Let's revisit this statement given what's happened since last week.

The Titans are only good against the teams they're good against. They are, in particular, completely unequipped to deal with the Chiefs, so they have basically no chance of getting out of the AFC. They're irrelevant. As you can see tonight, any of the top NFC teams beat them, because all of the top NFC offenses are pass-heavy with the possible exception of Tampa Bay, and they're capable of it as well.

The Ravens are sort of similar. If they're behind, they'll probably stay there, and you never know whether you're getting good Jackson or bad Jackson. They could beat anyone in the NFC, I guess, but I wouldn't pick them to do so. Anyway, as noted, they cannot beat the Chiefs.

The Bills might be a thing. They're actually legitimate. But until they do something in the playoffs, I'm not going to be sold. So we'll put a pin in that one.

So yeah, I have to stand by my original statement. The Chiefs are pretty much the whole league, subject to the Bills proving themselves. They outclass the rest of the good teams in the AFC to roughly the same degree they outclass the good teams in the NFC.
