As for this upcoming game Sunday, I would assume the Donkeys would be favored & historically the Chiefs have been a very good home underdog.
I'm not sure where some people were getting this concept that the Chiefs had to win every home game, but I can tell you for a fact that the Chiefs did win all their home games in 1971, 1995, 1997, and 2003 and proceeded to lose in their opening playoff game all 4 times.
My point is, if they can capture road wins against the Redskins and Raiders and win their home final against Indy, then the loss to SD last week and regardless of the outcome of this game with the Donkeys, they'll still get a post-season slot. I believe it would be in their best interest to let their players who are hurting get healthy such as Hali, Houston, DeVito, and anybody else. This game upcoming against Denver will only determine the division winner, not whether or not the Chiefs make the post-season. So they should just go with the players that are healthy and just give it their best shot this Sunday.
