The Super Chargers will run away with this division, no doubt. They might even have reached the Super Bowl last year if injuries hadn’t plagued Raging Rivers, BLT, and the nickname-less Gates. If they can avoid such injuries, this may be the year they get past the Colts and the Pats. Uhh, maybe not my stacked Pats, but I'll give them a victory over the Dolts, since they did beat them last year in Indianapolis.
Oakland Raiders (8-8)
I'm serious. Sure they only won 19 games in the last 5 seasons. Sure Al Davis overpaid this offseason. Sure they would probably be the worst second place team in the NFL, but Da Raidahs are a much improved, and respectable team now. With their first 12 games as follows, in order: Denver, KC, Buffalo, SD, NO, NYJ, Baltimore, Atlanta, Carolina, Miami, Denver, KC... how do they not win 6 or 7 of those games? Obviously, the issues here are the development of my boys JaMarcus and McFadden. They will be an exciting playmaking combo. I think big Rus will be able to manage the team, though not develop into a stud just yet. And, well, any team with McFadden on it will be fun to watch.
Denver Broncos (7-9)
There are too many question marks here to see them rising to or above .500 this year. Where should I start? ...a weak run defense , O-line inexperience, who's their RB?, and Brandon Marshall hurts them early on with his suspension. I'm sorry, Shanny, but you're in the hot seat here. Do you have enough juice to end the playoff drought?
Kansas City Chiefs (4-12)
The Chiefs officially imploded last season, and things won't get much better. This is a rebuilding season for KC, as evident by the Jared Allen trade. Unfortunately, the future begins with Brodie Croyle, who is far from scary.
Feel free to comment and give me flack about the Raiders.

To be fair to the Broncos, it really doesn't matter who's running for them. I see them going 2nd, Raiders 3rd. Just sayin'.
I do think Oakland will be better than people expect. I could see 8-8 happening, and I'm excited to see the Jamarcus-DMF combo.
