So these are my best choices for this week and wanted to get some input from you guys and many of you might have some info about the game that's not available yet...
I'm leaning more towards Denver as Arizona is going to start a rookie at QB...Anyone have any info about it?
As for the SD, I'm pretty sure Cassel is out but what about SD injuries? Is Garay/Vincent Jackson playing?

My advice is to stay away from Denver like the plague. And this coming from someone who pounded the Rams -3 over the Cardinals last week.
Skelton will start for the Cards and I am telling you, the kid has enormous talent. He has all the tools. Look at how he played in preseason week 1. Came in with 6 minutes left needing to score 14 to win and did it with a perfect passer rating. His highlights on youtube are impressive as hell. He was by far the best QB out of the three that played the Rams last week and the offense looked entirely different with him out there.
The teams who bounced back under interim coahces were much more talented than Denver. At least McDaniels had Orton looking great. Now they are being run by a no name running backs coach with short preparation time. Jason Garret and Leslie Frazier were both strongly considered for head coaching jobs before getting promoted so those guys have pedigree. McDaniels was fired more due to the taping allegations than his record and it is unknown whether his team quit on him ala Dallas and the Vikings or just sucked to begin with. Totally different situations.
I am starting to like the dog more and more in this one, especially with the whole world thrilled to lay -5.5 with shitty Denver on the road coached by a running backs coach just because the class interim coaches of more talented squads got it done. Also you can be damn sure none of them knows one thing abut Skelton except that he is a fifth round rookie and thus in their minds a lock to suck... even though they have never seen him play before.
They are just asking to lose that wager and lose big.
Out of the other two I would elan JAX... think they are playing much better ball than the Raiders, the Raiders are due for a letdown, homefield advantage for the Jags, and I do not trust the QB Campbell for the Raiders one bit.
But with Cassel out for the Chiefs you have a great shot with San Diego too. Probably even better than the Jags but you might need them next week! Rivers does not need Jackson for the passing game to go, he makes it work with just about anyone when he is on his game. My only concern with this one is that the Chiefs run really well and SD just got gashed for 200 last week on the ground.
I would pick JAX.

I would lean Jax. Oakland has lost to every AFC south team this year and Oakland have most of their wins against division foes. Could also have emotional letdown after big win in SD. Denver is so unpredictable they should roll over Arizona but this team scares me. SD should beat Kc without Cassel but division rival games i would try and stay away from.

I agree with the coaching change idea though what's going to really change with the RB coach taking over, not much...The play calling will be taken over by the Off. Coor. which Orton knows well...As for Skelton, agree, there's not much info about him but if it comes to a shoot out with Orton, I would think experience would take over...
I do also like SD knowing that their playing for their season come Sunday...But there were some injuries during the Raiders game with Garay and Castillo...
With Jax, yes they are playing very well and need to keep the lead versus Indy considering they'll be playing them the following week, so having that cushion is important...But you just don't know which Raider team is going to show up thus giving me thoughts...
Thanks for the input BurningPlanet26...

I was considering SD for this week knowing its a must win situation for them but wanted to save them for next week versus SF as that's my best play...SD should be KC and if they do, they should still be motivated to continue to play hard knowing they still have a chance...
AAAGGGGHHHH..........
