My gut tells me we are going to go 11-5, but above is my game by game prediction for the moment.
Sith Master
Sept. 9: Atlanta, noon L - I expect a slow start here, and The Falcons are an established team that has been together for a while now, so there is little adjustment time needed for them.
Sept. 16: at Buffalo, noon W - Not this time Pal. We slept on the second game of the year last year, and it really hurt us for the entire season. They will be ready for this like no other, especially if we come in at 0-1. Chan had his revenge too, so that is diminished.
Sept. 23: at New Orleans, noon W - The Saints will not be trashed for the whole year, but they may not be "rolling" right out of the gates. There are changes that The Sainst will have to work through, plus an image to have to defend from the controversy and that makes them very vulnerable, especially early in the year.
Sept. 30: San Diego, noon W - 2-1 at this point, with a chance to really establish ourselves for the year. These games with The Chargers have always been good ones. But I see San Diego as a team going the opposite direct from The Chiefs, and homefield advantage is big at Arrowhead.
Oct. 7: Baltimore, noon L - If we are 3-1 coming into this one, overconfidence could need to be put in check. I think this game is extremely winnable for The Chiefs, especially if Charles is cut loose against them. But I also know that this game is easily losable too.
Oct. 14: at Tampa Bay, noon L - It would not be a KC Chiefs season, if it did not allow all the haters to run in screaming how they were a fluke all along. So this game, on the road, gives the haters a chance to run their mouths and demand that everybody gets fired and what-not.
Oct. 21: bye Just an extra week for all the arguing to get heated here.
Oct. 28: Oakland, 3:05 p.m. W - No big accomplishment here. This will not stop the calls for everybodys heads.
Nov. 1: at San Diego, 7:20 p.m. L - The Chargers are still no slouch, and it keeps the heat on. But all the whining is about to get silenced...
Nov. 12: at Pittsburgh, 7:30 p.m. W - The Chiefs play well against The STeelers. And The Chiefs are a much improved team, while The Steelers are going to be trying to just maintain the long-term success they have always been built on.
Nov. 18: Cincinnati, noon W - Homecoming, after a big Monday night win? The Bengals still need to prove to me that they are actually a good team, but I don't think it matters at this point. The Chiefs are getting confident, even while keeping their feet on the ground. The fact is that this is a pretty good football team.
Nov. 25: Denver, noon W - Manning has gone through the adjustment to his new team, and is now looking to lead the chaarge to the playoffs. Unfortunately, The Chiefs have been expecting him all along, and he is hand-cuffed by Romeo, as he often is.
Dec. 2: Carolina, noon L - 7-4, and playing at home? All the fans will be overlooking this one, and something will go wrong. But the haters will be quiet here, they must now wait until the season ends, because you just can't say much when the team is in position to clinch a playoff spot. But they finally see hope again, after having had to sit through a three game sewwp of playoff teams.
Dec. 9: at Cleveland, noon W - Peyton Hillis scores big this week. But worse for The Browns, it takes their defensive focus off of Charles, and the running game just explodes.
Dec. 16: at Oakland, 3:05 p.m. W - The Chiefs finally get back to doing what they do best, and that is stringing together wins against The Raiders.
Dec. 23: Indianapolis, noon W - move to 10-5, and clinch the division.
Dec. 30: at Denver, 3:15 p.m. L - Not that The Chiefs sit their starters, or anything. But they have little to play for, and the Broncos are hoping for some help to go along with this win, to put them in the playoffs.(They will not get it)
Now, that's just how I see the season going, not really how I think each game would go. But I had fun with it. I'll probably have a different season prediction after I see what we do in the draft, and the second FA period.
But what I expect of The Chiefs is to do so well that everybody has to stop the complaining, but not so well that the Cassel haters would have to admit much. They will still get to blame him for the 6 losses, and give all credit for the 11 wins to the team that "carried him" and his 3,668 Passing Yards.

I like your analysis! You say "11-6" so I assume you have them winning one playoff game?[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=black] [U][COLOR=sienna]

I can see the Chiefs losing to Atlanta, but I think with a full off-season to prepare specifically for that first game, the Chiefs can beat them. The Falcons were only 4-4 on the road, last year, and started out the season 2-3, so I figure we get them before they start to "gel,"
I don't see us losing to the Bucs (4-12 last year), but a lot of people here are predicting that. I do think Carolina will be better this year (6-10 last year) but I think we will be good enough to beat them at home.
The other 13 games, (and even Atlanta, maybe) I can see playing out just like you predicted.

I had a feeling our predictions would be pretty similar, chief31.
Franchise Player
Sept. 9: Atlanta, noon W (Nail Biter could go either way, but I think the Chiefs look to come out intense for the home opener, and are embarrassed about how they played week 1 last year)
Sept. 16: at Buffalo, noon W (Could easily be a loss as well, but as everyone has been saying "revenge game". Although I don't like the idea of seeing Mario Williams!)
Sept. 23: at New Orleans, noon L (On the Road in the superdome, if Brees plays, he is the difference)
Sept. 30: San Diego, noon W
Oct. 7: Baltimore, noon L (depending on our record and our confidence, this will be a good game)
Oct. 14: at Tampa Bay, noon W (took two steps back after last year)
Oct. 21: bye
Oct. 28: Oakland, 3:05 p.m. W
Nov. 1: at San Diego, 7:20 p.m. L
Nov. 12: at Pittsburgh, 7:30 p.m. W (Would have beat them last year if we had a QB in place, older and wore down, the Steelers are slipping)
Nov. 18: Cincinnati, noon W (In recent memory I think we've played Cincy well at home)
Nov. 25: Denver, noon W (The team is pumped to take off Mannings head, our surprisingly improved pass rush and coverage drives manning crazy all game)
Dec. 2: Carolina, noon W
Dec. 9: at Cleveland, noon W
Dec. 16: at Oakland, 3:05 p.m. L
Dec. 23: Indianapolis, noon W
Dec. 30: at Denver, 3:15 p.m. L
My Rule of Thumb: Always split Division games, We go 10-6 or 11-5. Win the Division and play a team like Cincy at home Round 1 win, and have a re-match vs the Broncos in the divisional round at Arrowhead for a chance to go to the AFC Championship game!
Wow...I can dream can't I?
