Looking at the last 6 weeks, I have two 5-way ties in the AFC...
5 teams finish 12-4, and 5 teams finish 9-7, and there's only two real upset calls to get there!!
IND goes 3-3 (losing at JAX, to CIN on MNF in a thriller, and to MIA in one of my two upest calls)
BAL loses at CIN and splits with PIT to finish 4-2
The Pats only lose to CHI, winning 5 in a row to hit the playoffs
DEN only loses at SD, beating CIN at home
The Bolts lose their two road games (SEA and BUF, in my other upset), but win out at home
All five would finish 12-4... and that leaves...
KC going 3-3 (losing to DEN, BAL, and SD, winning at CLE, at OAK, and vs JAX)
The Jets beat HOU, GB, MIN and OAK, losing to BUF and at MIA
BUF beats SD (as stated above, an upset call) and only loses at BAL
PIT splits with BAL, and beats CIN and CAR to finish 5-1
CIN wins at IND and beats BAL, but loses to PIT and at DEN
There's five 9-7 AFC teams looking at tie-breaker scenarios for the sixth and final spot. Wow!

Based on your assumptions...:
Chargers win West as they would have swept the Broncos, so automatically, Broncos drop to fifth seed.
After that, it would all come down to conference records, common opponents, and the lovely coin toss were it to go that far. Off the top of my head, likely the Colts get the first seed followed by the Chargers in #2. Ravens and Pats could go either way.
The last set would all be vying for one position. With the Jets winning three of their games versus NFC opponents, I'm guessing they'll be the last of this group. Likely the team on top would either by Cincy or KC...
This is a bit of a cart before the horse scenerio...but possible.

First tiebreaker is standard checklist. Then comes convention checklist, head to head checklist, and checklist against hassle-free fighters. So in the event that they did no longer play one yet another, the team with the greater effective checklist of their convention gets the wild card. as an occasion, right this is the AFC playoff photograph if the season ended immediately: branch Leaders: -Titans 12-a million, 8-a million AFC -Steelers 10-3, 8-a million AFC -Jets 8-5, 6-4 AFC -Broncos 8-5, 5-5 AFC modern-day Wild taking part in cards -Colts 9-4, 8-2 AFC -Ravens 9-4, 7-3 AFC Out by distinctive function of tiebreakers: -Dolphins 8-5, 6-4 AFC -Patriots 8-5, 5-5 AFC complicated, however the Dolphins and Patriots can nevertheless get to the playoffs by winning the AFC East or by ending with a greater effective checklist than the Colts or Ravens.

The first guy said it best...you are getting ahead of yourself. And just how do you think the Chargers will lose to Buffalo? We'll have Shawne Merriman back and he's pretty dangerous when it comes to making tackles and sacks. If we can beat Denver, we can beat Buffalo.....and Seattle :)
I predict that SD will go 14-2 or 13-3.

Too hard to call right now, but chances are you're going to be way off. I agree with the person above me, there's no way the Chargers will lose Merriman's comeback game, even if Merriman wasn't back for that game (which he is), picking the Bills with their 25th ranked rushing defense against L.T. right now is lunacy.

you're getting a little too ahead of yourself there because chances are that what you're saying won't happen although what you're saying is very interesting
