I doubt it. The Chargers have four of the next five games at home.. and than they end the season with two road games against last place teams.

The Raiders have road games against Pittsburgh and Indy in two of their next three - and there is only one remaining game on their schedule where they figure to be a favorite by 3 points or more.

I wish they had MVP betting right now - Rivers has shredded every defense so far - and the road for him and his team look easy the rest of the way. Lots of games where they will be clear favorites - and lots of sub par defenses yet to come.

He'll get all the credit if they win the division.

No offense, but you're not exactly Adam Shefter when it comes to football. The Chargers are playing better, but that horrific special teams play is going to continue to play. Not to mention they have a straight mush for a coach.

Chargers have Denver this Monday, albeit at home but as we have seen anyone can win these division games. Denver just crushed KC. Then they have Indy on the road and division games agaist Oakland and KC. San Francisco at home, which is a dangerous team as they have been playing better. Then Cincy and Denver on the road. They can absolutely lose both of those games.

I called Oakland the winner of that division weeks ago and I'm sticking to it. So far so good.

I'm a points scored/points allowed guy and not a yards guy - but - they have the #1 ranked offense in the NFL in terms of yards gained and #2 ranked defense in the NFL in terms of fewest yards allowed.

Basically - an NFL team should eventually be able to figure out how to not allow punts to get blocked.

Besides a mush coach - they are the dumbest team ever. That Jacob Hester player from LSU ... I haven't played a Madden game in like five years - but his awareness rating should be like a -6. Hard to believe a scrappy white guy has stood out to me as the single dumbest player I've watched play all year.

I don't know - they'll be favored in all but one remaining game. The odds are on their side.

They've been favored in their first 9 games and are 3-6. Them being favored hasn't meant much so far. They are a full two games out of first in that division. I'll take my chances with Oakland.

Thought he was Devin Hester's brother.
