Chiefs Win West Clinch Bye Reid Could Be Super

12-4 record in Kansas City which included a week 17 road win in San Diego, was how the west was won. The AFC West champion Chiefs, led by head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Alex Smith clinched a first round bye. No David Carr for Oakland assisted in that. The Raiders were unable to move the ball in Denver during the final week of the regular season. Oakland finished 12-4 as well yet due to regular season sweep at the hands of KC, the Raiders head to Houston in the Wild Card round. Meanwhile the Chiefs are AFC Superbowl favorites with the likes of New England and Pittsburgh. Coach Reid is looking to get back to his first Superbowl since landing in Jacksonville in February 2005. Where his Eagles came up short by 3 points in Superbowl XXXIX to the Patriots. Andy Reid also has to be a candidate for NFL coach of the year.
