We know the Las Vegas Raiders’ easiest way to getting to the playoffs is by beating the Los Angeles Chargers at home on Sunday night.
If the Silver and Black win, they’re in the dance. Simple as that.
However, if and when the Raiders qualify for the postseason, the next question will be what seed will they be and where will they play? Well, that’s not that easy to answer. The options are still very varied, as the Associated Press points out here:
I think #Raiders would be the 5 if Bills or Patriots lose. They would have better conference record than Bills and better record vs common opponents vs Pats https://t.co/7Vde8lrgK7

Division ties always broken first, Chargers beat #Raiders but Colts beat Chargers on conference record for 6th and Chargers beat Raiders on head to head for 7th https://t.co/RmZMk1a4BP

Well if Tennessee beats Texans they will get a bye so #Raiders can’t face them in first round but if Chiefs and Raiders win this week they won’t play in 1st round. Would be Cinci or AFC East winner https://t.co/cZ6DYDojEb
