The Kansas City Chiefs have the luxury of only having to play two games to get to the Super Bowl, that is if they win those two. That is why the regular season matters so much. That is why every game matters so much – to have that bye week in the payoffs.

The Chiefs are the favorite by many people to make it to the Super Bowl out of the AFC, as they do have the MVP on their team, and are probably the most exciting offense in the playoff pool.

But, one national media outlet obviously doesn't agree with that statement, seeing as they have slightly disrespected the Chiefs.

CBS Sports on Twitter ranked the top 14 possible Super Bowl matchups by which would be the best, with one being the best and 14 being, well, not the best.

Because of who is their quarterback, who their tight end is, and who calls the plays, you would think the Chiefs would be the most exciting to most people. That would be the general consensus, right?

CBS Sports didn't rank a matchup with the Chiefs in it at number one. Instead, they did a Bills vs. Eagles matchup as what would be the most exciting game, and I couldn't disagree more.

Let's start with the Chiefs probably having the greatest playoff game ever played last season against the Bills, right? So, I think that right there is enough to say they would be an exciting matchup.

Second of all, the Eagles have been struggling as of late, so that could be just not fun at all.

They did rank Kansas City and the Eagles as the second game, though, which I also think wouldn't be very exciting based on how the two teams are currently playing.

If it were up to me, the best possible Super Bowl matchup in terms of the most exciting game would be the Chiefs against the 49ers. Then again, that may not be either, considering the Chiefs already beat them by 21.

Maybe they aren't disrespecting the Chiefs. Maybe they just think Kansas City will blow out whoever they play in the Super Bowl, as that is very possible.
