Chiefs playoff chances?

Question

okay two weeks left-- chiefs playing oakland in oakland, so it will be a good game-- it always is playin the raiders---- now we r 7-7 and with a win tonight and a win against jacksonville in kansas city, that would make us 9-7... is that gonna get us in the playoffs?

what other teams have to lose for us to get in?

Answer 1

very doubtful for KC. after head to head, tiebreaker is conference record.

jacksonville won't be a problem cuz if we beat them, we'll have that edge.

we lost to Pits and Cincy, so their 9-7 would beat ours.

BUF, TENN, NYJ and DEN would beat us on conference record.

denver will probably beat cincy this week then beat SF, so let's assume denver gets 5th place.

KC would need buff, nyj, tenn, pits, and cin to all end up 8-8.

very unlikely, but stil mathematically possible

Answer 2

The Chiefs are NOT eliminated from playoff contention as I type this.

The Jets, Bengals, Jaguars and Broncos are all 8-6, so they are all situated better than the Chiefs in the current "wild-card spots". If, however, the Chiefs win the last two games, and those other four teams lose ALL their games, the Chiefs would actually be the highest-seeded wild-card team.

Of course, there's no way that's going to happen, especially if any/some of those four have games against each other (In fact, the Broncos do play the Bengals tomorrow).

Also, it's probably not necessary for all those four teams to go 0-2 the last two games, depending on tiebreakers, since the Chiefs are only one game "behind" all them.

I think, realistically, the Chiefs are going to miss the playoffs, but you never know until all the games are over.

Yeah, it's always complicated, way too much for complete analysis here.

Answer 3

seems such as you asked a question, and then went directly to (in part) answer your individual question. enable me assist you to end the photograph. First, on your assertion, the place you state that: "Broncos could desire to lose to Buffalo and Chiefs could desire to win observed via a SD Loss", you skipped over what Oakland's win-loss situations could be, and the way that should impact the Chiefs. The Raiders at the instant are 7-7, and ought to nonetheless finally end up 9-7, meaning that the Raiders may additionally nonetheless take down the branch via triumphing their final 2 video games, regardless of what the Chiefs do. (despite the fact that, despite if the Raiders do win their final 2, they nonetheless want help to win the branch--meaning that different communities could desire to lose video games to verify that the Raiders to be crowned branch champs. The Chargers are additionally now 7-7, and in a similar subject.) precise now, at 8-6, Denver is the only group interior the AFC West that controls their very own destiny (meaning that each and every physique they should do is win their final 2 video games, and then it won't count despite if or no longer the different 3 communities interior the branch lose any video games; in different words, the Broncos can win the branch "with none help" via triumphing their final 2 video games.) At 6-8, the Chiefs are interior the cellar of their branch precise now, and that they want various help via the different communities interior the branch dropping maximum or all of their very final video games, at the same time as the Chiefs win their final 2. If that happens, the Chiefs ought to nonetheless win their branch. so, they have nonetheless have been given a faint pulse--yet they would not after next week's video games. wish this enables.
