AFC West Preview: Is the addition of Peyton a deal breaker for the Chargers?

Found September 06, 2012 on Guys Girl:
TEAMS: Denver Broncos,  San Diego Chargers,  Kansas City Chiefs

Predicated Finish:

San Diego Chargers (9-7) (4th seed:  loss in first round)
Oakland Raider (7-9)
Denver Broncos (7-9)
Kansas City Chiefs (7-9)

Depending on your definition, this is the NFL’s worst conference, inasmuch as there is not one legitimate playoff team in the mix.  I have San Diego winning it by default, but that has a lot more to do with the schedule than with my belief in the Chargers’ superiority.
