The Kansas City Chiefs are in the postseason, but there is some seeding at stake in their Week 17 game against the Oakland Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium.

Because of the loss by the New York Jets to the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City can’t drop below the fifth seed in the AFC playoff picture. The Chiefs can move up, though, should the Denver Broncos lose to the San Diego Chargers at Sports Authority Field.

Kansas City is without a pair of important defensive players on Sunday with both outside linebacker Justin Houston and safety Husain Abdullah listed as inactive. Meanwhile, outside linebacker Tamba Hali is back in the game after breaking his thumb in Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens.

So, would you rather win this game and take the AFC West should the Broncos slip up, getting to host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Wild Card round, or would you rather stay in the No. 5 seed and take on the Houston Texans on the road?
