Wins in bold. Overall, I think it's going to look like a pretty competitive division when it's all over.
KC should be 7-4 headed into the bye and December and then they run the table. Chargers and Raiders should be near 7 with Denver around 6 as they head into the final stretch.
Sure, a few of these games could flip one way or the other - teams are going to win 1-2 they shouldn't win and lose 1-2 they likely shouldn't win, especially Denver and the Chargers - I think they're a bit less stable than KC and the Raiders.
