1. A game I am breathlessly awaiting.

I have been a Chief's fan for many years; bought season tickets for the new Arrowhead stadium two years before it was built. Unfortunately, my employer transferred me to Florida before I ever got to watch a game there, but I watched many games in old Municipal Stadium, munching Bryant's Barbeque before hand. Watched several Chiefs/Raiders games, and oh boy...

I live in San Diego now and gave up on the Chargers' bad attitude some years ago. If they were a local team with no money to get good talent I would be on board, but big talent and poor performance does not keep me loyal. I would always be a Chiefs fan in any case, but the Chargers have given me nothing to bring me on board.

And this year the Raiders are playing with such enthusiasm and teamwork, with such a cool attitude, overcoming a weak defense (other than Khalil Mack), that I cannot help but be on board with them. I will be happy with whoever wins, I think, favoring the Chiefs a bit, and am just hoping the game lives up to forecast.
