It will come as no surprise to followers of the NFL that the Kansas City Chiefs sit atop of the conference, and hold the number one seed spot, with a 8-0 record, despite not playing their best so far. The Chiefs are looking to three-peat by winning the Super Bowl for the third time in a row, something that has never been done.
The AFC West division is actually quite tight with the Los Angeles Chargers at 5-3, currently the sixth seed, and the Denver Broncos at 5-4 as the seventh seed. Both the Chargers and the Broncos are currently in the playoff picture, if the season ended now.
