KC

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

1. Chiefs
2. Broncos
3. Raiders
4. Chargers

I wouldn't be shocked to see the Raiders overtake the Broncos.

I have the Chiefs (homerism alert?) as the very tentative favorite right now. This is arguably the most difficult division to predict atm. Lot of moving parts and rosters as clear as mud.

 

[RazorsEdge]

Chiefs.

I think KC wins but Oakland will give them a run for the division.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Raiders rise up and win the division.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Going with the Raiders. But it's really any bodies to win or lose. Maybe the toughest divion to pick at this point.

 

[CCF151]

I'm liking the Raiders this season. They look pretty good on both sides of the ball.

 

[Beaker]

I'll take It KC. They just have the most complete team right now.

Denver's defense is incredible, but I can't pick a team with a giant question mark at QB when there is at least one other good team in the division.

I like Rivers and always feel like the Chargers will have a good team, and they always disappoint me. I am not getting burned again.

Oakland is an interesting team. They could go 4-12 or 12-4 and I would not be too shocked. Very high variance team.

 

[Bolts]

I think any of the 4 teams can win the division, but I'm going with the Chiefs.

 

[Broncosr0k]

Broncos lose a rotation player and ILB, they are going to suck.

Chiefs star pass rusher could miss a large portion of season, little depth behind him, 2nd year CB is your #1 and #2 is rookie, going to be great.

Good logic.

Taking my orange glasses off. This division could be fun this year. I think the chiefs and broncos will be competing for the division but there is the potential that the raiders take a step forward and get into the mix. Even the chargers could steal some wins in the division games, maybe be a 8-8 type team.

Eh, you might have a hard time explaining this then:

Malik Jackson played 75.18% of defensive snaps last year.
Danny Trevathan played 67.15%.
Von Miller played 76.19%

Pot Roast he was not.

Is Von Miller a rotational player too? Not saying it is or isn't silly for detractors to say the sky is falling on defense for either team- just pointing out that Malik Jackson was a bit more than a rotational guy.

I will concede the rotational player argument. He played more than I remember. I still think it is funny to say the broncos D will implode when the chiefs are looking at similar hits to their D. The same D that the pats bent over in the playoffs.

Chiefs and raiders look like the trendy pick again this year. I just won't be surprised if neither lives up to expectations. I also won't be surprised of they do. I just find the logic applied to the broncos to be questionable.

Man the season cannot get here quick enough.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

This is a tough division to predict. Gotta go with the Chiefs. Broncos QB situation is not good. Chargers do nothing for me. The Raiders have to show me something before I put any faith in them.

 

[Wamu]

Who will win the AFCw this year? Well to quote Lou Holtz...Notre Dame!

 

[J-Rod]

Going to edge the Chiefs, especially with a healthy Jamaal Charles coming back. I wouldn't sleep on anyone in this division though.

 

[Broncos6482]

Unsurprisingly, most people are on the Chiefs.

Maybe this is a homer pick, but I still think this is the Broncos division to lose. Running game should be much better than last year, and the defense should still be really good.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

First time I can remember being serious about the Chiefs being the favorite in the division at this point since the Vermeil days. Broncos really have put a damper on what could have been a nice run of division titles in a couple other divisions out there.
