If weren't taking Vegas' word for it, listen to the internet: the Chiefs are Super Bowl favorites once again. After everything that happened in the beginning of the year, the AFC playoffs are probably going through Kansas City after all. Here's what the Power Rankings are saying about the Chiefs after their seventh straight win, and maybe their most impressive yet.

The Chiefs are on the verge of winning their sixth straight AFC West crown, and they control their own destiny toward winning the AFC's top playoff seed. So they're going to fire Reid? Not a chance. Remember that in the five seasons before his arrival, the Chiefs had two two-win seasons and two other campaigns with four wins each; at 10-4, they're on track to win more than those 12 games this season alone.

The Chiefs' defense cooled off without Chris Jones against the Chargers, but they took full advantage of their offense getting on track with Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce all playing together again like the superstars they are. Kansas City is back flexing as a Super Bowl favorite.
