2018 NFL predictions: ESPN picks Chiefs to go 9-7

The National Football League released the full regular season schedule for 2018 on Thursday night in a primetime unveiling, and ESPN followed suit with full season predictions for each team soon thereafter. If you buy into their view of the AFC West, it’s not a good look for the Chiefs.

Chiefs Kingdom will tell you this is nothing new. Every year, another team in the division is supposed to be better than the Chiefs, if not several teams. The Denver Broncos were understandably the favorites for years with Peyton Manning at the helm and their Super Bowl quality defense, but even in recent years when the Donkeys have faded, other teams receive more acclaim.
