Either Denver or KC is grabbing the west and the other is taking the 5th seed.
But for the 6th seed 9 wins may be enough. Right now the teams in the chase look to be The Chargers, who still have 4 games against Denver and KC as well as us, The Jets who we still play twice, and the Ravens who are currently under .500.
That means if we can beat the Jets and the Chargers. There is a good chance we can see the play offs with only 8 or 9 wins.
