Despite the Kansas City Chiefs trading Tyreek Hill in the offseason, NFL expert Trey Wingo believes the Patrick Mahomes-led squad is still one of the top teams in the league.

Wingo, the chief trends officer and brand ambassador for Caesars Sportsbook, told Fox News Digital in a recent interview that Mahomes and the team heard all the slights in the offseason, especially after the team lost to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship.

There was also the matter of the Denver Broncos acquiring Russell Wilson in the offseason, making the AFC West one of the toughest in football.

"Kansas City listened to everything everybody said in the offseason. ‘Oh, the AFC West is stacked. They’re gonna have a tough time winning that division. I think I’d take Justin Herbert over Patrick Mahomes,'" Wingo said.

"'I think Josh Allen is gonna win the MVP. I think Joey Burrow is better than Patrick Mahomes.’ And he heard all of that and came out and just smoked the Arizona Cardinals, who were a playoff team last year. He threw for 360 yards, five touchdowns, no interceptions and took the fourth quarter off. I think that the Chiefs are going to be a lot better than almost everyone else is predicting."

There was no stopping Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense in Week 1’s 44-21 win over the Cardinals, as Wingo noted. Mahomes only missed on nine passes and connected with nine different receivers.
