Only seven teams in the NFL have records of 7-3 or better here in Week 12, and three of them just happen to reside in the AFC West in Oakland (8-2), Kansas City (7-3), and Denver (7-3).
Starting with Sunday night’s Kansas City at Denver contest, two of those three heavyweights will be playing each other in four of the final six weeks of the 2016 regular season.
Besides Sunday’s matchup, Oakland visits Kansas City in a Thursday night game Dec. 8, Kansas City plays host to Denver on Christmas night, and Oakland rings in the New Year in Denver on Jan.
