The Kansas City Chiefs could possibly have an advantage over the Seattle Seahawks on Christmas Eve. I mean, yeah, the Chiefs are the much better team and should win.

However, the Seahawks have something going against them that definitely won't help them in their matchup.

Let's start by saying the Seahawks are much better this season than I think we all thought they would be. In a way, they are what everyone thought the Broncos would be.

The Chiefs, well, if you like to be petty like me then you probably feel that the Chiefs are better than people think as well. Just ask Bart Scott on ESPN and Kyle Brandt on NFL Network, who both predicted Kansas City to finish last in the division.

The Chiefs just clinched their seventh straight AFC West division title by the way.

But the Seahawks' run was great, but I think it kind of ends on Saturday, and here is why.

They have some things going against them, like injuries, which have been awful this year in general but have thankfully favored the Chiefs.

The Seahawks had three very important players miss practice on Tuesday they are dealing with injuries.

Kenneth Walker, their stud rookie running back is dealing with an ankle injury, while Tyler Lockett, their deep ball threat is dealing with a hand injury, and starting tight end Noah Fant is dealing with a knee issue.

The Chiefs, on the other hand, are getting some key players back like Kadarius Toney, who was on a snap count against the Texans, and Mecole hardman, who hasn't played since Week 9.

This should be a fun one for the Chiefs.
