Hopefully the Raiders beat the Ravens tomorrow, will be a very tough real early test in the season for them.

Raiders are much better this year. On their way up for sure.

Don't want them to get to good though.

Probably not. Which Chargers player will suffer the next season ending surgery Sunday though?

Hard to say, I want to say we have turned the corner, but I am still being a jaded optimist/realist.

Ssooo with that being said:
A. We roll over them.
B. They roll over us.
C. It's a close game.

I think it will be C & we will just win by 3 points or less.

Also the offense is better this year than last. No longer a mashed up offensive scheme to accommodate a crippled Manning.

3-0 and heading into TB with a full head of steam.

Also this Broncos team takes the note of naysayers and wants to prove them wrong.

Miller is a lead candidate for DPOY.

Broncos will win the division and be in the playoffs (obviously is they are winning the division).

The AFC West is the strongest division in the league IMO. Chargers and Raiders are better and the Chiefs are already good.

After their past two efforts, I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Well, the Bronco's have lost 2 in a row. The over rated Raider defense came through for me this week with flying colors $$$$$$$$$$$. K.C. through the most difficult stretch of their schedule, imho and Justin Houston comes back next week !!!

I've stuck with my pick of the Chiefs winning the division so far, and I still think it's pretty likely. I fully expect that the Broncos will give them a run for their money, and the other two teams in the division are tough to rule out as well. But I think the Chiefs are the best overall team, and they will keep it rolling.

I believe you and I are the only ones that like the Chiefs. I expect the defense to be much better when Justin Houston takes the field starting this weekend.

Yeah, you are probably right. I mean, I can see why the picks are so split, Denver, Oakland, and SD are all very solid teams. I just think that the Chiefs are the best overall, and as long as they stay healthy they should be able to win more games than the rest.

So what happened to all the Raider and Bronco posters? I guess they can't contribute to the football forums unless their teams win.

I'm here. Just been busy. Facing the Texans and Osweiler is just what the doctor ordered for the Broncos. It'll get their D back together.
Denver has work to do on the run game and Online but I still think they win he division.

I am sincerely hoping & praying the Raiders win their next 2 games on the road in Florida...I hope were legit.
Our D# is terrible, some other posters think it's Ken N Jr. I'm not sure if it is entirely his fault or some of the blame goes
to the players. Hell I would even take a split 1-1 for the next 2 games.

Don't get too down on them. They've lost to two great teams so far. I think they have a good shot to win the next two though, TB and Jax are decent but I like Oakland in both of those.
