Do We Need Denver To Lose?

Denver is currently ahead of us in the standings because we are in a multi-way tie. However, if everything else goes our way and Denver wins out as well ... don't we hold the tie breaker over just them? So if Denver and we are tied, we get in as long as no one else is tied with us.

strength of sched?? wtf is this, the BCS?

 

I thought that in the NFL it was based on Record, followed by : Conf. record, (division record for teams in teh same division), and finally common opponants.

With that, the Bills beat out the Broncos ... so we only need two of the following three besides winning out.

 

Jags lose one.

Ravens lose one.

Jets lose both.

We DO NOT beat the Broncos in a tiebreaker. For ties involving teams of different divisions, it is head-to-head, then conference record. If Buffalo and Denver tie at 10-6, Denver will have a better conference record than us. There are several threads that have listed all of these cases, though I realize the search engine has been turned off.

Um.. don't the Broncos have a 5-5 conference record? If they win out, won't they have a 7-5 conference record? Isn't the best we can do 6-6 in the AFC? Therefore, don't we need Denver to lose?
