I don't know much about the Chiefs. The Broncos are improved but might be on the field more than they're used to if Orton is under center.
As for the Raiders (the team I'm most familiar with) - I think they have a lot of nice pieces, but that doesn't translate to great defense. The d-line is questionable. I like the LB-core. I think the secondary is going to be very good outside of the obvious (Asomough). Last year the secondary's big problem was run support, especially from their contact-fearing safeties. This year, hopefully, that will have been addressed.
My hope is 8-8. That division is pretty weak outside of San Diego... but frankly, the Chargers have been disappointing for years, so who knows.
