Predicting the AFC West: This One is Easy; KC Owns the West

Kansas City is a perfect example of how a dynamic quarterback can take a team that has some flaws and turn it into a Super Bowl contender as long as he stays healthy. Patrick Mahomes is that type of player and keeping him healthy is priority No. 1. Denver looks like they are improving and have a favorable schedule but they aren’t quite there yet. The Raiders will be competitive but can’t seem to attain the consistency that is needed and you can pretty much say the same thing about the Chargers.

Ranking the Position Groups and Coaches:

Quarterback: 1. Chiefs, 2. Raiders, 3. Chargers, 4. Broncos

Running Backs: 1. Broncos, 2. Raiders, 3. Chiefs, 4. Chargers

Receivers: 1. Chiefs, 2. Chargers, 3. Broncos, 4. Raiders

Offensive Line: 1. Chiefs, 2. Chargers, 3. Broncos, 4. Raiders

Defensive Line: 1. Chargers, 2. Broncos, Raiders, 4. Chiefs

Linebackers: 1. Broncos, 2. Chargers, 3. Raiders, 4. Chiefs

Secondary: 1. Broncos, 2. Chiefs, 3. Chargers, 4. Raiders

Coaching: 1. Chiefs, 2. Raiders, 3. Broncos, 4. Chargers

Kansas City is the team to beat and no one will argue that. They have the most dynamic offense in the NFL and score from anywhere on the field. The other three teams in the division are playing catch-up with them and are hoping to sneak in and get a wild card game.
