AFC West Predictions

[dfr52]

The AFC West has to be one of the weakest divisions this year. The Chargers should go 8-0 in the division w/o much of a struggle.

Why are so many people high on the Chiefs? Matt Cassel is not going to help that team out.

I don't know how a handful of people picking the Chiefs 2nd in their division (or otherwise the 3rd or 4th biggest doormat team in the AFC) is considered people being high on them. Everyone has to admit though it IS a drastic improvement over Croyle, Thigpen, Huard and Gray combination. More of a passing threat will also help the run game. What they will dearly miss is Tony G as the reliable receiver

Did you reverse your picks on accident?

Chargers 10 - 6 (Only if team remains healthy)
Chiefs 7 - 9 (still getting chemistry right)
Broncos 7 - 8 - 1 (Rookie coach learning the ropes)
Raiders 5 - 11 (JaMarcus Russell becomes the then New Billy Mays and leaves team.)

Nope

Broncos (best running in the division) (wait and see)
Chiefs (will play strong behind Cassell)
Raiders (still a non issue)
Chargers (Rivers will go down early, then what?)

No Way . If it happens like that you must have some insider info we don't know.

Raiders win the division, if Russell can't get it together, Garcia will step in and lead them. Broncos will be battling the Chiefs for last place.

Im a die hard Raider fan but I don't see them winning the division. 2nd is very likely though. As for Miss Inertia stating that the Broncos will have the best running game in the division, I'm not so sure about that. As inept as the Raiders have been, they've still been the best rushing team in the AFC West the last few years. Last season they battled injuries at the RB spot all year and still led the AFC West in rushing. Mcfadden is healthy now and there will be more of Michael Bush on the field so I think the Raiders will improve upon their rushing attack this upcoming season.

Because the Chiefs did nothing to help their offense out when they picked up Cassell. Losing Tony Gonzalez was a very might blow to that team. So now they're left with a semi-proven WR in Bowe who has had issues with management this off season and a declining Larry Johnson. They bolstered their defense a little bit but their new additions are young and inexperienced. This is why I find it hard to believe why everybody has them making this miraculous surge to 2nd place when they didn't really upgrade their team from last year.
