Giants because if you looked at the Chiefs schedule before the year, you would say they would probably be 4-2 or so with Reid. The schedule was soft to start the year.

I have to go with the Giants being 0-6. The Chiefs had 6 Pro Bowlers last season...there was way more talent last year than a 2-14 record would indicate. All they needed was a HC that knew what he was doing and a QB that knew how to not give away the ball. As a Chiefs fan, I didn't see 6-0 happening, but I would have guessed that before I would say the Giants would be 0-6.
Giants is a bigger surprise. The Chiefs had talent, but just needed a QB and coach, an easy schedule doesn't hurt either. The big surprise at this time is that if the playoffs started today, the Chiefs would have the #1 seed and the Broncos would be a wildcard
Giants. Chiefs hired a proven HC and a pretty good QB. They already had a very good defense as well. I can't think of anyone who thought the Giants wouldn't have a single win yet.
I'd have to say the Giants are a bigger surprise, but neither is really surprising.
The Giants have one of the most overrated QBs in any sport, ever. He's always been garbage, especially in September/October.
The Chiefs have not had a lock playoff team on their schedule yet, and they had a much better team last year than 2-14 would tell you. They had awful coaching and a QB that might even be worse than September Eli.
I expect both teams to be around .500 the rest of the way. Giants win 4-5 games and the Chiefs win around 11.
