AFC West

Goal2Go-AFC West

Broncos

So the Tebow Mania has finally settled down so let's focus on everything else. I don't think this is very good football team. I think if the line holds up Orton and Moreno can both put up good numbers and the offense will be ok. The problems lie in a banged up D that wasn't better than average to begin with. Multiple Injuries on the D-Line and to THE LB Corps will make stopping anyone a true challenge. Andrew Luck anyone??

Chargers

I know many people are picking this to be a Superbowl team but I'm not sold. The talent has been there for years and yet they always come up short. Maybe the all too perfect SoCal weather is too relaxing because this team seems to lack hunger and drive to ever get over the hump!

Raiders

Maybe toughest division for me to pick a winner. This team's pass defense and owner are the only two things holding them back. A great tandem of backs combined with an above average QB and potentially one of the best receiving corps in all of football will make this offense fun to watch. But can they stop the pass??? I think letting a legitimate shutdown corner walk will prove to be disastrous for this team. But if one of the remaining corners can step up and fill the void I wouldn't be surprised to see these top two teams flipped. 

Chiefs

Defending AFC West Champs are lead by a top tier Defense dangerous Special Teams and a strong running game. Matt Cassel's health is a big concern and with a Week 2 matchup with the QB hunting Detroit Lions the Chiefs O-Line must keep Cassel clean so his ribs can heal before cold weather hits and everything hurts more. Like I stated before this is gonna be a great race for the AFC West title. Besides my homer eye being on the NFC North this will prolly be the race that I'm most intrigued by.
