After going 5-12 and finishing last in the AFC West last season, the Los Angeles Chargers have done a complete 180 as a franchise. The new regime of Joe Hortiz and Jim Harbaugh turned the Chargers into winners 10 games into their tenure.
Heading into Week 12, the Chargers are 7-3 and currently own the fifth seed in the AFC. Their opponent this week is the Baltimore Ravens, who sit at 7-4 and just behind the Chargers in sixth place. According to The Athletic’s playoff projectionsthe Chargers currently have a slightly lower chance of making the playoffs than the Ravens, despite their better record.
And if the playoffs started today, the Chargers would face the Houston Texans of the AFC South.
The Chargers have a 91 percent chance of reaching the playoffs, with the Ravens having a 94 percent chance. Both are expected to finish with an 11-6 record, meaning their Monday night meeting could be a tiebreaker in the standings if those predictions hold true.
This will be a fun game to watch, with potential playoff implications down the line.
