I'm scratching my head over that. The Chiefs had a higher margin of victory, scored more points, and both games were within the conference. I guess right now their strength of schedule is the same, though, come on, Titans and Patriots.
Looking at the tiebreakers, maybe the Raiders have a higher combined ranking of offense and defense? Or maybe they have a higher net touchdowns? If not one of those, then the Raiders won a coin toss.
On that note, the coin toss is a terrible final tiebreaker. Each team should put three players on opposite goal lines, have a ball on the 50, and whoever crosses the other goal line first wins. No other rules.
