Chiefs The Chargers are scary.

**Count Zarth** · 01:20 AM

Screw the Raiders.

Here is what I am concerned about: the Chargers.

Look at their remaining schedule:

Denver, Indianapolis, Oakland, Kansas City, San Francisco, Cincy, Denver.

San Diego's schedule is easy. I can see them losing to Indianapolis and winning the rest of those games.

That would give them a 10-6 record.

If the Chiefs go 5-3 in the second half with losses to San Diego, Seattle and Tennessee, they finish 10-6. I think that's realistic.

So who wins the division?

The Chargers, due to the best W-L-T percentage in common games.

Chargers would be 8-4 in common games if they beat everyone but Indianapolis.

Chiefs would be 7-5 in the scenario I presented.

We're looking at the narrowest of margins for the division. The Chiefs can't afford a ****up in the division from here on out.

I think the Chiefs might have a very slight chance of beating San Diego in San Diego in a month, but it's pretty clear to me right now San Diego is a better football team.

I agree. Although, I think that based on tonight's Bengal game, it could be somewhat difficult for SD.

**Count Zarth** · 11-09-2010, 01:09 AM

San Diego's record against teams we have played or will play: 4-3

Bottom line: St. Louis and Seattle could be big games for us, because San Diego lost to those teams.

This has been my assumption for a few weeks now.

Say what you will about Rivers, but he's an absolute monster, and will keep San Diego in the hunt as long as he has someone with a pulse that can catch a pass.

I think San Diego will probably drop a game they shouldn't, but I unfortunately think the same of the Chiefs. I'm hoping it'll be close down the stretch, but I won't be surprised if the Chargers end up on top of the division again.

So yeah, the Chargers would win the division. Updating the OP.

Crap.

Indeed you did. I think most people wanted to see if San Diego was going to beat Houston and Tennessee, though.

SNR · 11-09-2010, 01:20 AM

We really could have used this game.

Whatever. Figures. San Diego always finds a way to pull the playoffs out of their asses. It's just reality.

**Count Zarth** · 11-09-2010, 01:22 AM

Basically, the game in San Diego is gonna be huge.

Common games is a bullshit tie breaker. We sweep the Chargers we won't have to worry about it.

Yep. If we beat the Chargers, our chances of winning the division are like 97%. If we lose the Charger game, our chances of winning the division are only 52%. That's what makes the NFL so great. So much is riding on every game.

Really shows what having a franchise QB can do for a team...

Yep. They have a bad coach, bad special teams, OK defense...but possibly the best QB in the NFL. Give us that MF'er and we're undefeated right now.
