AFC West

Kansas City Chiefs 8-4

The Chiefs have a commanding two-game lead over the Raiders in the AFC West. Oakland proved it wasn’t a threat this past weekend. Kansas City will not try and run the table to get to 12-4 which could still get a bye — since they would have the tiebreaker over New England in that scenario.

Remaining Schedule: @Patriots, Broncos, @Bears, Chargers

Oakland Raiders 6-6

If the Raiders can beat the Titans in Oakland this weekend, they have a legitimate shot at finishing the season 10-6 which should be good enough for a wild card in the AFC. They are trending in the wrong direction though.

Remaining Games:  Titans, Jaguars, @Chargers, Broncos
