Which teams in the playoffs or trying to get into the playoffs ...

Have incentive to actually play and not rest players this coming weekends final season games. I know KC will probably rest players and Det/Minn will play all. Who else do you think? This will tell me which games to stay away from. Thanks. GL

Chargers have to want to avoid Baltimore and play Houston. If the Steelers win, they have every incentive to beat the Raiders.

Hard to tell. Some teams don't care about seeding that are already in and i don't believe teams try to win or lose to avoid a certain team. I stay clear of the final week

You know for sure TB will not let their foot off the gas since they are win and in. I know DEN in a similar situation, but since it’s the Chiefs more worried about them covering, although you’d expect them to win.

We get a new element with KC since Andy said Wentz will most likely not be back next year. Guy will be auditioning.
