The AFC West is an interesting division this season, but after Week 1 it is once again clear that Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are far and away the best team in the division.
Kansas City took care of business in the opening game of the 2020 NFL season against the Houston Texans. The Los Angeles Chargers came through with a win over the Cincinnati Bengals, as did the Las Vegas Raiders with a victory against the Carolina Panthers. As for the Denver Broncos, they fell at the hands of the Tennessee Titans.
While the Chiefs may be the kings of the AFC West, the rest of the division is improving. This is a division to keep a close eye on when it comes to Wild Card playoff positions.
Looking ahead to Week 2 action, the Chiefs are set to take on the Chargers in a divisional matchup. Las Vegas will play a massive game on Monday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints. Finally, the Denver Broncos will play a big game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
All of that being said, let’s take a look at predictions for the outcome of each game in the AFC West.
