It's all about the late season ratings. Couldn't have Pittsburgh going to New Orleans next week in 2nd place. The might have missed the playoffs all together.
Chiefs are going to get raped by the officials next Sunday night....it's the NFLs last chance to gift LAC HFA. It'll be the 4th time this year on a National broadcast that they screw them.
The Ravens better lube up too...NFL is not letting the Chargers lose.
These are your two best bets next weekend....

I get the league wants to drum up support in LA, but I don’t buy a home field assurance for the Chargers. That dinky little stadium hosting two potential games? 1/4 to 1/3 of it is filled by opposing fans.
Rivers is respected, but not entitled to a retirement gift like Manning and Lewis were. A Brees/Rivers Superbowl is a decent storyline, but a shootout in Atlanta between young guns Goff and Mahomes will rock the ratings.
The Rams will get a bye and host a game. That’s enough for the West coast....
The Chiefs season will be foreshadowed next Sunday night.
Chiefs win? I think they go all the way.
Chiefs lose? They go one and done again, and Chiefsplanet melts down in rage.
