(And wouldn't it be kinda nice to see Philip Rivers join 2004 draft mates Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger on the championship dais?)
Kansas City Chiefs (11-5): Will an overhauled defense jell quickly? Can league MVP Patrick Mahomes possibly approach the mind-boggling production he managed in his first year as a starter? Are the off-field distractions at an end with the NFL choosing not to suspend WR Tyreek Hill? Lots of questions, though K.C. is equipped to provide correct answers between the lines. Early tests as AFC West champs open with three of four on the road.
He also has the Colts beating the Chiefs in the wild card round.
If you ask me, this Nate Davis guy is a real dipshit dumbass!!!!!! [Reply]
I’ve honestly never seen a team own another in their division like we do the Chargers and STILL get disrespected by the national media every single year. [Reply]
It would not be preseason without some idiot proclaiming the Chargers division champs.
3 years in a row now they have picked wrong about the Chiefs- and looks like it will be 4 in row. Chiefs have beat the Charges 9 out of 10 and the NFL had to gift them that win.
Look out- the Chargers are battle-tested this year!!! LOL [Reply]

2. "Are the off-field distractions at an end with the NFL choosing not to suspend WR Tyreek Hill?" No more than any other team's propensity to have off-field distractions, including the golden boy Patriots who CONSTANTLY deal with crap like that (deflated footballs... Tom Brady hates Belichick because that's what his Rasputin health guru told him to do... their #1 WR gets busted for PEDs...)
3. "Lots of questions..." You only asked 3 questions. Is that more questions than the Chargers have? How about, "Can Anthony Lynn outcoach his way out of a wet paper bag?" "Can the Chargers finally take all this supposed talent they have surrounding them and make it work for themselves?" "When compared to the offensive skill positions of the Chiefs, can Rivers overcome the deficiency of high-powered weapons he has, especially at TE?"
4. The Chiefs did 3 of the first 4 on the road last year, too. How'd that turn out for them, again? If I remember, that was also supposed to be a rough start, and their playoff hopes depended on them recovering from that difficult 1-3 start they'd be facing! [Reply]
