Kansas City Chiefs schedule 2023: Worst-case game-by-game predictions, Weeks 13-15

8:20 PM ET. 19. 49. Week 13. Dec. 3 (SNF). 21. 124. NBC

The last time the Chiefs and Packers faced off it was a defensive slugfest in 2021. But it also featured both of the QBs expected in this matchup: Mahomes and Jordan Love, who had to step in for Aaron Rodgers because of COVID-19.

KC squeaked by the Packers in that one as Mahomes and the offense struggled. It’ll be narrow one again but even in a worst-case scenario, picking Love over Mahomes doesn’t fly.

The Chiefs have kept the Bills under their finger in recent playoff matchups, but the regular-season meetings have gone Buffalo’s way more often.

Josh Allen has been outstanding in those matchups. Meanwhile, Mahomes had two interceptions in each of the last two regular-season meetings. It’s not hard to imagine him having a couple more in this one as Kansas City trips up again.

Coming off a loss to the Bills, the Kansas City will want to take out their frustrations on someone and the Patriots will have to bear the brunt of that.

New England should have one of the better defenses in the league in 2023 but their offense leaves so much to be desired.

This one will pit JuJu Smith-Schuster against Kansas City for the first time, so that’s a fun wrinkle.

The Chiefs are 9-5 (3-1) going into Week 16…
