Oakland does have a relatively easy schedule. They have lost a couple of pretty good players, and didn't do too well in the draft, but still, most of the core of this team will be back, and one year isn't really going to add more to the whole "that team is too old" theory. Buchanon will be back at corner, and that dude looks awesome in the first few games before he got hurt. Hopefully KC doesn't turn their defense around and become an NFL juggernaut, but Holmes is coming off of that hip surgery, so they might not be as good offensively, anyways. Denver? San Diego? It seems more likely than not that they could be worse this year. Seau was the core of S.D.'s defense. Jake Plummer is unproven, but could shine in that offense, maybe we'll get a better idea during the preseason.
I took the Raiders to win the AFC west instead. If they win 10 games, they will probably win the division. 9 to 5 odds. Not bad.

havent' been keeping up with the state of the NFL, but these don't look bad to me, would have to research them first, though:
Falcons over 9 1/2 -135
Patriots over 8 1/2 -130
Bengals under 5 1/2 -125? lol
what's more fun than laughing at the Bengals? Winning money off of their incompetence, of course! I have no idea what changes they've made, though.
Bucs over 10 1/2 -150
I see a couple others but they are also around -150.
personally I'm sticking with Raiders AFC West champs as far as futures go, for now.
