Expert NFL Predictions: AFC West Win Totals for 2025 Season Revealed
July 8, 2025
As the 2025 NFL season approaches, excitement builds with the Kickoff Game scheduled for September 4, featuring the Dallas Cowboys facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles.
In anticipation of the upcoming season, expert handicapper Jimmie Kaylor has shared his over/under win total predictions for the AFC West teams, following a competitive 2024 season where three teams made the playoffs.
Kaylor predicts that the Denver Broncos, who exceeded expectations last season with a 10-win performance driven by a strong defense and rookie quarterback Bo Nix, will replicate this success in 2025.
The Los Angeles Chargers, under the leadership of coach Jim Harbaugh, are expected to maintain their momentum, aiming for a 10-7 finish bolstered by a talented roster that includes quarterback Justin Herbert.
The Kansas City Chiefs, led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are projected to comfortably surpass 10.5 wins, thanks to significant improvements in their offensive line and receiving corps.
In contrast, the Las Vegas Raiders are in a rebuilding phase under new coach Pete Carroll, and despite key additions like tight end Brock Bowers, Kaylor anticipates they will finish with only six or seven wins.
Kaylor's specific predictions for the AFC West teams include the Denver Broncos over 9.5 wins, Kansas City Chiefs over 10.5 wins, Las Vegas Raiders under 7.5 wins, and Los Angeles Chargers over 9.5 wins.
