It will sting even more in January... when that team gets their asses handed to them by the Chargers.
"Fifth or sixth best team...? LOL! That's either ignorance or jealousy.

Chiefs, Bengals, Bills, Dolphins, Jags (beat us twice), Ravens. If the Jets sign Rodgers, add them to the list. What's so 'ignorant' or 'jealous' about that? I'd put us - at best - on par with those last four teams I named. And we're clearly behind - by a wide margin - the first three. So, at best, 4th in the AFC. And a case could easily be made - to anyone but a Pollyanna - that we're 5th or 6th.

We HAD tied for the 4th best record in conference last year. That's an inarguable fact.
If you want to argue who used to be better, blah, blah, blah when we were injured, blah, blah , blah. Still the old days.
Will be better IF? Sure! We win the SB IF!!

LOL! Everyone saw us outplay the Chiefs in Week 2 (even without KA). Then they barely squeaked by us with even more players out due to injury.
We crushed the Dolphins. Jags got lucky as the OC shut it down early. Bengals barely got out of their mediocre division with losses to Steelers, Browns, and Ravens. Bills got steam-rolled by the afore-mentioned Bengals. I'm un-impressed. We can beat anyone of those teams. On paper, only the Chiefs and Bills are as stocked as we are.

I'll take the over... Smokey will take the under... Maybe an avatar bet is in order...?

And Jax, Jets, and Dolphins - three of the teams I listed in my post before I saw this Vegas list - all being predicted to have the same number of wins.

You skipped the over/ under. LAC is favored over those teams.
