Yeah, I agree that the AFC West is looking like the weakest of the four divisions and that the AFC South looks like the best. Indy is still sitting pretty nicely though having already won two division road games. The Wild Card spots in the AFC are coming from either the North or the South this year. I think the East is really weak outside of New England but they do have the powerhouse Pats whereas the other teams in the West in my opinion aren't as bad as the teams in the East..but no one is anywhere near the Patriots type of thing. AFC West is probably a closer division than many gave it credit for.
