Right now the Chiefs are in the #5 slot against, believe it or not, the Indianapolis Colts. Talk about picking at a scab.

Obviously, the Chiefs need to keep winning, but looking at the other wild card contenders, I thought it was interesting that the Chiefs have the first tiebreaker against every team they've played that's in the hunt.
The wildcard contenders are:
#6 - Texans (Chiefs won head to head)
#7 - Jets - no game this year
#8 - Steelers (Chiefs won head to head)
#9 - Raiders - two games coming up
#10 - Bills (Chiefs won head to head)
It seems like we want the Texans to lose the weak South Division to the Colts so we can keep that tiebreaker, though of course I'd prefer the Jaguars to storm back and knock the Colts out. Screw the Colts.
None of the teams in the playoffs right now are out of the Chiefs' league. The Bengals and Patriots probably rightfully own the #1 and #2 seeds, but they're both beatable.
