This week’s NFL slate features three games between teams with seven wins or more, the most such matchups in Week 11 in league history. That includes the Chiefs, who have nine wins, against the Bills, who have eight. Could this be the week when the NFL’s last undefeated team goes down?
In this week’s roundtable, FOX Sports’ NFL experts explore whether opponents are starting to figure out the Chiefs and Lions, the best teams in each conference.

In contrast, McVay and the…
