent.
I don't expect the Chiefs to run up the score, given the new offensive approach that emphasizes short passes and long drives, but the Eagles' defensive struggles give me optimism for the game overall.
Fans may expect another offensive shootout like the Super Bowl. However, I see no reason not to trust Spagnuolo, Trent McDuffie, L'Jarius Sneed, and company to smother Philadelphia's scoring opportunities.
Expect the Chiefs to improve to 8-2 with a tough win in Week 11.

Week 12 - Kansas City Chiefs @ Las Vegas Raiders - Nov. 26th
Score Prediction - 34-10 Chiefs
The Chiefs have 30+ points in seven consecutive games against the Raiders and I'm not about to predict that streak ends. After all, we've seen enough illustrious streaks meet their conclusion this year.
Maxx Crosby's chirping at Patrick Mahomes got national attention on the Netflix documentary showcasing the latter, and I expect this is the game we'll remember as when Mahomes and the offense got their swagger back.

Mahomes can play football indeed.
The Raiders are a mess across the board and pose no threat to overcoming the Chiefs, whether this is in Vegas or not.
Kansas City will feel pressure to stay atop the AFC and won't let an opportunity like this slip through the team's fingers. The Chiefs win once again.
Week 13 - Kansas City Chiefs @ Green Bay Packers - Dec. 3rd
Score Prediction: 20-6 Chiefs
The Chiefs' hilariously put Jordan Love's family in the nosebleeds in his first career start, but this time around his family will wish Kansas City made it harder to see the brutality.
This is a QB so unmemorable that Andy Reid didn't even know who he was! Jordan Love is not an NFL-caliber starting QB and I don't expect the Packers to find the end zone in a relatively easy Chiefs win.
Peter Schrager is spitting 100 percent facts about Chiefs defense! 🗣️🔥pic.twitter.com/3ydl9uqM1H
— Brad Henson Productions (@BradHensonPro) November 6, 2023
Green Bay's offense is averaging just five yards per play (21st in NFL) and scored just seven points against the Chiefs in that 2021 contest. I don't see a reason to think Love can put up points now.
The Packers are sixth in the NFL in opponent yards per play (4.9), so the Chiefs are up against a tough opponent. That being said, talent wins in the end just like the Chiefs will.
A win against the Packers puts us at 10-2. Will we lose another game?
Week 14 - Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs - Dec. 10th
Score Prediction: 28-17 Chiefs
Don't look now, but the Bills are 1-3 outright on the road this season.
That ugly record includes a six-point loss to the Jets in Week 1, a four-point loss to the Patriots and a six-point defeat at the Bengals' hands two weeks ago. This team cannot compete on the road in 2023. Unfortunately for Bills fans, they happen to be facing one of the NFL's best squads at utilizing home-field advantage.
The window to win a Super Bowl for the Bills may have already shut, according to @wingoz 😬 pic.twitter.com/WhZEJoeqTe
— The 33rd Team (@The33rdTeamFB) November 9, 2023
That just about sums things up, doesn't it? Buffalo hasn't been the same since the dramatic late loss to the Chiefs in the 2022 AFC Divisional Round of the playoffs and now defensive injuries have rendered the Bills close-to-irrelevant.
Josh Allen leads the league in interceptions (9) and will be fighting for their playoff lives at this point. Kansas City's defense is too good, barring injury, to let Allen get through this game without a disastrous turnover (or two).
After this win, we'll just be counting down the days until Chiefs vs. Bengals on New Year's Eve. That being said, we've still got a couple of checks to mark in the win column first.
Week 15 - Kansas City Chiefs @ New England Patriots - Dec. 18th
Score Prediction: 27-9 Chiefs
You may notice a theme here. Yes, I do anticipate the Chiefs putting forth a dominant second half en route to a Super Bowl.
A convincing victory over Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots will be only the latest example in Andy Reid's inevitable march towards being recognized as the greatest head coach in NFL history.
If you've watched this Chiefs defense or this Patriots offense play at all, you likely have the same question I do: how on Earth is Mac Jones going to score points here?
I have a hint: he won't.
Nice throw by Mac Jones lmao pic.twitter.com/YuvNfElptl
— Jordan Moore (@iJordanMoore) November 5, 2023
KC Kingdom is willing to speak the hard truths - Mac Jones sucks!
The Patriots are 2-13 against the spread in their last 15 games. They've not covering here and the Chiefs will march to an easy win.
Week 16 - Las Vegas Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs - Dec. 25th
Score Prediction: 30-3 Chiefs
What's Christmas without a classic present?
The Chiefs will be close to securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC at this point, while the Raiders will hope to lose to ultimately attain the services of Caleb Williams in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Get your popcorn ready, folks. This one is going to be ugly .

— Quick.Media (@ChiefMoBB) November 8, 2023
This right here? That's an impressive move by Crosby. So impressive, in fact, that the Raiders' future is best-served by keeping Crosby on the bench for this game.
Las Vegas just fired their coach and the organization needs a rebuild, that means Crosby will inevitably come down with a mysterious injury and have limited snaps. That's how teams tank, folks!
The Chiefs will score 30 vs. the Raiders again and set up a vital matchup with those darned Bengals.
Week 17: Cincinnati Bengals @ Kansas City Chiefs - Dec. 31st
Score Prediction: 21-17 Bengals
We've finally reached a point that I predict a loss.
The Chiefs will be in position to rest any starters with nagging injury, coming off short rest following the Raiders game, while Cincinnati will need to win given their slow start to the season.
Can't you imagine it? Cincy wins, the national media declares the Bengals as Super Bowl favorites right before Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs win the AFC once again?

🔴 47 Coverage Snaps
🔴 2 Catches Allowed
🔴 1 Interception
🔴 9.2 Passer Rating Allowed pic.twitter.com/SUjFsn4Uuw
Andy Reid and the Chiefs' brass are too smart to show anything of note in this contest, just weeks before they may face the Bengals in the playoffs.
You can expect a vanilla game plan from Kansas City while Cincy puts the pedal to the metal. The Chiefs will set the Bengals up with various ineffective looks and Joe Burrow will find a way to win this game.
Don't worry, Chiefs fans. The Bengals will win this battle, but the Chiefs will win the war.
Week 18: Kansas City Chiefs @ Los Angeles Chargers - TBD
Score Prediction: 23-17 Chiefs
This victory will cement the No. 1 seed for the Chiefs and end Brandon Staley's tenure as head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. Book it.
Patrick Mahomes is now 15-3 following a loss and he'll seal up the MVP award alongside the No. 1 seed here.
Kansas City has four straight wins over the Chargers, who are 2-4 overall in their last six road games as of this writing. Entering the playoffs, there's no reason to expect the Chiefs to take Los Angeles lightly.

1. travis kelce, 35.0
2. george kittle, 31.0
3. mark andrews, 27.5
4. sam laporta, 20.3
5. cole kmet, 18.6
6. dallas goedert, 15.9
7. jake ferguson, 15.5
8. dalton schultz, 14.1
9. tj hockenson, 14.0
10. darren waller, 13.6
Travis Kelce is the ultimate Chargers killer and he'll put an exclamation point on a legendary season with a 100-yard game in Week 18.
For those scoring at home, that means your Chiefs will finish with a 14-3 record. Yes, we're winning the Bowl again. Book it, baby!
