Chiefs Why are so many national writers so high on the Chargers?

They were a kicker away from being good last year. I think they will make the playoffs for sure.

If you need a kicker to be "good," you're not good enough.

I do feel they are overhyped a bit but make no mistake, the Chargers are a strong team.

I must say I am a bit baffled to see so many analysts crowning them as AFC West champions to be.

I can somewhat understand because of the fact that Mahomes is unproven but if he is even close to the hype, I think the Chiefs are the better team.

The Raiders have a chance too.

the whole division is pretty wide open, according to the actual odds...

theres not even a real clear favorite with the chargers having about a 33% chance and the raiders maybe around 28% and the donks 25% and us even just taking the scraps leaves us with a decent shot at it

anyone who is 'crowning them champs' does not understand math...they are VERY slight favorites in a tough , wildly close division

Sure but I don't think it was a matter of kicker last year at the end of the season when the playoffs were on the line and the Chiefs kicked their butt, once more.
