Football AFCW: Week 11 - Page 3

Mile High Mania · 11-15-2017, 02:17 PM

Here we go, back by popular demand and a special request by TEX

… it’s Mile High Mania’s breakdown of the Week 11 action. Simply put, the Chiefs are riding high with a 2 game divisional lead and tied with 3 other teams for 3rd in the AFC. After a month, this division looked like one of the toughest in football… but since then, only the Chargers have a winning record in the last 5 games (3-2). Raiders and Chiefs have both lost 3 of their last 5, while Denver is padding the cellar walls with 5 straight losses.

The matchups this week look great for the Chiefs and barring anything weird happening, should walk away with a 3 game lead over the division with six games left to play.

Chiefs (6-3) @ Giants (1-8): Defensively, the Chiefs have issues, but thankfully they have the Giants on the road. This should be an easy win for them, think 17 point margin. The Giants have given up 82 points in the last 2 weeks to the Rams and 49ers. Eli looks like a steaming pile and they have no real playmakers thanks to injury. Smith only has one INT on the season, so all they have to do is get up early and play it safe to the vest. Chiefs 34 / Giants 13

Bills (5-4) @ Chargers (3-6): This should probably be the best game of the week among the four, but BUF just benched Taylor and some guy named Nathan Peterman gets his first start after throwing 10 passes and a TD last week. The Chargers are a mystery and while they should do well, never underestimate their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Rivers has looked good this week and both defenses are going to give the offenses a tough time. Look for the Chargers to grind this one out though, winning late. Chargers 20 / Bills 17

Patriots (7-2) @ Raiders (4-5): Raiders won 2, lost 4 and have alternated the last 3 games with wins and losses. Coming out of their bye, they get a Patriots team that looks nothing like the team that struggled the first few weeks. This might look interesting through two quarters, but in the end… it’s Tom Brady. Patriots 31 / Raiders 24

Bengals (3-6) @ Broncos (3-6): Ahhh yes. Battle of 3-6 behemoths and the loser likely moves into the #5 draft slot for 2018. The game is in Denver, but I’m not sure this matters right now. These two teams have combined for 2 wins in the last 10 games, all Bengals. Bengals have lost 4 of their 5 road games and this will be their 3rd straight road game, having lost to the Jags and Titans in recent weeks. Again, maybe this doesn’t matter – Denver has given up 92 points (take that Giants) in the last two games vs the Eagles and Patriots. But, the Bengals are not either of those teams. This is going to be a battle of who sucks less… and through that lens, nod goes to Denver. Broncos 20 / Bengals 17

And, there you have it … the division goes 3-1 this week, with the Raiders owning the lone loss.

AFC West goes 1-3.

Chiefs Lose - Because Chiefs... KC _efense is so bad, Manning has all day to throw. ANY QB can beat you when he has all day, and Manning will have all day. The Giants run game, missing all year, shows up as well.

Raiders Lose - They're playing the Patriots. The end.

Chargers Lose - No Rivers, so...

Donx Win - The Natti is BAD, so are the Donx, but the Donx are at home so they'll win.

New York Giants lead series 10-3-0 and the Chiefs have never beaten the Giants in New York/Jersey.

I said it earlier this week, on paper we should destroy this team but my gut says it will be a nail biter.

Really wish i was wrong here. JFC this team

Looks like loochy and myself took this one.

The AFC West is 6-14 over the past five games. Pretty pathetic.

KC, 2-4 last 6 (was once the last undefeated team)
OAK, 2-4 last 6 (never really been on track this season)
Broncos, 0-6 last 6 (last win was on 10/1)
