AFC West Preview

The AFC West was very entertaining last year seeing the Broncos fall and the Chargers, well, charge. It made for a great comeback story and an historic fall. The Chargers are back this season with a healed Shawne Merriman and the rest of the team the same mainly. Meanwhile the Broncos have lost Jay Cutler and are trying to keep Brandon Marshall happy (personally he should shut up and play). The Chiefs get a new coach in Todd Haley and also get Matt Cassell who played very well while filling in for Tom Brady. The Raiders are still the Raiders for better or worse.

My Prediction: Chargers lead the way. The Chargers will win this division quite easily having the best roster of the bunch. They had a tough first half last year and will not fall apart like that two years in a row. The Chiefs are my runner up. They seem equal to the rest of the AFC west but Cassell may give them an edge. The Broncos are my third pick. They could still get into the playoffs but they have to pull it together and I don't think they can do it this year. As for the Raiders, they have potential for the future but not now. AL Davis seems like he has lost touch with how to win football games and until he lets the organization run itself, the Raiders will continue to struggle.
