KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the AFC’s three 7-5 teams. Three conference teams are 6-6 and right on their heels.
Still, it feels like a playoff spot is inevitable for the Chiefs, who have won six straight games and don’t play another opponent in the regular season that currently has more than five wins.
ESPN Analytics puts Kansas City’s chances of making the playoffs at 92.8 percent. The Chiefs are given a 35.9 percent chance to win all of their remaining games, which is best in the NFL.
In fact, ESPN Analytics gives the Chiefs a better than 80 percent chance to win three of their four remaining games, starting Sunday against the Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium.
