The Jets seem to have a big advantage with four opponents whose collective record is 17-31. After facing three straight 5-7 teams (Buffalo, Minnesota, Miami) Chiefs coach Herm Edwards' former team finishes at home against the 2-10 Oakland Raiders. Jacksonville's road looks toughest. Of course, that could totally change in the next week. Before their fourth-quarter collapse on Sunday in Cleveland, when they let the next-to-worst offense in the NFL score twice in the final 9 minutes for a 31-28 overtime win, the Chiefs were on the verge of taking the lead in the AFC wild-card chase. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As everybody's schedule shapes up today, Kansas City biggest stumbling blocks to a playoff berth figure to be Cincinnati and the New York Jets. Now they find themselves bunched near the bottom of a five team pack of contenders. At 7-5 with four games to play, the Chiefs are tied with the Jets, Bengals, jacksonville and Denver. Then in the regular season finale, in a match that could well decide the final wild-card berth, the Jaguars are at Kansas City.
