Kansas City Chiefs the team to beat in AFC

Despite losing their season finale to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, the Chiefs have established themselves as the team to defeat in the AFC. KC faced this defeat while missing several crucial players.

This season, Kansas City boasted an impressive record of 14-2, spearheaded by the remarkable talents of MVP-contender Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes showcased his exceptional skills by hurling an astonishing 4,740 yards and 38 touchdowns, while surrendering only six interceptions. Under his leadership, the Chiefs’ offense reigned supreme, topping the NFL charts with an average of 415.8 yards per game.

This season, the Buffalo Bills secured their first AFC East division championship since 1995. Josh Allen had an exceptional year, setting new personal records with 4,544 passing yards and 37 touchdowns, surpassing his previous best by a significant margin. Additionally, Allen proved his versatility by rushing for 421 yards and scoring eight touchdowns.

On Saturday, Buffalo will face off against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite the Colts’ impressive 11-5 record this season, they unfortunately secured only the No. 7 seed.

Next Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers will face off against their AFC North rivals, the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland managed to defeat a depleted Pittsburgh team last Sunday, securing a playoff spot for the first time since 2002. Despite starting with an impressive 11-0 record, the Steelers enter the playoffs in a weakened state, having suffered four losses in their last five games.

The AFC’s most intense game this week might be when the Baltimore Ravens visit the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Despite being the away team, Baltimore is favored to win against the Titans. It’s worth noting that Tennessee caused an upset in the divisional playoffs last year by defeating top-seeded Baltimore with a score of 28-12.

Will the Packers be upset in the NFC?

The NFC playoffs grant Green Bay the privilege of having the first-week bye and securing the top seed. This season, there is a notable possibility of Aaron Rodgers becoming the NFL MVP, placing him on par with Mahomes. With an impressive record of 48 touchdowns and merely five interceptions, Rodgers led the league in passing, accumulating a total of 4,299 yards.

The New Orleans Saints, positioned as the second seed, potentially find themselves in their last matches with Drew Brees as their quarterback. Speculations arose on Sunday about Brees considering retirement at the end of this season. New Orleans is set to face the 8-8 Chicago team, who secured their spot in the playoffs due to a loss by the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

The Seattle Seahawks will be hosting the Los Angeles Rams this week in a clash of NFC West rivals. In their previous encounters this season, each team emerged victorious on their home turf.

In the upcoming week, Tampa Bay stands out as the only favored team on the road in the NFC, facing off against the Washington Football Team on Saturday night. The Bucs, known for their formidable offense averaging 30.8 points per game, will be up against Washington, who clinched the NFC East title despite a modest 7-9 record. Notably, Washington boasts the second-best defense in the NFL, allowing a mere 304.6 yards per game.

Despite the Packers having the advantage, the unpredictable nature of the NFC this season means that anything is possible. The NFL playoffs are known for their unforeseen scenarios.
