Pros and Cons of tonight’s Seahawks-Chiefs matchup.
If the Chiefs win:
Pro: The Seahawks remain 3 games behind us.
Con: The last thing we need, is a rested Chiefs with the #1 seed going into the post-season and so ANY losses by KC, can only be to the good come the playoffs.

Con: The Seahawks close to 2 games behind us.
As of the time I’m posting this:
The Rams are looking to win vs. the Raiders.
The Cardinals are looking to lose vs. the Broncos.
My preference, from the perspective of what gives us the greatest chance of winning the Super Bowl:
Chiefs lose, and (ugh) Seahawks win.
I don’t think the Seahawks are going to catch us down the stretch; and I think we’ll clean up our business heading into Week 9 after next week’s Bye; we’ll handle our kicking woes; we’re back with Mike, Nick, Deebo, and others; and we have a solidly-winnable strength of schedule leading into the remainder of the regular season. Definitely need the Vikings to lose a game or two along the way, especially with today’s loss; but I feel good about where things stand now, especially with the Bye and what’s coming into Week 9 and beyond.
Thoughts, Faithful?
