Saw a chart published on TwiX showing which teams fans should be rooting for to help their team's playoff chances, and despite Buffalo being one of the teams the Chargers are chasing for a wild card berth, it said Chargers fans should root for Buffalo over KC. I thought that was a bit odd, and then I realized if by some miracle the Chargers win their next four (vs. DEN, @LV, vs. BUF, and @DEN) while the Chiefs do no better than 2-2 (vs. BUF, @NE, vs. LV, vs. CIN) then the week 18 game with the Chiefs visiting LA would actually be for the AFC West title.

The Chiefs would be 10-6 in this scenario (assuming they split their next four) while the Chargers would be 9-7. With a victory over KC, the teams would tie at 10-7 and the first tiebreaker (head to head) would be split. The next tiebreaker would be AFC West record, where the Chargers would be 5-1 if they won out while the Chiefs would be either 4-2 or 3-3 (depending on whether they beat the Raiders at home).
