Well, it's just not a must win game... sure, at this point every game matters more, but they're still 1 game out of the division and with 7 wins, they have 3 remaining games against the Raiders and Chiefs.
The games @ Indy and @ PHI will be tough... PHI is not dominant and they can be defeated, even at home if Denver plays like they have in their 7 wins.
Denver is at the top of the wildcard list right now... 1 game ahead of PIT, BAL and JAX. Jax isn't playing great and while they lose the tiebreakers to PIT and BAL, there's no guarantee they will win the rest of their games.
BAL and PIT still play each other... so, one will get another loss.
PIT plays OAK / CLE /
GB /
BAL / MIA ... could be 3-2 or 4-1
BAL plays
GB / DET / CHI /
PIT / OAK ... could be 3-2 or 4-1
It's a tight tight battle right now and the margin for error is nearly razor thin, but I don't see either of those teams running the table.
Worst Case, Denver goes 3-2 in my estimation... and with a one game lead, they can probably survive that and still advance.
The Chargers play CLE / DAL / CIN / TEN / WAS ... they won't go 5-0, possibly 3-2 and if things really get crazy, I could see them losing @ Dallas, @ Ten and against the Bengals. It's not impossible to think 2-3 is a reality with the way those teams are playing.
So, it's all still up for grabs.
