Who says Andy Reid doesn't care about preseason games? Kansas City won all three last August. That includes two road games, winning 19-16 at San Francisco in Week 1 and a 17-10 win at Arizona in Week 2. The Chiefs are a veteran team that is off of a trip to the AFC Championship game. Reid has experience with most of his players, where they best fit, and who his third and fourth-stringers are. Even the QB depth is above-average for August: Patrick Mahomes will start, followed by veteran Chad Henne, a former NFL starter from 2009-2013. There's competition for the third QB slot with Shane Buechele and Dustin Crum fighting for jobs. While Kansas City has most of its pieces in place, Chicago is in complete rebuilding mode. They let the majority of their free agents walk on both sides of the line and have a new playbook and head coach in Matt Eberflus. The starters will play the first quarter but they don't have an impressive QB rotation with young Justin Fields and Trevor Siemian. This will be Siemian's fourth different team in four years. In the last three years, he has thrown 23 TDs with 17 picks, and in 33 career games he's been sacked 76 times. Play Kansas City.
