124. . . . Kansas City Chiefs. . team

Biggest advantage: ‘Big Red’ is K.C.’s coach,  Biggest disadvantage: The Chiefs play defense now

Be honest. After watching this man coach for 21 years, 14 in Philly, are you any more confident now than you’ve ever been about Andy Reid‘s chances of taking a team to the Super Bowl and winning it?

Oh, he’s an excellent coach! You can win 12 games every year with him on the sideline, but when it comes to the postseason, he morphs into a more offensive-minded Marty Schottenheimer. He can’t manage the clock. He can’t make adjustments, and anything that can go wrong often does go wrong.

Here’s where the Kansas City Chiefs give Philly problems. The ‘Birds’ got to hang with all of those offensive weapons and keep Patrick Mahomes from catching fire, but that isn’t even the biggest issue. The Chiefs are also playing defense now. They don’t even need to be great. They just need to stop two or three drives, something they’ve shown that they can do. We all know that this team can go blow-for-blow scoring-wise with anyone.
