I still have K.C. winning the division and going deep into the playoffs. Still pending. I found another post where I posted K.C. would run away with the division. thanks to the Raider season so far, they made my prediction look bad.

Good call and insight.


Haha, thanks my friend. Though I was wrong about the Derek Carr and the Raiders potential. I've always liked Carr, but I thought that he was at least a year away from making that team a real contender or even a playoff team. I was definitely wrong on that one.

You made that call way back in late September/early October. Like I said, it was a great call on your part. It almost floored me when I went back and started reading some old posts by us all.

I'm certainly looking forward to going back through the true-false thread and some other preseason prediction threads after the season just to see how things panned out compared to expectations.

My Minnesota pick isn't looking too good. Wasn't expecting to lose Peterson and Bridgewater early in the year and my sleeper pick in the AFC was the Jaguars. My tail is between my legs on that one, lol.

This division is most likely going to come down to the very last game/week. #Captain Obvious

Classic *trap* game for the Raiders against the Bills today.

We will see. Go Raiders go!

Justin Houston back in the line up and a Healthy Berry sure makes the K.C. defense more Dominating.

Denver has a VERY difficult last 4 games.

@ Titans
V. Pats
@ Chiefs
V. Raiders.

It will be very hard to win those games but Denver needs to win out. They are capable but will they?

Woopee....
They barely beat a team not that good who lost a weapon. Don't by any KC hype,ever.
This might be the division this year where everyone is 9-7 to 7-9

Next year I'm going to get my own T.v. show and charge people for my picks. Double price for Ernie as he needs serious therapy first, lol.

Man, the Chiefs have our number. We have to figure them out if we want to win this division going forward. The only plus is that they struggle against middling teams at times. If we run into them in the playoffs, it will be nerveracking.

At some point, the penalties were going to bite the Raiders in the ass. Caught up last night. That damn false start...

That was part of it too.. but a lot of costly mistakes.

- King punted to the wrong side, Tyreek Hill TD (lol'd @ Kelce on that one)
- Cooper just up and quit on a ball that he lost in the night
- botched FG attempt
- Carr couldnt hit anyone in the flat

Its a mental block.. when we see the Chiefs we just brain fart. IMO it takes Carr out of the MVP race definitively

Well - the good news is that the remaining schedule is reasonably favorable. Even the Broncos game. Take care of remaining business. Chiefs/Titans becomes a huge game next Sunday.

I don't know... the Titans might just have the Chefs right where they want them.

Chiefs will make a statement vs. the Titans. Titans are on the right track, but at least a year away.

Titans upset the Chiefs. Raiders have to take care of business against the Chargers.

This year has been super surreal as a Raiders fan. Amazing going back to the playoffs for the 1st time in forever!

Same here as a Cowboy fan. Its been a long time these two franchises were in the relevant world. Reminds me of the 70's. Plus its good for football. The farther both teams go, the ratings will sky rocket.
