Obviously, a lot can still happen between now and the start of the regular season, but through the moves made so far, we have a good grasp of how each team will look when training camp rolls around.

Denver is the outright favorite to win the divison, as they will always be so long as Peyton Manning is under center for them. Kansas City and San Diego should be able to give them a run for their money, much like last season. Oakland could be a dark horse, no joke. If Schaub can provide stability and they can get McFadden and MJD to be a great running duo, watch out! Oakland could be a force to be reckoned with.
