How do things look for the Chiefs this week? Let us dive right into it.

Kansas City Chiefs at Indianapolis Colts:

The Chiefs at 4-2 are right in the hunt for first place in the division and are traveling to Indianapolis to take on the Colts, an AFC team. A lot of football remains, but this game could very well have a huge impact when it comes playoff time. At 3-4 the Colts are fighting to save their season so they have to be considering this game a must win.

Unlike the Raiders, the Chiefs haven’t found much success on the road. The three Chiefs games away from Arrowhead have resulted in a 1-2 record. The two losses included the ugly 43-14 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers in week four and a week two loss 19-12 against the Brock Osweiler led Houston Texans.

Osweiler and Ben Roethlisberger beat the Chiefs so now I hope Andrew Luck can do it. I definitely give the advantage to the Colts because they’re at home. That being said, the Chiefs have an opportunity to continue their winning streak on the road – it started in week six when the Chiefs went to a soggy Oakland and manhandled the Raiders in the second half, securing a 26-10 victory over the Raiders.

Prediction: Kansas City 17, Indianapolis 20

Go Broncos – beat the Chargers!
