Looks like they have the 3 seed win or lose.

Chiefs have nothing to play for, locked in the #3 seed.

[Go Chargers go]

After today’s game they will win on first drive and rest all starters. 7-6

If they play a single starter, this place better crucify Reid like they did Staley when he played Williams last year.

If they play a single starter, this place better crucify Reid like they did Staley when he played Williams last year.

If you play a starter with a history of injury concerns, who had missed 4 games that year, you better be damn sure he doesn't get injured,
or you deserve to be ridden hard.

Andy Reid will be treated as rock star here if he plays his starters until the half.

He'll be ranked among the greatest human beings in history (hopefully an upcoming Topcat poll), if Chief starters play the entire game.

If not, he better make damn sure they win the game, or he'll be ridden hard here.

Reid has a history of sitting starters the final week of the season heading into the playoffs, with nothing on the line.

Hopefully, he realizes his offense is playing like trash (like his team in general),
and they'll try to get some confidence throwing to wide open receivers against the deadly pattern match up zone Staley special.

With Stick at QB, I’m not sure how much it will matter how many starters they rest…

[21&500]

KC 20
LAC 17

KC 20
LAC 17

So true, we’re 3 point dogs to any team we play. That’s just who we are.

[Topcat]

Okay, so the Chefs are resting many, if not most of their starters...and now the Bolts are favored...I think the Chargers are so dysfunctional that a loss to the Chef backups is a real possibility.
