In looking at the schedules of the AFC teams in the running for the playoffs, the Chiefs have a chance. Maybe not a good one, but a chance. As long as Oakland doesn't rise up as a power and we can trust victories over San Diego (I'm not sure we can) I can see them making it. They could make it regardless of if they beat Denver this week. I expect them to make the playoffs if they win this week, even though that is a daunting task.
After going through the schedules of AFC teams, it would not surprise me if everything shook out like this:
New England 16-0
Cincinnati 14-2
Indy 8-8
Denver 13-3
---------
WILDCARD
NY Jets 11-5
KC 9-7 (Would have tie breaker in head to head with Pittsburgh)
Pitt 9-7
Buffalo 8-8
Oakland 7-9
Houston 7-9
As it turns out, The Vikings may actually be good. Still, the Bears came could come back to bite us. This team would be in infinitely better shape at 4-4 than 3-5 if they just win that flippin game.
