Most of the year is irrelevant. They had a stellar post-season and nobody is calling it an "upset" because it wasn't surprising to anyone that the Chiefs pulled it off.

Not sure what you're arguing here. I didn't call it an "upset". I said they weren't the "heavily favored team".

Ok, but when a "heavily favored team" loses, that's called an upset. I'm not really invested at all in this, just wanted to note that lots of folks were betting on the chiefs and that the regular season isn't that good of a proxy for post season performance. I wish your favored sportsball team good fortune.

Thanks for looking out for us, champ.
