    Here is some help for you guys

    2. Colts(11-2)
    3. Steelers(9-4)
    4. Chargers(8-5)
    -----------------
    5. Jaguars(9-4)
    6. Browns(8-5)
    -----------------
    7. Bills(7-6)
    8. Titans(7-6)
    9. Broncos(6-7)
    10.Texans(6-7)

    Done: Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals, Raiders, Jets, Dolphins.

    Here are our wildcard competition and remaing schedules:

    -Jaguars(9-4)
    @Pit
    Oak
    @Hou

    -Browns(8-5)
    Buf
    @Cin
    SF

    -Bills(7-6)
    @Cle
    NYG
    @Phi

    -Titans(7-6)
    @KC
    Jets
    @Ind

    -Broncos(6-7)
    @Hou
    @SD
    MIn

    -Texans(6-7)
    Den
    @Ind

    And here are the tie-breakers:

    Jaguars: We get the tie-breaker if we either beat the Colts or the Jags lose to the Texans. If neither happens, we can't tie them.

    Browns:
    *Conference Record: Browns 6-4, Titans 4-5.
    -If we win out and they lose to either the Bills or Bengals then it would be tied.
    -If we win out and they only lose the 49ers then they get it.
    -If we win only two and they lose to both the Bills and Bengals then it is tied
    -If we win only two and they lose the 49ers and the Bills or Bengals, they get it.
    -If we win only 1, and they lose all 3, they get it. If tied after this:
    *Common Games: Titans 3-1, Browns 3-1
    -We beat the Jets and they lose to the Bengals, then we get it.
    -We lose to the Jets and they beat the Bengals, then they get it.
    -We both lose or win, it's tied and goes to:
    *Strength of Victory: Close, but i think we'd take it

    Bills:
    *Conference record: Bills(6-5), Titans(4-5)
    -If the Bills beat the Browns we can't get past them in a tie-breaker
    -If the Bills lose to the Browns we have to win out to beat them
    *Common games: they win

    Broncos:
    *They win, they beat us head to head

    Texans:
    *We win, season sweep

    Now if there is a 3 or more team tie it goes to conference record:
    Browns(6-4)
    Broncos(6-4)
    Bills(6-5)
    Titans(4-6)

    Assuming BOTH the Browns and Bills make it and Broncos don't, one of them would have at least 7 wins, so we'd need to to win out to have any cance at getting to the next step

    If its us the Bills and Broncos, the Broncos get in due to beating both teams.

    If it's us the Browns and Broncos, the Broncos or Browns would take it, because the Broncos would automatically have a better conference record than us.

    If it's all four of us, Broncos would have a better conference record than us

    So the Broncos kill us in a multi-team tie.....The only other way we can win a multi-team tie is if we win out, and take it to strength of victory with the Bills and Browns, which we would likely win.

    Strength of Victory so far:
    Jaguars-54
    Titans-38
    Browns-34
    Bills-21

    It's gonna be really tough to get in if we don't win out, but it is possible.
    Most likely scenario IF we don't win out is:
    Browns lose to Bills and Bengals, Bills lose to Eagles and Giants

    This weeks games in order of importance:
    Buffalo @ Cleveland: This one is tough to call, i'll give some scenarios:
    If we win out and:
    -Browns win: they lose to Bengals and we're in, they beat the bengals, and they're in.
    -Buffalo wins: Bills would need to lose one more OR they don't lose and the Browns win out
    If we win 2 and:
    -Browns win: we can't pass them
    -Bills Win: They need to lose their final two, and Browns need to lose to Bengals.

    Jacksonville @ Pitt-
    -If this happens and we win out we could pass them if:
    They lose to either Houston or Oakland
    -If we win only two:
    they lose out

    Denver @ Houston- We are not scared of the Texans in a tie-breaker, we are scared of the Broncos

    Of course we also need a win. We lose and we are most likely done.
    No other games matter except for strength of victory.
