AFC West

Kansas City Chiefs 13-3

Los Angeles Chargers 10-6

Denver Broncos 6-10

Oakland Raiders 4-12

The Kansas City Chiefs were a pleasure to watch in 2018.  This season should be no different.  They should still be one of the best teams in the NFL.

They may get over the hump and get past the Patriots in the playoffs.  We can all dream right?

The Chargers have to still deal with the absence of running back Melvin Gordon.  He has been granted permission to seek a trade.  Good luck with that Melvin.

The loss will likely hurt them more than they are willing to admit.  Once they lose at least once to the Chiefs, they’ll realize it.

The Broncos may look improved on the field but they and the Raiders will drag up the field in the division from behind.  The Raiders have left 23 rookies on their 53-man roster.  yeah let me know how that works out.

Playoff contenders: Chiefs, Chargers

The Chiefs should get in as division champs.  The Chargers are in wild card contention at best.  If a miracle happens and Gordon returns, maybe a run a the Chiefs for the division title.
