12. San Diego Chargers (Lw: 11)
At this point, if the San Diego Chargers fall out of the AFC playoff picture, no one can fault them. After completing a miraculous last-minute comeback in Baltimore in Week 13, the Chargers lost to the visiting Patriots on Sunday Night Football. Work doesn’t get any easier this week, either, as they host the Denver Broncos. And don’t worry, if they survive this game, they will next head to San Francisco, followed by Kansas City. Even though they currently sit in the sixth seed for the AFC playoffs, the Chargers — streaky and inconsistent as they tend to be — are bound to stumble somewhere. If they don’t, it is debatable if any team has better earned its playoff berth.
