Denver / Hou should be a good game. I'll give the edge to Den mostly because they're at home. Houston has won 5 in a row, mostly against sub par competition, which Denver is, BUT they are always a threat in the altitude at Mile High. Plus, Houston is due to lose. Course, I wouldn't mind if Hou wins. 
KC / Clev will probably go like you said. Injuries are starting to mount on the KC side, which does cause concern. But the OL handled Denver "ok" so they have been tested. KC is a good road team and I think they will be too much for Clev in the end, but we have not had a "Because Chiefs" moment this season - perhaps that's due to the Mahomes Effect. But their QB can cause bad shit to happen too, and so can the Chiefs _efense, which is a concern. |
Yeah, LAC/SEA ... two teams with lots of good options, but neither is truly dominant. Location gives the edge to SEA.
Similar in HOU. Yes, HOU has the better record.
IND/DAL/BUF/JAX/MIA - those are the 5 wins, 2 on the road - shootout @ IND. Miami being the only team @ .500 right now.
HOU lost to NEP, TEN and the Giants.
DEN has lost to KCX2, NYJ, BAL, LAR
Two losses to 7-1 KC (3 and 7 point margins), one loss to 8-0 LAR (3 point margin)... the Ravens are 4-4 and the Jets gutted them and are 3 wins.
Denver has by far played the tougher schedule compared to HOU, it's not even close.
So, it's not jumping the shark to say Denver will win and it's really not based on geography alone.
