They've been lucky this year, Jack. Just like the Bills were unlucky a couple of years ago early in the season. But then Buffalo started to get some breaks and ran off a winning streak. We'll see if the Chiefs start losing some close ones, or if they cure some ills and rip off some one-sided wins.
And that's the issue. Point differential is a much better indicator of relative strength ... over the long term. Winning close ones isn't a case of character; it's a case of letting lesser teams hang around and giving them a chance to win.
