RazorStar 4,025 Posted May 27, 2017 Let's breathe some life into this board, who do you think wins the AFC West this year? The Oakland Raiders are the heavy favourites with their high flying offense and new additions to their defense in this draft. However the Chiefs are looking to defend their title from last year, the Broncos shored up their biggest weaknesses in the draft after coming off a super bowl victory two seasons ago, and the Los Angeles Chargers finally put some healthy bodies on their offensive line to protect their star QB. I've got a feeling it's the Raiders year, but it's gonna be a close fight for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC 331 Posted May 27, 2017 The Raiders have become good enough to the point where the Broncos can't carry a dogshit QB with the #1 defense to a division title anymore. Broncos will snag a wild card, but the Raiders will take the crown with a complete team. The Broncos are kinda like the Bears when they had Rex Grossman and an elite D, only not up to that level.

BJORN 679 Posted May 30, 2017 If you are going by trend: The Raiders. On paper, I really like both the Broncos and Chargers (Every year I know but they finally invested heavily in the interior offensive line, the offense is looking insane). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted May 31, 2017 This could be a really fun division, as I think all four teams have a shot (yes, even the Chargers), but I'll go with the majority and say it's O-Town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted May 31, 2017 This is the best division in football. The Chargers defense is very underrated... and the Chargers have plenty of players on offense that are game changers... their season depends on their health and their oline.. the sky's the limit for them. The Chiefs are due for regression. They have a gimmick offense but their defense keeps them alive.. I'm not sure they can keep carrying the load for the team though. The Broncos defense is still very very good, the offense has a lot of question marks.. but home field and that D will keep them competitive. We need to stay healthy, consistent and play better defense. It's possible with the youth we've added and the return of Mario Edwards that we can be at least a middle of the road defense that is opportunistic... I think we win the division but it's gonna come down to the final week as I feel every team in the West is going to be .500 or better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WeaponX20 26 Posted June 26, 2017 I'm going with the Chargers if they stay healthy but if not, got to go with the raiders there offense is top notch and with beastmode they should be a balanced offense... Broncos Defense can only due so much there offense has been a mess for the last 2 and a half seasons , shouldn't be any different this year... Cheifs Defense is very good but there offense has been bad for awhile and now they don't have Jmac or Charles on offense they should finish 4th in the division Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted June 28, 2017 This is a really hard division to call. They might have 3 of the best 5 teams in the league. Certainly 3 of the 10 best in the league. I picked the Chiefs because they have a proven coach and a defense that can be the best in the league. Look at how good they were without Justin Houston for a majority of the season. Offensively I think they have just enough to be the best the rest of the teams in their division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cherry 1,302 Posted July 1, 2017 Rams didn't get a playoff spot after the move and they're the more favorable team in LA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
