You have to root for a scenario that assumes you win. And there are no better two scenarios the Chiefs can run into than if the Dolphins win their noon game over the Patriots.
Before you say "No way the Patriots lose to Matt Moore!", keep in mind they are pretty much a lock to host the playoffs throughout, win or lose. (It is very hard to imagine Oakland winning their playoff game)
So assuming Miami beats New England (and the Chiefs take care of business), you wind up with the following seeds with a win at San Diego...
If Oakland beats Denver:
Oakland will be the 1 seed.
Kansas City will be the 5 seed playing at Houston.
Pittsburgh will host Miami.
This means that the Divisional round will most likely be: Pittsburgh at New England and Kansas City at Oakland.
The key part of this scenario is that the Chiefs will only have to beat EITHER New England or Pittsburgh, not both. Oh and also that the only two people holding us back from an AFC Championship would be Tom Savage and Matt McGloin...
If Oakland loses to Denver:
Patriots will be the 1 seed.
Kansas City will be the 2 seed, and will host the Divisional matchup.
Houston will host Oakland, Pittsburgh will host Miami.
This means that the Divisional round will most likely be: Oakland/Houston at New England and Pittsburgh at Kansas City.
If we lose to the Chargers, we of course would have our worst scenario (and be playing at Pittsburgh). But in my opinion, that isn't something we should be considering.
Bottom line: We become Dolphins fans at noon Sunday!

If Miami wins we are better off with Oakland winning and avoiding NE or Pitt until the AFCCG.
