Interesting that 538's rating system has all four AFCW teams going 10-7 or better. If that's anywhere near accurate, the division is going to be a dogfight this year.

If they sweep the rest of the AFCW games yes.

I get their basic math as there probably aren't a ton of teams that go 1-2 in a division with a team that goes 3-0, and the 1-2 team overtakes them... and that's just because it's not crazy often that an underdog team happens to have a complete shit schedule while at the same time the biggest contender is facing two (or three) playoff contenders (and maybe one SB contender).
Scheduling quirks makes for poor statistical analysis.... and they could throw in projected SoS with it to maybe help, but probably still tough after 3 games. Makes for some lols later in the season though if the Broncos complete flop. |

I guess it's due to the Broncos' last place schedule. |

Denver may walk out of October with only one win, the WFT

And the Broncos have already played their two last place teams, so I believe the only difference at this point is the Raiders play the Colts later on while the Broncos still have the Ravens... so I guess they're saying all is equal except the Broncos would beat the Ravens and Raiders would drop the Colts? ![]() Yeah, doesn't make sense, even with a small difference. |

Still, you wouldn't think a two-game lead would carry that much weight. Guess we'll see. |

More broadly, I think I may have underestimated the impact that adding a third game that is based on division ranking would have. Maybe it's just because there are so many awful teams these days, but just look at this:
Chiefs - Bills, Titans, and Packers Raiders - Dolphins, Colts, and Bears Chargers - Patriots, Texans, and Vikings Broncos - Jets, Jaguars, and Lions I know that's 100% on purpose, but man, that's a pretty big disparity in quality across those three games. |

at this point I think it'll ultimately come down to being between the Chargers and the Chiefs. I don't trust Gruden enough yet, and Broncos ha ha no. It'll still most likely be the Chiefs winning the div once the Chargers Charger themselves out of winning it.
I see Chiefs finishing first and Broncos finishing last, while both the Raiders and Chargers could finish either second or third depending on what happens, they are too shaky to accurately predict right now. This MNF game coming up will tell us more about the two teams. |

If the Chiefs were 3-0, I probably wouldn't even put a ton of effort in finding their game this week and dealing with any streaming issues (assuming we don't get it here), especially after catching some of MNF last night and with the weather being amazing (they either win easily or it would just be frustrating). .. and I might actually watch MNF this week.
It's definitely elevated my interest some, given the Chiefs' rough start and putting some importance behind these early season games now. |
