0:00.0	We're back on the early edge on CBS Sports Network, and I am joined by Larry Hartstein,
0:05.9	aka the Maestro and Alex Selesnik, aka Prop Stars, gentlemen, more team-by-team profiles
0:12.0	to get through.
0:12.8	We're 38 days away from NFL season.
0:16.2	I am extremely excited.
0:18.4	Kansas City Chiefs is who we have to talk about today. Now, last year, Larry,
0:22.8	we had the Kansas City Chiefs somehow rattle off 15 wins, only two losses. One of those losses
0:27.3	came in with the backups in. With all that in mind, is this a season for the Chiefs where we
0:33.8	see them flirting with that 15 wins season? Again, I do want to mention they're plus 7.50 to have the most regular seasons in the NFL. Not at all, Sia. This was a team that had the 12th best point differential in the league. They beat the Chargers on a doink off the upright. They beat the Broncos on a block field goal. They beat the Bengals on a fourth and 16 pass interference,
0:54.6	and they beat the Ravens when Isaiah Likeley's toe was on the end line. They were 11 and 0 in one
1:00.1	score games. As great as Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have been throughout their careers in one
1:04.9	score games, this was an anomaly. I think they're still going to be a very good team.
1:09.8	They're still going to be in the mix to win it all. But we're looking at a season of 11, 12 wins, something like that, even with
1:18.0	all the nice offseason additions that they did make. And I totally agree with Larry here.
1:24.6	I think the chiefs are a very good football team, but basically everything
1:29.0	that went right for them could have went right last season, particularly considering their
1:34.9	record in close games, as Larry mentioned. Then we look at the team this year, while I still
1:40.5	think they're going to be very good. They're playing in an absolutely loaded conference.
1:44.7	The division looks very difficult as well.
1:47.6	They have a difficult schedule based on projected win totals.
1:51.1	They have the fifth toughest schedule of any team in the NFL.
1:55.4	So they can still have an incredibly successful year, win 12 or 13 games,
