They have been the class of the AFC West for almost a decade and aren\u2019t showing any signs of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
slowing down. The Kansas City Chiefs are once again favorites to win the division and are<\/p>\n\n\n\n
chasing their ninth straight AFC West crown. But the price is shorter than previous years, so is<\/p>\n\n\n\n
there a chance for an upset in the division? We\u2019ll break these four teams down to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kansas City Chiefs -250<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Chiefs are the class of the division, conference and the league and are the two-time<\/p>\n\n\n\n defending Super Bowl Champions. But is there a chance they take a step back? Travis Kelce<\/p>\n\n\n\n turns 35 in October, rookie Kingsley Suamataia is the starting left tackle, and Rashee Rice could<\/p>\n\n\n\n miss games due to off field legal issues. But KC did add explosive rookie receiver Xavier<\/p>\n\n\n\n Worthy. Chris Jones leads a defense that was fabulous last season ranking seventh overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s something to consider though. The Chiefs start the season against Baltimore, Cincinnati,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Atlanta and the Chargers and have some difficult road games in San Fran, Buffalo, and then<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cleveland and Pittsburgh in December. They should still be a force in the playoffs, but winning<\/p>\n\n\n\n the AFC West again, isn\u2019t a guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los Angeles Chargers +325<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Is this the year the Chargers finally put it together under new head coach Jim Harbaugh? For<\/p>\n\n\n\n the past two seasons, L.A. has been competitive but poor coaching decisions by Brandon<\/p>\n\n\n\n Staley cost them games. Justin Herbert will have a new playbook and better protection as the<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chargers added Joe Alt to the offensive line. Wideout rookie Ladd McConkey could also<\/p>\n\n\n\n become a big weapon for Herbert as the team revamps the offense after losing Keenan Allen,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler in the offseason. Defensive coordinatorJesse Minter joins<\/p>\n\n\n\n Harbaugh from Michigan and should have a more dynamic style this season. If the Chiefs take a<\/p>\n\n\n\n step back, the Chargers have a great opportunity to take this division and at a juicy price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Las Vegas Raiders +1000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n New head coach Antonio Pierce finished with a 5-4 record and had his team playing competitive<\/p>\n\n\n\n ball. But does he have the horses to overtake KC and LA? The Raiders will likely have<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gardner Minshew as their starter, and Aidan O\u2019Connell as the back-up. Not many teams will be<\/p>\n\n\n\n afraid of that duo. But they do have star wideout Davante Adams, underrated Jakobi Meyers<\/p>\n\n\n\n and rookie Brock Bowers. Las Vegas defense, led by Maxx Crosby kept them in games last<\/p>\n\n\n\n season but the Raiders will have the 9th toughest schedule in 2024, a challenge that will be too<\/p>\n\n\n\n difficult to overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Denver Broncos +1400<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Broncos are in a rebuilding season considering they\u2019ve moved on from Russell Wilson and<\/p>\n\n\n\n drafted rookie Bo Nix. Head coach Sean Payton can now sort out his roster but there are major<\/p>\n\n\n\n concerns especially with the offensive line. Center Lloyd Cushenberry left for Tennessee, there<\/p>\n\n\n\n is a lack of depth at running back as Javonte Williams returns but can he carry the load to help<\/p>\n\n\n\n in Nix\u2019s first season? Denver\u2019s regular season wins line is set at 5.5, so that tells you everything<\/p>\n\n\n\n you need to know about their chances of winning this division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AFC West Division Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kansas City Chiefs -250<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los Angeles Chargers +325<\/p>\n\n\n\n Las Vegas Raiders +1000 They have been the class of the AFC West for almost a decade and aren\u2019t showing any signs of slowing…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":13270,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[146],"class_list":["post-25174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-nfl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
