Football AFCW: Week 10 - Page 7

Mile High Mania · 11-05-2013, 12:43 PM

It's crazy to me that we're entering week 10... the season takes so long to get here and just like that - we're looking at the second half of games. Thankfully, this year, things are really interesting with the AFC West.

Chiefs 9-0
Broncos 7-1
Chargers 4-4
Raiders 3-5

The Chiefs enter their bye week with a perfect record, thanks in large part to their defense capitalizing on every mistake that the Bills threw at them. The Chiefs are staring at a game in Denver, while waiting to see what happens this week in an all important divisional battle down in San Diego.

Raiders @ Giants -
The 3-5 Raiders travel to the 2-6 Giants in a battle that ... few honestly care about.

The Giants are coming out of their bye week on a 2 game winning streak and they're only 3 games behind the first place Cowboys. Neither team is good enough to trust at this point, but given the timing and the location, give me the Giants in this battle.

Neither team is statistically great in any category really, but with the week off, the Giants will come out focused on narrowing the gap in the NFCE and doing all they can to salvage any hope of a run to the division title. The Raiders will make it interesting, but in the end... they are still the Raiders.
Giants 23 / Raiders 17

Broncos @ Chargers -
And, now the fun one... neither team has a defense that makes you smile. The lone difference between them really is that Denver lost @ the Colts while the Chargers beat the Colts in San Diego, limiting them to 9 points. That's a nice win, but its definitely not a sign of things to come in this game.

Both teams bring firepower on offense. Denver leads in most offensive categories, while the Chargers are right up there in the top rankings.

The Chargers' defense allows about 4 fewer points and gives up about 20 more yards per game than Denver. A big difference here is that Denver is -1 on the giveaway/takeway while San Diego is -7 (compared to +15 for a team like KC).

So, anything is possible in this game, but coming fresh off a bye week and traveling to play a .500 squad that just lost in OT to the Redskins... the Broncos will improve to 8-1.
Broncos 37 / Chargers 27

The Manning brothers walk away with wins this week and Denver sets the stage for an epic battle for first place in Denver vs the Chiefs in week 11.

Flame away and party on.

FTR, Denver better not get to laid back or Phyliss will raise her skirt and have your DB's glued to her crotch.

I'll call it, Sandy Eggo rides the Donks in the ground. ( We will have a 2 game lead when we play you, yes, it should of been a 3 if Dallas had not laid an egg )

Rides 'em into the ground, eh? I think there's a better chance of the KC fan's road trip in the RV to Denver actually happening than Denver being run into the ground at SD.

might want to drink plenty of water today; you could dehydrate quickly if the latter part is true.

Pie Five is pretty good. For those who don't know, it is like a Subway, but for pizza. They make you a little personal pizza where you choose whatever ingredients you want.

Mellow Mushroom started here in Atlanta. It's fantastic.

Congrats...you were perfect in a week where there were only 2 games. Way to make a comeback after completely shitting the bed last week.

Yeah, I had one bad week... 16-8 on the year. This is going to be a fun week.

Division as a whole looked bad today, I thought. Terrible game for Oakland and I didn't think either Denver or SD played particularly well.

I didn't think it was that much different than any other week, honestly. SD looked better later in the game, but they've been helter skelter all year.

Imagine being the Giants now... two games out of first place after 10 weeks. Watch them win the damn NFCE.

We will be in first no matter what happens this week, just as an fyi.

Isn't the first tie breaker head-to-head?

The Division Champions are determined by the best Win-Loss record during regular season. If two clubs have identical regular season records, then the order of tiebreakers is as follows:
Two Club Tiebreakers

1 Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2 Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3 Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4 Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5 Strength of victory.
6 Strength of schedule.
7 Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8 Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9 Best net points in common games.
10 Best net points in all games.
11 Best net touchdowns in all games.
12 Coin toss
