Haven't thought much about them because there are two wild card spots. Was assuming they will not lose another game this year and so therefore would get a spot, while we got the other one.
We cannot beat them in any tiebreaker scenario owing to their victory over us. And unfortunately none of the scenarios where we end up with multiple teams with the same record eliminate the Chiefs before tiebreakers have to be applied between them and us.
So we cannot beat them out for a higher seed or get a spot over them if we end up with the same record.
Interestingly, as pointed out, the division is still up for grabs. We can get it if the Bengals lose to Denver and Baltimore and we win out (the Bungles' game against the Niners is meaningless to us). We can even get a #2 seed but that would entail one more Chiefs' loss and Denver losing to San Diego in the finale (as well as us, of course). Highly unlikely.
