With the Chiefs looking like no joke, who would you rather face next week...this is why it's so hard to project who you want to play too far in advance. No one wanted to play the Steelers three weeks ago and would be thrilled if Denver played them instead. Not sure that is still the case.
I would rather play the Chiefs than the Bengals. Chiefs looked really good, but part of that is that Houston is just really bad. Houston was only there because they played in a terrible division.
I think a huge win like that gives the Chiefs a false sense of confidence. Bengals defense is better than Chiefs defense in my opinion (also I think based on DVOA as well). I'll take Andy Reid on the road vs Belichick all day.
Every year there is a team or two that have no right being in the post-season due to a stupidly weak division - Texans are such a team.
I don't trust Andy Reid in pressure games - so conservative (the 30-0 win is a little misleading and based upon Texan offensive ineptness) he begs team to come back into it.
Steelers win and go to Denver and KC come here (without Maclin).
I'd lean toward hoping Pittsburgh wins so we play the Chiefs...
Chiefs - tough defense, QB rarely turns it over, but no Maclin, gimpy J. Houston, Kelce only true weapon on O
Bengals - tough defense, great weapons on offense but QB will either be an inexperienced McCaron or Dalton coming off thumb injury (shaky post-season QB but he's been super solid this year)

I would take the KC defense over the bungles defense. My worry with the chiefs is that alex smith hardly turns the ball over. They can run the football as well
Give me Cinci. The Chiefs are on fire. Despite the people who say "who cares" it's pretty clear that we'd rather take on Cinci, the perennial playoff failures.
It's tough for me to choose to be honest. One one hand you have KC with no Maclin which hurts an already average offense, plus a less then fully healthy Houston on defense. With CIN you'll have an inexperienced QB for an injured Dalton, their D is tough.
I'd have to pick KC to play imo even with their win streak, but really think if the pats show up like I expect them to they should be able to beat any of the two.
