With the 2024 NFL regular season around the corner, every team in the league is set to make some tough decisions, cutting down the roster to get 53 men who will start the year with Super Bowl aspirations. 

However, with only so many playoff spots to secure, every team will be fighting to come out of their division as winners, or at least earn a wild card spot. 

FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd gave his predictions for how each division will shake out before training camp began. Using those rankings, here is a breakdown of each team in each division, continuing with the AFC West.

Colin says: "Kansas City until further notice. They’ve won the division eight straight times. Best coach in football, best quarterback. They get it."

The Chiefs are in a different weight class in the division, and they keep punching down on their rivals after winning the division for the eighth straight season last year on their way to back-to-back Super Bowls. 

Everyone will be talking about whether this team can become the first in league history to win three straight Lombardi Trophies, not necessarily if they will win the division because they have been that good.
