The biggest argument I hear against the Denver Broncos winning the AFC West is their schedule. There’s no doubt that it is tough but so are the schedules for the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers. Sorry Oakland Raiders’ fans, you don’t have a chance of winning this division.
The schedules are basically the same with the exception of two teams. The Broncos have a first place schedule so they have to play at the New England Patriots and host the Houston Texans. Kansas City, for example, does not have to play New England but they do have to go to the Buffalo Bills. If anyone thinks that’s an automatic win for the Chiefs, they are dreaming. The Bills are going to be very good on defense and have some weapons on offense. The five game stretch to start the season for the Chiefs is as difficult as any five game stretch in the league. I’m not saying they are going to go 0-5 but they could lose any of those games.
The Chargers, instead of playing the Patriots, play at the New York Jets in late December. I know the Jets are the butt of every joke right now but that’s a west coast team going back east for a cold weather game. The Chargers historically struggle in that spot. All three teams have to play the NFC South and the AFC North. Both of those divisions have quality teams and will provide difficult opposition for the Broncos, Chiefs and Chargers.
I’m not here to make predictions yet, I’ll do that when we get closer to the season. My only point today is that using the Denver Broncos schedule as a reason for them not winning the AFC West is fair, but it has to apply to the other teams as well. The schedules for every team in the division are difficult and as always, it will come down to those divisional contests.
