Chargers are the favorites to win the division, no doubt. But I expect Denver to win their home game against SD. And Cutler is better than Rivers.

(disclaimer: Chargers fan bias)

The Chargers I think will take a tiny step back this year from last year offensively, but the defense will remain strong, and i think the broncos are really going to have to pull off a miracle to not lose both conference games to the chargers this year. Not to mention, the chargers have an easier schedule than they did last year. If they do want to top the chargers, they’ll need to win at least one of the head to head’s to have a chance to win in a tie break for the conference. I don’t see them stopping LT at all in either intra-conference matchup. I think LT has already seen his best seasons, even so, barring injury he’ll avg 130+ all purpose yrd/g against the broncos D, and I’d bet that at even money. And I’d bet it at (-120) that one of those games he goes 140+.

I do like the Raiders’ ground game and DBs quite a bit. Nnamdi is the most underrated player in the NFL. Period. But this is a passing league, and Oaktown is still a ways off there.

I’m not just saying this as a Raiders fan, ok maybe I am, but the point is I feel we could easily beat out the Broncos. Fargas and McFadden is a potent 1-2 punch, add Bush, and we can run all over teams. Nobody, nobody is gonna be able to throw on us with DHall, Nnamdi, Huff, GWilson and Morrison, and Derrick Burgess is gonna go sack happy nuts this year. Im not saying we are playoff bound, but we are better than Shannahan’s boys. What do u think???

I am huge on Cutler but I do not think you can underestimate how far this team’s defense has fallen. To weak against the run in this division is a disaster considering the talent of the Rb’s in the division and the philosophies of the coaches. I think Denver is done and will barely finish third. They escaped alot of games last year by the skin of their teeth and now lose Lynch their leader on defense. As always I appreciate how you go out on a limb often but SD>>>>>>>>>DEN. See you sort of tommorrow.
