Why in the world do you think they are even crossing the Chiefs minds?


Aside from all that, just listen to coaches. Their focus is on their team and the next game. Denver in this case not a team they are least likely to play in 3 weeks

Denver literally missed a chip shot to beat the chiefs


You know that the chiefs needed some late game help to barely beat the bengals in their own stadium?

The only qb outside of tom Brady to beat pat mahomes in the playoffs is also, wait for it, Joe Burrow.

Are the bengals a real threat to make a sb run? No, but i can guarantee you they'll be much happier to play a rookie qb vs Joe Burrow.

Teams that have the 1 seed locked up always rest starters.

We are talking about THREE years ago Since then the chiefs are 3-0 vs the bengals including a game in the playoffs

I'm on your side here, but just want to say every game with these two comes down to the wire. They've developed a very strong rivalry and it's great for the league.

Why? Why? Why?


They have a history that is now a borderline rivalry. The Mahomes/Burrow matchup has produced some great games. I didn’t say it was a focal point for the Chiefs, I said it’s crossed their minds. If you can unequivocally deny that, you have special mind powers.

Would you rather play a Joe Burrow led Brngals w/ chase and higgins and now a TE threat and playoff experience or the Broncos


A division opponent with a great coach and a good defense, who they also happen to be playing against in Week 18, is not exactly an ideal first playoff matchup either.

The chiefs will rest starters because they have the 1 seed

They will then fight their fricking balls off to ruin the season of their actual division rival

No you just have to pay attention to what coaches and players say, they are focused on themselves and their next opponent not some extremely unlikely scenario 3 weeks from now. Their most likely DIv Round opponent is the 4/5 winner not the 7 seed anyway

Then explain Oregon winning the B1GCG. Surely their path would be easier if they had rested their starters and lost, played SMU at home and then Boise rather than getting Ohio State at a neutral site.

College is different. They just want to get as many wins as possible.

Look it’s ok that you don’t understand. No need to keep doubling down.

We have seen numerous times nfl teams with nothing to play for win late in the year and screw themselves in the draft

Players are not going to ever out bad tape out there

Why? They were locked in a playoff spot either way.

You know a team is allowed to have more than one rivalry though. But that would defeat your very weak argument you've been making this entire thread.
