ESPN.com’s NFL Power Rankings heading into Week 1 were released Tuesday.
Here are my thoughts on how the AFC West teams fared in the rankings:
San Diego Chargers
Power Ranking: 8
My Power Ranking range: 5-8
Why: The Chargers showed in the preseason that they are well oiled and ready to be a contender again regardless if Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill are holding out.
Denver Broncos
Power Ranking: 22
My Power Ranking range: 25-28
Why: I think this ranking may be just a tad high. But it’s not a terrible spot.
Oakland Raiders
Power Ranking: 24
My Power Ranking range: 24-26
Why: The Raiders are right where they should be heading into the season. If they start winning, they can make a pretty good march up the rankings.
Kansas City Chiefs
Power Ranking: 27
My Power Ranking range: 25-28
Why: Can’t complain with this spot, either. The Chiefs have some proving to do.
