In Week 1, Arrowhead Pride contributors got off to a record-setting start, turning in the best set of game picks we've ever made. Our combined prediction was for the Kansas City Chiefs to collect a 27-21 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, which had only two points of error from the 27-20 final. Our previous best guess was for last season's Divisional round playoff game against the Buffalo Bills, when our 24-21 prediction was six points removed from the 27-24 final. 62% of our readers (compared to 75% of our staffers) called for a close Kansas City win. 11% thought Baltimore would win the AFC Championship rematch. In Week 2, the Chiefs host the Cincinnati Bengals on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Kansas City is favored by 5.5 points.

Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images The third-year linebacker embraces having more responsibility on his plate. In the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 1 win over the Baltimore Ravens, linebacker Leo Chenal was arguably the defense’s most impactful player. He led the team in defensive stops, doing so from different alignments: Chenal lined up on the edge of the defensive line on 18 of his 48 snaps in the game. He rushed the quarterback on 25 snaps and batted down two passes. As the third linebacker, he still wasn’t a full-time defender — but the different usages got him on the field more. That’s what he likes about his expanded role in the defense; he went into detail with reporters in the locker room on Thursday. “It’s always nice getting on the field more, I’ll take it,” Chenal remarked. “It’s really fun to be able to expand that even more, from rookie year to second year to third year. It’s being able to fully understand the job and the guys in front of me.” Against Baltimore, Ch
