2008 finish: Chargers (8-8), Broncos (8-8), Raiders (5-11), Chiefs (2-14)
I love SD but not Norv and another year of dissapointment. We've been here before so lets see how far they go before they choke.
Good Luck

I can't believe that this is even up for a vote.
Oakland, KC, & Denver won't have 20 wins combined.

Buck dont know were you learned math but in my head, but even if the teams do worse than last year(Which They wont) they scored 23 wins last year. Denver alone will score at least half those 20you mentioned alon, Thats right! I predict the Md D Broncos will go 10-6, SanDiego will get at least 8-8 and KC will go 3-13 and the Cabeless(by mid season) will go 3-13. Just in case you cant count or reach your calculator, Thats 24 Wins.

Are you kidding Raider fan!!!!!! The Raiders might not win one game, I can guarantee two they will lose right now. The Bolts own the West right now and to deny that proves that you are a raider "fan"......

The Bolts will win an improved AFC West handily. KC improves to a 2nd place finish, followed closely by the Raiders. Denver's defense improves, but loss of Shanahan and Cutler means a drop in the standings this year.

Let's let all SD charger fans post their predictions then get kicked in the teeth (25+ years running) again!
Norv is the reason why you must be concerned, got good players but a panzy of a coach.
sorry SD, maybe next year? (where have you heard that before?)

San Diego all the way to the Super Bowl!
Denver? Are you Kidding? McDaniels lost Cutler before the season and replaced him with Orton. I think Orton is better than most people say, but 3 interceptions last night against the 49er's 2nd string defense was ridiculous. Some of you think the Raiders? Haha, never! Al Davis' football knowledge is out of date. Jamarcus will be the starter until Garcia is healthy. Then neither of them will have anyone to throw the ball to and the defense will be eaten alive. Finally, the Chiefs might win 5 games with Cassel as the QB, but that's it.
Phillip Rivers - Pro Bowl while leading the league in TD's
Shawn Merriman - Pro Bowl & Defensive Player of the Year
Chargers - AFC West & Super Bowl Champions

This is the year for the Chargers. I can feel it. Rivers is gonna have an outstanding season and maybe one of the top 3 quarterbacks in the league. All three will be in the AFC...figure that. Brady, Peyton, and Rivers. The Chargers "D" look mean. Might be the best linebacker core in the NFL. Merriman, Phillips, Cooper, English, Burnett, Dobbins, and Tucker. Just hope the DB's will hold tight. With the addition of Cason and with Weddle's play having improved we have a chance to have a decent pass defense. The Chargers really have a good chance to win the division and quite possibly go to the the SB.

This is the beauty of the NFL in this era. The entire AFC West was very mediocre last year. No team currently has dibs on AFC West. The best teams finished a paltry 8-8 last year. Parity will reign once more in this division and remarkably it will be up for grabs the last three weeks. Lets just hope the AFC West can return to one of the premier divisions in the league. I for one am hoping every team in the AFC West has a great season and we actually get to watch a meaningful full season of football. Good luck Chiefs, Chargers, Broncos and Raiders........in that order.

There is only one team that is going to surprise all the doubters, blowhearts, and skeptics. The Denver Broncos are going to be that team. I just can't wait to see the reaction in Vegas. Definately the sleeper team of the season. Preseason means nothing. Just a test.
If this team doesn't surprise, then I'll mail my Orange and Blue underwear to Jay Cutler. At least then someone will be surprised:) JK... Peace!
