The Chiefs are on their bye, but there’s much to watch for this Wild Card weekend. Who will the Chiefs face in Arrowhead this next weekend? Find out here.

The Chiefs are currently sitting pretty on their first playoff bye since 2003. Andy Reid gave both players and coaches this week off to rest after a hard-fought fourth quarter of the season. Remember that the Chiefs were one of the first teams to have a bye week, all the way back in Week 5. The rest was well earned with players like Justin Houston, Spencer Ware, and Dontari Poe suffering injuries over the last few weeks.

So who are our possible opponents come next Sunday? The Chiefs as the No. 2 seed play the highest remaining seed from the Wild Card round.

Scenarios

The Steelers beat the Dolphins and the Chiefs would play the Steelers.

The Dolphins beat the Steelers and the Raiders beat the Texans the Chiefs would play the Raiders.

The Dolphins beat the Steelers and the Texans beat the Raiders the Chiefs would play the Texans.

The Dolphins as the sixth seed can not play the Chiefs unless they beat the Steelers and the Patriots to meet the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. As you can see above the odds are we face the Steelers. So lets take a quick look at all the possible matchups.

Chiefs vs. Raiders: Round 3

In Week 6 and Week 14 the Chiefs beat the Raiders both times for a combined 47-23. However, this time around Derek Carr would not be available. Carr broke his fibula during their week 16 contest against the Indianapolis Colts.

Matt McGloin took over and then injured his shoulder during Week 17 against the Denver Broncos. Should the Raiders manage to beat the Texans it’s very possible rookie quarterback Connor Cook would be making his second career start against the Chiefs. The rookie fourth rounder will face the top total defense and second-ranked pass defense in the NFL against the Texans. How well Cook performs will tell us a lot about how a possible third matchup may go should we see the Raiders again.
