I think they could lose either of them as well but nonetheless they should be favored.  Most likely they need the Titans to lose out, which is very possible with games against the Rams and Jags both of whom will be playing for better seeds.  The Chargers need the Bills to not win out but that is very likely as they go to New England next weekend.  And they could potentially miss out if the Ravens finish the year 1-1... while based on tiebreakers the Ravens going 0-2 or 2-0 would be benefit the chargers.  (a three way tie at 9-7 between LA, Balt, and Buff would kick out the chargers but a two way tie at 9-7 between LA and Buff would favor the chargers).  Ravens should be favorites in both of their remaining games which are playing at home.

So while the Chargers still need a lot of help, it is help that seems kinda likely to happen.  Now watch them blow their chances by losing in the Meadowlands this weekend against the Jets who just gave the Saints a tough game.
