Inner Circle--San Diego +
San Diego has a few things to play for in today's game against Kansas City. First, the Chiefs are a division foe having won 10 straight division games. San Diego has other goals, including possibly helping McCoy save his job after posting a 27-38 record during the last four seasons as coach. His players really like playing for him. This also may be the last game in San Diego unless a miracle or common sense intervenes with the Spanos family ownership. Maybe a huge win might make him change his mind about relocating to Los Angeles. We'll find out this week. There have been conversations between the team and San Diego politicians to work out some sort of agreement in recent weeks. Chargers owner Dean Spanos says the team will not make a decision on 2017 until after Sunday's game. Antonio Gates looks to go out in style ending his 14th season. Over his career, Gates has torched the Kansas City defense, grabbing 104 passes for 1,316 yards and 15 touchdowns. No other team has given up more catches, yards and scores to Gates than the Chiefs. Chargers QB Philip Rivers passed for 322 yards and three TDs last week. Take the points. Emotions have won many games.

Pinnacle--Detroit +
This game takes on many different storylines. If Washington loses to NY Giants earlier in the day, Green Bay and Detroit are both in. If GB and Detroit play to a tie, GB and Detroit are both in. If Washington beats the Giants, then it's game on and the loser goes home. So much rides on one particular Packer. If Aaron Rodgers cools off, Green Bay could see its season come to an abrupt end. They have to have him play at the highest level as their rushing attack and defense is sub-par in terms of winning must win games. Rodgers hurts teams by getting out of the pocket, so containing him with disciplined pass rushes is important. For Detroit and for most of the season, Matt Stafford has been Mr. Clutch. In his past seven home games vs. division foes, he has 1,879 passing yards, 13 TDs and three interceptions. The Lions have won their last six home games, rallying in the fourth quarter each time. They have an NFL record eight fourth-quarter comeback victories this season. This team just knows they'll be in this game to the end. For the Lions to win their first division title in 23 years, they’ll have to get make life tough on Rodgers. That means limiting Green Bay’s running game, keeping Rodgers in the pocket and cutting off the big play. The wild card is Ford Field, where the Lions should enjoy a tremendous homefield advantage thanks to the stakes of the game and the electric atmosphere that awaits. That will be just enough to propel the Lions to victory and a home playoff game next week.
