I think it depends on whether Melvin Gordon decides to play or not.  If he plays, the Chargers will win.  The Chiefs win the division if Gordon continues his holdout well into the season.

 

I still can't believe that repeat offender woman/child beater, Tyreek hill, did not get any suspension.

[KingRevolver]

Mahomes is going to lead them to the promised land this time...

The NFL is never consistent with that stuff.  Goodell is a fuckin' joke.

[Mike75]

This is very tough

 

It comes down to a very close tight race between the Chargers/Chiefs

 

I think both are Super Bowl worthy reps of the AFC

[JAKEPEAVY21]

I hate to admit it but the Chiefs are the team to beat.

 

I don't see Gordon suiting up for the Chargers again.  He is getting very bad advice as the Chargers offered him 10 million/per which I feel like is more than a fair offer for a B level running back that is injured often.  He is "insulted" by the offer so i hope he gets traded before the season starts so this does not become more of a distraction than it already is.

 

One other thing that I see is that Gordon does not avoid contact, he looks for it.  With the short shelf life of running backs, I would not give him more than a 3 year contract given his bruising running style.

[theguesser]

If Gordon is there, and I think he will be, Chargers win a very close race.  Tremendously well balanced team.  

KC's Defense is totally different than last year, from coaching, scheme, and players, and it had to be.   But is it better?   That question will decide the Chiefs season.  

[Mike75]

With the Chargers hampered by injuries to some of their key guys like James,Henry,Williams,Bosa in addition to Gordon at RB with his contract i think this will affect the Chargers. I think they finish second in division after Chiefs

 

Chiefs soundly beat the best defense in NFL last week. I think they will win the division.

 

Broncos will be middle of the pack.

 

The Raiders could surprise so pay attention they could end up being a wild card caliber team with 9 wins.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

The KC Convicts seem to catch every break possible.

 

Chargers keep losing high caliber players to injury while KC has woman beaters and child abusers suiting up.

Jake... It's been a while since I've logged in... But, you have to STOP with all this nonsense!!! The Chiefs are probably the BEST team in the west, but must clean up their defense a little.. Good Luck to you and the Chargers... I hope all is well with you!!! Take care ole friend...

Hi Jeff i hope all is well out in Vegas.  The Chiefs are my new most hated team and have replaced Denver for now.  I'd wish the Chiefs luck but I'd be lying!

[jeffksu]

Damn.... A little harsh on my CHIEFS... My goodness, they got rid of Hunt, Hill was cleared, I think it was his wife or girlfriend, and now he's hurt.. Your damn voodoo working.. Ease up BEST team in Pro Football... Relax and enjoy The Chiefs Kingdom!!!

was hoping Hill would get karma and be out for the season

 

please, we all know what a scumbag he is this is the same woman he beat up while she was pregnant at Oklahoma St

 

you guys are good but the defense will not be good enough to get to the Superbowl

 

hopefully the Raiders go after Mahomes bum ankle

Looks like i was right. Chiefs win the division,Raiders win Sunday and get some help they could be a wild card they are still alive but barely.
