This will be a fun game again this year.
Chiefs offense is off and running. Tied for most points in the AFC thus far this year with... the Bills. Chiefs have done it against far better competition, though. Also, the chiefs offense has the fewest possessions in the league thus far this year. They have been extremely efficient with the most yards per play, points per possession etc. No one has stopped both Kelce and Hill this year and the running game is far improved with a completely new offensive line that features 3 rookie starters. There have been an inordinate number of turnovers by the Chiefs this year.
The defense has been extremely concerning, basically mirror imaging the offense. Giving up the most yards per play and the most points in the AFC. Again, strength of schedule matters but it has looked not good, particularly against a very not impressive philadelphia squad. The secondary is full of reclamation projects and spare parts and missing charvarius ward, though he may return for this game. Chris Jones has been kicked out to DE this year, partly to help a poor pass rush and partly at his own request. It has not gone well and I hope this experiment ends soon. The LBs are replacement level at best, though hoping for reinforcements off injury reserve for this week. I'm hoping they are capable of more, otherwise the chiefs are heading for a 2018 repeat with an MVP Mahomes and a defense that prevents another SB run.
