If the NFL playoffs began today, the Baltimore Ravens (8-6 SU, 7-7 ATS) and Los Angeles Chargers (11-3 SU, 8-6 ATS) would make it in. But both teams will have plenty to play for when they meet this Saturday at the StubHub Center – especially the Ravens. Kick-off is at 8:20 PM ET on the NFL Network; odds are pending at press time.
The Chargers have already clinched a playoff spot in the AFC, thanks to their 29-28 comeback victory over the Kansas City Chiefs (–4 at home) in Week 15. However, the 11-3 Chiefs still hold the tiebreaker in the AFC West, so Los Angeles may have to settle for a Wild Card if they don’t come through on Saturday. A win, on the other hand, could put the Chargers on top of both the division and the conference.
Losing this game would be even worse for Baltimore. Thanks to tiebreakers, the Ravens hold down the second and final Wild Card berth in the AFC, but there are two other teams lurking at 8-6: the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans. The 7-7 Miami Dolphins and 6-7-1 Cleveland Browns are also still in the hunt heading into Week 16.
