NFL Predictions: AFC West:  Kansas City Chiefs
Entering Week 9: Overall Record (5-2) / Divisional Record (2-0) / Conference Record (2-2)

Playing without Tyreek Hill could not stop Patrick Mahomes from finding success on the gridiron. No.15 continues to dominate opposing defenses, ranking fourth in passing yards (2,159) and average yards per pass (8.2). Assistance from reliable targets makes the Chiefs’ offense a threat every possession. Juju Smith -Schuster and Travis Kelce will continue to make plays against a weaker slate of opponents in the upcoming schedule – making clinching a playoff berth an easy task for Kansas City.

Team to Watch: Los Angeles Chargers

Los Angeles has the second-best record in its division and is only one game behind in the divisional standings. The Chargers’ conference record (4-2) is the best in the division and will help them win in a tiebreaker situation.

Anticipation for the playoffs will rise as the season reaches its final stretch. Standings in the AFC remain tight – creating opportunities to sneak into the picture in the final weeks. Coaches across the conference understand the importance of clinching a berth and will ensure their squads are ready for the journey.
