The Los Angeles Chargers could have their AFC playoff seeding locked in before going to bed Saturday night in Las Vegas.

When it comes to Jim Harbaugh’s plans for playing or resting his starters, he is keeping things close to the vest as usual.

“We’re taking it one day at a time. As (safety) Derwin (James) said, 11 wins sounds better than 10,” Harbaugh said on Monday.

The Chargers (10-6) could have a chance at moving up to the fifth seed and a trip to Houston for the wild-card round if Cincinnati beats Pittsburgh on Saturday night.

If the Steelers win, the Bolts are locked into the sixth seed and a trip to the AFC North champion. That would be Baltimore — and a possible Harbaugh Bowl rematch — if the Ravens beat the Browns on Saturday afternoon.

Harbaugh and the Chargers though will be hoping for a Bengals victory to make Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Raiders meaningful.

“We’re playing to move up,” Harbaugh said. “We’d love to be in the fifth seed. That gives you a chance to have a playoff game at home, even in the divisional round. That’s where things stand for us, the plan for us is to win. That’s been the mindset from the beginning.”

Even though the 49ers had a playoff berth wrapped up going into the final week of the regular season in 2011, ’12 and ’13, when Harbaugh was the coach, there was still something to play for.

The Niners needed a win in 2011 to secure a first-round bye. In 2012, they needed a victory over Arizona to wrap up the NFC West. A year later, it was a win over the Cardinals to keep their division title hopes alive.
