Ugh. I forgot to mention what an uninspiring victory by the Chiefs last night. Taylor Swift should be ashamed to be consorting with such an uninspiring bunch. 42-10 now that's how you beat a team in a primetime game.
The chiefs don't even look good this season, that's the most irritating thing. They're completely beatable and look no better than a mid tier team. They should have shut out the broncos and put up a 50 burger on them, not 8-19. I missed the game because time zones... And I didn't care enough to watch the highlights but I'm sure the zebras were also repping the red, white and gold.

Eagles haven't been great either but I expect both teams to round into form for when it matters.
Actually shockingly the Chiefs got called for a lot more penalties than the Broncos. I guess NFL figured they could do some levelling out this game so the overall stats don't look too bad because they were going to win even if they called 20 penalties on them. But it was nice to see. Mahomes was pretty whiny about the calls considering his Linemen hold on almost every pass play and rarely get called.

It certainly looked like the officials were trying to create a tight game down the stretch.
As to the lackluster performance, I sort of called that (in the sense that I mentioned it and then predicted the opposite). The Chiefs routinely play down to their competition under the assumption that they can turn it on at the end if they need to. I've heard that they have a terrible record against the spread throughout the Mahomes tenure.
