No one can afford to lose

All three teams have to play their best football these last four weeks of the season if they want a shot in the playoffs, let alone winning the division. The Raiders have the hardest schedule going forward but the Chiefs have failed to beat even the worst teams in the league in this embarrassing stretch of games. The Chargers are on a streak and with the looks of their schedule have no reason to look back.

If the Chargers win, the loser of the Chiefs and Raiders game automatically finds themselves in third place making it very hard and out of their hands to make the playoffs. Every one of these teams has only two wins inside the division making the tiebreaker up in the air at this point as well. The Chiefs hold the tiebreaker as of right now with a 2-1 record in the AFC West, they can find themselves relying on other teams for a shot at the playoffs.

Either way, all three teams will have their fans on the edge of their seats hoping to stay afloat in this race for the division and route to the playoffs.
