Mid-Season Predictions

Well here we are 4-4, and in a three way tie for first place in the west. All in all, I guess about the best thing I can say is that it's been a freaky 8 weeks. With the exception of Denver (who I think are far more lucky than good), the entire division is as volatile as we are. With that said, in looking at the remaining schedule for the division, my best guess of the remaining week outcomes are as follows:

Week 10
SD over OAK
KC over DEN

Week 11
OAK over MIN
CHI over SD
NE over KC
NYJ over DEN

Week 12
CHI over OAK
SD over DEN
PIT over KC

Week 13
OAK over MIA
CHI over KC
MIN over DEN
SD over JAC

Week 14
GB over OAK
NYJ over KC
CHI over DEN
BUF over SD

Week 15
GB over KC
DET over OAK
NE over DEN
BAL over SD

Week 16
BUF over DEN
OAK over KC
DET over SD

Week 17
KC over DEN
OAK over SD

If these projections are correct (fingers crossed), Oakland finishes 8-8, San Diego 7-9, KC 6-10, Denver 3-13. This is really contingent on us splitting with San Diego, but I think this is a possibility. I think they take us this weekend, but with Carson getting stronger and hopefully getting DMC back, we should be trending up. I think that week 17 will be the showdown to go to the playoffs, and with some luck we can pull that out.
