Chiefs Predicted as ‘Virtual Postseason Lock’ originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Kansas City Chiefs had one of their most memorable seasons in 2024, but for all the wrong reasons.
The offense, and particularly quarterback Patrick Mahomes, struggled mightily to begin the season while the defense held strong. It’s somewhat of a flipped script for the Chiefs from when the offense dominated and the defense occasionally had to hold on tight.
Still, a 15-win season is impressive by any standard, even the Chiefs.
With the offseason changes and with the focus during the NFL Draft, the Chiefs are predicted by PFSN to be a “virtual postseason lock” to wrap up the 2025 campaign.
Kansas City Chiefs 2025 Prediction
- Projected Win-Loss Record: 10.5-6.5
- Playoff Probability: 77.9%
- Divisional Probability: 30.4%
- Super Bowl Probability: 8.4%
“Since Patrick Mahomes became their starting quarterback in 2018, the Kansas City Chiefs have made the AFC Championship every single year and have made five Super Bowl appearances, winning three of them,” PFSN wrote. “The Ravens and Bills both have higher playoff odds per the PFSN NFL Playoff Predictor, but Kansas City should be a virtual postseason lock. A 16-1 season last year gives the Chiefs a high bar to reach this coming season.
“They have the core pieces in place on both sides of the ball, entering what may be Travis Kelce’s last season. Kansas City’s roster is well-coached and well-put together; they should be serious Super Bowl contenders again in 2025.”
