This comes from the "Hey, let's get way ahead of ourselves now.." department, but since you asked. If we win the next three, and the Broncos lose the next three (including the Division game against the Raiders, then at Pittsburgh, and home against Cinci), then aren't we playing for the Division title in Week 17, hoping for some Charger magic against the Broncos in the late game? This week's Raiders game is the key to this consideration.
