Kansas City Chiefs schedule 2023: Worst-case game-by-game predictions, Weeks 16-18

24. 28. 124. 1:00 PM ET. CBS. Dec. 25 (Christmas). 19. Week 16

The Raiders have one win in Kansas City since 2012. This may be a worst-case scenario but it’s not that much of a worst-case scenario.

Dec. 31. Week 17. 27. 56. 25. 124. 4:25 PM ET. CBS

The rivalry between the Chiefs and Bengals has become one of the most thrilling in the NFL. But the Kansas City has lost three of their last four meetings.

Each of those meetings were toss ups, so it seems fair to expect the same from this one. Just remember this is not a half-glass-full look at the season.

34. 13. Week 18. 124. TBD. Jan. 7. 33. TBD

Under these circumstances, the regular-season finale between the Chiefs and Chargers could be for the division or a playoff spot.

Remember that thing about the home team in this series? Yeah, LA hasn’t beaten Kansas City at SoFi Stadium since it opened. And the winning streak for the Chiefs on the road against the Chargers stretches further than that.

Another streak that suggests an edge for KC? Patrick Mahomes has never lost a regular-season finale.
