Poll Results

When polling Raiders fans via Twitter, the overwhelming majority voted the Chiefs as the toughest division opponent, which left very little respect for the defending Super Bowl champions.

Apparently, Raiders fans haven’t forgotten about the almighty butt fumble, which overshadows all six of Mark Sanchez’s postseason road victories with the New York Jets.

Furthermore, the Raiders beat the Broncos in a defensive battle in the previous year.

On the other hand, Kansas City swept Oakland during its 10-game regular season win streak.

Based on rear-view mirror memories, Raiders’ fans view the Chiefs as the team to beat. Will either team snatch the Broncos’ AFC West crown?

We’ll look forward and break down roster changes for the Raiders’ rivals. Do the fans have the correct mindset heading into the upcoming season? Are they missing out on some vital information, which may influence their votes?

We’ll start with the Chargers, who seem to be the least threatening opponent within the division.
