The AFC west is really a great division, all good teams managed by veteran owners who have won LCs before. KC has the schedule advantage, as you noted jg, but its still a toss up overall, up to the "sim", especially in the H2H games within the division.

GG, Jets.
Chargers prevail in a very sloppy game played in a downpour. (Who says weather doesn't affect game play?) Nine (!) interceptions in total - slippery ball (???).
Still no room for error in the AFC West. Some huge head-to-head games upcoming.
With six games remaining, the Raiders have 4 tough contests against teams with winning records, including 3 within the division. Fortunately for the Raiders, 3 of the 4 tough games are at Oakland. Unfortunately for the Raiders, 2 of the division games are against the resurgent Chiefs and Broncos.
Denver also has 3 division games upcoming, 2 of which are on the road. Week 16 might be for all of the marbles as Denver will travel to San Diego. Earlier this season, the Chargers were statistically dominated, yet squeaked by the Broncos by the score of 7-6.
The remaining schedule for Kansas City is very favorable. Only 2 division (road) games and the remainder against teams which have really struggled this season. Circle November 21, the date on which the Chiefs visit San Diego and seek to avenge an early season loss to the Chargers.
Predictions anyone?
I predict it's gonna be a wild one!!!! That's all I'll commit to publicly. We have a favorable schedule as we did not have the best season last year. Still have to visit the Raiders were we are 3-3 and the Chargers were we are 2-4 It will not be a california breeze. You never know when you'll get a crazy sim and a 1-10 squirrel will find a nut. LOL. I don't rule out 3 teams from this division either. It might come down to a tie breaker, a heartbreaker, a monitor breaker! I love this stuff! My first team in 35. Our division battled it out for five or six seasons just like this. Greyghost was there towards the end. We are the best division in the league LET'S ROCK!!! We all want to win this thing but, no matter who wins I think it's gonna be a doozy! MM
