The Chiefs made big strides in the Week 2 Pundit Power Rankings — but before we get to that, a quick note about last week.
As you may recall, the MMQB Power Rankings weren’t yet available when we published the pundit rankings last Tuesday. We expected them to favor the Chiefs a bit more than some of the others since we knew that two MMQB writers had predicted the Chiefs will win the Super Bowl this season.
Well... we were right. And wrong.
When it came out on Wednesday, the MMQB poll ranked the Chiefs at number 12 going into Week 1 — which was indeed a bit higher than most other pundit polls.
