Chargers hope to make it a black Sunday in Oakland

Week 17 features nothing but divisional matchups, meaning some teams will have the chance to play spoiler by crushing the playoff hopes of their heated rivals.

The San Diego Chargers can end a disappointing season on a positive note in Oakland on Sunday by ousting the Raiders from playoff contention.

In Cincinnati, the Baltimore Ravens can clinch the AFC North and possibly derail the upstart Bengals.

The Tennessee Titans are looking to sneak into the playoffs by toppling the AFC South champion Texans in Houston.

Finally, no playoff berths are at stake in Glendale, but the Seahawks would like to put an exclamation point on their "wait 'til next year" message by cooling off the red-hot Cardinals in the Arizona desert.

The Chargers, Ravens, Titans and Seahawks are in good position this week to get difficult road victories based on matchups, injuries, history and other circumstances.
