lol @ Chiefs believers.  May be headed towards 5-11 or 6-10, I suspect.

Texans game was only one I felt confident about - there's years of Colts frustration bottled up there folks - Colts stood no chance.

I hate to use my team week one, but...

Chiefs

I have a strategy to win this year, but I'll wait till the end of the season to share it. Someone may soon catch on to it, though.

You can't hide a strategy that doesn't work, kid.

So far, for the thread, 5 wins, 9 losses, 3 games to be held.  Nice job, folks.

Well, since that was made obvious today, my strategy was going to be pick the Bill's opponent almost every single week. Many went into this year assuming they'd finish around 2-14, 3-13, so I would have been fine with a 14-2 record. Either the Chiefs are just really, really bad, or the Bills may be decent this year. Either way, I probably won't use this strategy any longer.

The Bills perennial problem has been run defense and reliable QB play.  There also has been a lot of personnel turnover which causes inconsistency.

While Ryan Fitzpatrick is not Joe Montana, I happen to think he is underrated, and if you would have asked me this year, I would have said that the Bills could finish 7-9 or 8-8 if they got their run defense halfway together.  Yes, even in that division - they finished 6-10 last year, after all.  Of course, they still could finish 3-13.

Not to mention that the Chiefs had the easiest schedule in the league last year, and they still only beat the Bills 13-10 in Arrowhead.  Just saying.  This year, their schedule is murder.
