Psychic Football Hotline

Me: Is Peyton going to get hurt this year?
Psychic: No. There's going to be a lot of talk about his age, people saying whether or not this should be his last year.
Me: Well, they're already saying that. 
Psychic: I didn't know that. 
Me: Ok. 
Psychic: The Ravens are going to be good. 
Me: Oh yeah?
Psychic: Yep. 
Me: You should put some money on that.
Psychic: And the Philadelphia Eagles. Are they good?
Me: They should be a playoff team. What about the Chiefs, I think they're going to be good this year. 
Psychic: ... How many games do they play?
Me: 16.
Psychic: I saw a record but it seemed like too many games. I saw 13-4. 
Me: That would be a 13-3 season, which would be incredible, followed by losing their first playoff game. 
Psychic: Oh, okay. 
Me: That would be the most Chiefs-like version of a great season I could imagine. 

[5 minutes later]

Me: Or..... that could be a 12-4 season, followed by a playoff win. 
Psychic: But then wouldn't that be 13-5 or something?
Me: Well, they'd have a 13-4 record at that point, they'd just still be alive in the playoffs. Who says 13-4 has to be their final record?
