I think the biggest difference this year is that the AFCW has outstanding coaches.
Reid, Payton, and Harbaugh all have their warts but they're all highly decorated coaches with success all the way up to the Super Bowl level.
I really think we need to appreciate the job Sean Payton is doing with a limited Bo Nix, he's really squeezed everything out of him that he can. Harbaugh is doing the same in LA.
The Chiefs, as always, have the highest upside of the bunch, but they can't simply roll over these teams like they have in the past.
All of this excepts the Raiders, which are just horrendous across the board.
