Episode Synopsis

Chiefs in Trouble? Week 11 Reflections & Week 12 Bold PredictionsThe 2025 NFL season is flying by! Week 11 is wrapped, leaving the AFC playoff picture in chaos, and Week 12 is upon us. Darin Hayes of Pigskin Dispatch and analyst Ed Kleese returned to the Pig Pen to discuss the Chiefs’ unexpected struggles and lay down their biggest Bold Predictions for the coming slate of games.📉 Ed's Take: The Chiefs’ Nine-Year Dynasty is EndingThe most significant takeaway from Week 11, according to Ed Kleese, was the Denver Broncos’ win over the Kansas City Chiefs.Ed asserts that this loss is bigger than just one game; it signals a major shift in the AFC. The Chiefs are now 5-5 and have suffered losses to all the teams they're competing with for a Wild Card spot (Broncos, Chargers, Bills, and Jaguars)."They will not be playing any home games at Arrowhead in the playoffs this year for the first time in a decade. That is a huge change."Ed now believes the Chiefs will not win the AFC and are no longer a sure bet for the playoffs, meaning the AFC is now "open season" for other contenders. Darin agreed, noting that Denver head coach Sean Payton exposed a successful blueprint for beating the Chiefs: running the ball, eating the clock, and keeping Patrick Mahomes off the field.📊 Week 11 Results: Darin Takes the LeadWhile the Chiefs stumbled, Darin Hayes delivered his best week of predictions yet, flipping the script and snatching the overall lead.Darin Hayes' Week 11 Results: 8 PointsPick Details Outcome PointsLions at Eagles-Lions win Incorrect 0Bears at Vikings-Bears win & DeAndre Swift over 100 yards.
