While the Chiefs are brimming with confidence in the midst of a 4 game win streak they realize that they almost lost to the Chargers and that beating their 3 previous opponents wasn't all that big an accomplishment. I'm sure the Chiefs are well aware that the 'Fins almost beat the Broncos and the Giants and led both those games until late. They also know that Miami has a pretty good rushing attack (12th) and are decent against the run (13th). They also know that the Dolphins are desperate to get that first win and they play better on the road. I'm sure they are expecting a dogfight and will be fully prepared to play their best game.
Second, The Chiefs next opponent is the Broncos, who despite winning 2 games, may be even worse than the Dolphins. I think next week's game against Denver is far more likely to be a trap game with the Patriots looming the following week.
