0:00It's September 7th. NFL News Today starts now, AI powered and always on. Alright, so the NFL season is officially back and we're diving straight into predictions for the Kansas City Chiefs. The word on the street is, they're looking at a 12-win, five-loss record. But let's break down how that might shake out week by week, starting with. That tough week one match-up against the Denver Broncos. This early stretch is looking like a real test. After that week one lost to Denver, which is a tricky match-up with their strong secondary and pass rush, the Chiefs faced the Colts. That game should be a bounce-back opportunity, followed by what should be easier wins against the Dolphins and Raiders, putting them at three wins and one loss heading into their by-week. The schedule gets a lot tougher after the buy. We're talking back-to-back row games against the Chargers and Seahawks, then another shot at Denver. These are games where the Chiefs defense will need to step up big time, but questions remain about the offense's ability to consistently move the ball against strong

This is where they'll need to build momentum and find their offensive rhythm before facing another Gotlett against the Beals and Rams. Those games are projected as losses, highlighting how crucial consistency will be. Looking at the latter half of the season, the Predictions sees the Chiefs finding their stride, especially with the run game developing. They're expected to win out against the Bengals, Patriots, 49ers, Chargers and Raiders, ultimately landing them at that 10 wins, 7 loss mark, and likely in playoff contention.
