2018 AFC West Division Predictions and Odds to Win

1. LA Chargers(+175 odds to win AFC West at Bovada) – The Chargers had a solid season last year as they finished 9-7 overall for 1st year head coach Anthony Lynn. The Chargers finished strong winning 6 of their final 7 games and just missed out on the playoffs. The expectations are high this season for the Chargers and they have a talented roster on both sides of the ball that is capable making some noise in the playoffs. Veteran quarterback Philip Rivers is back to run the offense and he’s coming off of a strong season that saw him throw for 4515 yards and 28 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions last season. Defensively, the Chargers finished 15th in total defense last year but we look for them to possibly crack the top 10 this season.

2. Kansas City Chiefs(+300 odds to win AFC West at Bovada) – Head coach Andy Reid enters his 6th season as the Chiefs head coach and has a record of 53-27 so far. However, the Chiefs have failed to carry over their regular season success into the playoffs under Reid and he finally had enough of quarterback Alex Smith and traded him off to the Washington Redskins. The trade cleared the path for 2nd year quarterback Patrick Mahomes to take control of the offense and the youngster with a powerful arm has the skills to take the Chiefs far of he lives up to expectations. The Chiefs offense has the potential to be one of the best in the NFL but the defense is another story. The unit finished 28th in total defense last year and gets back some key players including safety Eric Berry but will have to makeup for the losses of key veterans like cornerback Marcus Peters who was traded to the LA Rams.

3. Oakland Raiders(+305 odds to win AFC West at Bovada) – New head coach Jon Gruden returns to his old stomping grounds and has brought back the excitement in Raider nation. Gruden inherits some talent especially in all-pro linebacker Khalil Mack who is the best in the business in our opinion. Offensively, Gruden will need to work with Derek Carr to get him back to the player he was in 2016 when he was a MVP frontrunner before his leg injury. Carr struggled last season and needs to rebound this year if the Raiders are going to challenge for the AFC West title and a playoff bid. The Raiders finished 17th in the NFL in total offense and 23rd in total defense last season so they have work to do on both sides of the ball if they want to turn their 6-10 record last season around. Expect improvement but don’t get expect a playoff bid as Gruden has too many holes to plug on both sides of the ball.

4. Denver Broncos(+435 odds to win AFC West at Bovada) – The Broncos finished a dismal 5-11 last season under first year head coach Vance Joseph and we are not optimistic for much improvement this season at all. The Broncos decided that quarterback Case Kennum wasn’t a flash in the pan for the Minnesota Vikings last season and signed him in free agency to lead their offense. We don’t see it as we feel Keenum is nothing more then a glorified backup or a bottom half of the league starter at best. Add that to the fact that the Broncos no longer have the dominating defense that they relied on for the last few years and it all leads into another sub .500 season at Mile High and we expect Joseph to get canned when the season is all said and done. The Broncos will stink again in 2018. Book it.
