Have you seen the teams HOU, CLE, and BUF have played? They are much tougher than their record whereas the Chiefs are weaker than their record. KC has now struggled against TEN and OAK. Also, KC is not playing well offensively.
HOU has a monster DL and top running game.
CLE is still a solid team.
BUF can also play very well
You can say things like that about pretty much every non-jaguar team in the league. Sagarin ratings (which include SoS) has Cleveland at 21, Buffalo at 24, and Houston at 26. These are bad teams, and with Weeden, Lewis, and Yates in place of Hoyer, Manuel, and Schaub you can knock them each down a level or 2. KC is in a very different class. Assuming no catastrophic injuries, 2-2 is their worst-case scenario in the next 4. Yes, they should lose at Denver, but they are too good at home to lose to Yates or Weeden. Maybe Buffalo pulls out a home win. But I doubt it.
