Chargers Could clinch a playoff birth next week

[98MustGT]

Playoff time is rapidly approaching and the Chargers may have an opportunity to seal up a postseason spot next week.

At the close of Sunday's games, the AFC looks like this:

1. Indy 12-0
2. SD 9-3
3. Cin 9-3
4. NE 7-5
5. Den 8-4
6. Jax 7-5

After that we have Baltimore at 6-5 with a game Monday night against the Packers, Miami at 6-6, The Jets at 6-6, and Pittsburgh at 6-6.

The following scenario could see the Chargers locking up a playoff berth in week 14:


A Baltimore loss tomorrow in Green Bay.
A Pittsburgh loss in Cleveland Thursday night.
A Baltimore loss at home against the Lions.
A Jets loss in Tampa Bay.
A Miami loss in Jacksonville.
A Chargers victory in Dallas.


This would give the Jets, Ravens, Steelers, and Dolphins all seven losses on the year, while the Chargers would have won ten, guaranteeing they finish with no more than six losses, clinching them at least a Wild Card Playoff berth.

Now, I know the team is very much in contention for a #2 seed, and that a Wild Card berth would be a disappointment. I also know that the scenario presented is a pretty unlikely one. Nevertheless, I enjoy watching these type of scenarios, so I put it here for others who also do to have a look at.

There may well be tie-breaker scenarios that put the Chargers in an advantageous position, such as the head-to-head victory over Miami. I didn't omit the Miami game, though it would seem that the Chargers need only one win to finish better than Miami, because Miami could still win their division, potentially leaving the Patriots to contend for a Wild Card berth with the Chargers, and we don't have a head-to-head win there. Also, the Chargers have a decent Conference record (currently 7-3) which could factor into tie-breakers should they occur.
