Pro Football: AFC Update

The (5-1) Denver Broncos host the (5-2) San Diego Chargers in this week’s Thursday night game. Unless there is a very unlikely tie in the game, the winner will lead in the AFC West.

The (5-2) Indianapolis Colts are going places (a cynic would rehash their cold hearted move from Baltimore to Indy in the middle of the night 30 plus years ago) as they have won and covered the spread in 5 straight games. They are beyond prohibitive favorites to win the AFC South and a viable threat to make, or even win, the Super Bowl.

The New England Patriots escaped with a 2 point win vs the (1-6) New York Jets and are still big favorites to win the AFC East.

Suddenly the (5-2) Baltimore Ravens are in first place in the AFC North. The (3-2-1) Cincinnati Bengals have been awful since their (3-0) start. The Bengals host the Ravens this week.
