Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Kansas City Chiefs vs New York Jets is a cross-division AFC test that could swing the conference picture. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Kansas City Chiefs at 95% to New York Jets's 5%, spread KC -9.5. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#2 vs #26), and the contender tiers agree.
Tactically, Kansas City Chiefs will want to lean on best QB on earth to attack New York Jets, whose coaching reset is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, New York Jets's dynamic skill talent could punish Kansas City Chiefs if aging skill corps goes unaddressed. It is the kind of trade-off decided in the margins: third down, the trenches, and the turnover battle.
Keep an eye on Patrick Mahomes (QB) and Garrett Wilson (WR): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Chiefs get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
