A Kansas City Chiefs writer just dropped their game-by-game predictions for the 2026 season, and get this: they actually picked against their own team when they face *our* Super Bowl Champion Seahawks in Week 7. That’s right, a Chiefs fan admitting defeat to the Emerald City’s finest, even if they had a pretty wild take on *why*.
KC’s Early Roll: Riding High Before the Emerald City Showdown
Before they hit Lumen Field, this Chiefs writer sees their team absolutely cooking. They’re predicting a spotless 4-0 record heading into their Week 5 bye. Kicking things off, a Week 1 win against the Denver Broncos is on the cards. The writer expects Patrick Mahomes to be highly motivated in his first game back from injury, with an improved secondary limiting Denver’s air attack. It’s predicted to be a low-scoring affair, decided by a field goal, against a Broncos team with “one of the best defenses in the NFL.”
Then comes the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2, who this writer calls “midseason ‘paper-tiger’ champions” last year, essentially the same team without Michael Pittman Jr. That’s another W for KC. Their first road game in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins is also slated as a win, mostly because the Dolphins are apparently “tanking for Texas quarterback Arch Manning or someone similar.” Malik Willis is their starting QB, and their top two wide receivers combined for less than 550 yards in 2025. You know what’s next: Week 4 at the Las Vegas Raiders. A self-proclaimed “Raider hater” means an automatic Chiefs win there. Then they even predict a Week 6 win against the Los Angeles Chargers, despite Harbaugh and weapons like running back Omarion Hampton or wide receiver Ladd McConkey, because “the Chargers are going to Charger.”
That Week 7 Showdown: What a Chiefs Fan REALLY Thinks of Our Hawks
Now for the good stuff: Week 7, at Seattle. Our Super Bowl Champion Seahawks are on the menu, and this Chiefs writer actually picks Kansas City to lose! They don’t think the defending Super Bowl Champion Seahawks are “unbeatable,” but they also don’t think “the Chiefs pull this one out.” Their verdict is a straight-up “lose” for KC.
Here’s the kicker, though: the writer explicitly states they think “the loss of Kenneth Walker will hurt this team more than it realizes.” Seriously? The Kenneth Walker “revenge game” (their words, not mine) comes up short for the Chiefs. It’s a bizarre mix of picking against their own team, but also trying to downplay our defending champs with a head-scratching take on our roster. You gotta wonder if they’ve been paying attention to what we’re building here in the Emerald City. Our 12s know better.
So, a Chiefs loss to our Hawks in Week 7 is locked in by one of their own writers, even with the weird side comments. What’s next for them? After our matchup, the Chiefs hit the road again in Week 8, heading back to Denver. Let’s just say we know who the real champions are, no matter what kind of “analysis” comes out of Missouri.
