AFC West

Kansas City Chiefs 6-4

The Chiefs could deal fatal blows to the Chargers and Raiders playoff hopes with victories in the next two weeks. They will then get the Patriots. Kansas City probably needs to win out if it wants a bye in the playoffs.

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

Oakland Raiders 5-4

Remaining Games: Bengals, @Jets, @Chiefs, Titans, Jaguars, @Chargers, Broncos

The Raiders could realistically — and should be — 7-4 coming into their game against the Chiefs in Kansas City. No one thought they would be where they are right now. Even if the Raiders were to lose that game and drop to 7-5 a 2-2 record in their final four games could put them in position for a wild card.
