I was really shocked at the amount of national guys picking the Chiefs. Through a lot of the breakdowns it seemed like it was going to be a SF pick, but then so many ended with "Ya, but Mahomes." Defense is playing great, offense generally is starting the game strong, Niners have been slow starters the last two games and their defense looks vulnerable, so naturally I'm more nervous than I should be.
I really think the playoff games on the road has galvanized this team. They eliminated a lot of the mistakes that were hurting them early in the year and know what they need to do to finish the job.
