The Browns' last home game of the season is this weekend, but I believe that they're more likely to win next week in Chicago than at home against the Ravens this week.Cincinnati Bengals at Minnesota Vikings

The Rams have not been good in recent memory, and neither have the Chargers. The Rams have history in LA, but I think 20 years away has cooled that off. The Raiders would probably have been a better candidate for a (successful) LA team, but that didn't happen, and I think the Vegas move can work out for them.
All that is to say that until LA gets a GOOD, Super Bowl contending team, the town won't care.

The Chargers are still in contention for the AFC West title this year if they beat the Chiefs tonight and the Raiders on New Year's Eve.LA is a huge town, and it can DEFINITELY support two NFL teams...if either of them were any good, at least.

AFC Playoff Race:
1(y) New England Patriots 11-3 (Bills & Jets)
2(y) Pittsburgh Steelers 11-3 (Texans & Browns)
3(x) Jacksonville Jaguars 10-4 (49ers and Titans)
4 Kansas City Chiefs 8-6 (Dolphins & Broncos)
5 Tennessee Titans 8-6 (Rams & Jaguars)
6 Buffalo Bills 8-6 (Patriots & Dolphins)
Baltimore Ravens 8-6 (Colts & Bengals)
Los Angeles Chargers 7-7 (Jets & Raiders)
Oakland Raiders 6-8 (Eagles & Chargers)
Miami Dolphins 6-8 (Chiefs & Bills)
I expect the Titans to lose and the Ravens to take their wild card berth.
NFC Playoff Race:
1(z) Philadelphia Eagles 12-2 (Raiders & Cowboys)
2(y) Minnesota Vikings 11-3 (Packers & Bears)
3 Los Angeles Rams 10-4 (Titans & 49ers)
4 New Orleans Saints 10-4 (Falcons & Buccaneers)
5 Carolina Panthers 10-4 (Buccaneers & Falcons)
6 Atlanta Falcons 8-5 (Buccaneers, Saints & Panthers)
Detroit Lions 8-6 (Bengals & Packers)
Seattle Seahawks 8-6 (Cowboys & Cardinals)
Dallas Cowboys 8-6 (Seahawks & Eagles)
Green Bay Packers 7-7 (Vikings & Lions)
I believe that the Lions have a reasonable shot to take the Falcons' wild card berth.

Like I was saying earlier, the Steelers need to play this game on the off chance that they can get home-field advantage. Plus, the game is in Pittsburgh. Plus, the Browns are just bad.
