If miami wins out ........Denver looses to Philly and wins against kc ,we will be both 9-7 have the same div record and conf record, what happens now?, We didnt play each other so theres no head to head , With Oakland winning it made thing a lot more complicated, in a good way!
 
Common opponents would be 2-3 tie also. Leaving strength of victory, which as it stands, DEN has a 42 pt lead.
 
I played around a lot with the Playoff Generator and the best way we can get in is this:

1. Miami beats Houston AND Pittsburgh
2. Pittsburgh beats Baltimore this week
3. New England beats Jacksonville

If these four games go our way, which is very possible, Miami gets in no matter what happens in any other game. That means Denver can beat Philadelphia or lose and it doesn't make a difference. Tennesee can also beat San Diego or lose, doesn't matter.

It would be strength of victory, but points has nothing to do with it. They have beaten New England, Cincy, San Diego, Dallas and the Giants. Those 5 wins alone are better than The dolphins 7 wins.

The reason they need to lose to KC would be it gives them a 6th conference loss, while Miami would only have 5 (assuming a 9-7 record for the Fins).

That tiebreak is stronger than the SOV.

Assuming all teams finish 9-7:

Jville wins the tiebreak vs. Tenn (division record)
Dolphins win the tiebreak vs. the NYJ (head to head)

Jets and Titans get eliminated

So u would have Miami, Jville, Bmore and Denver fighting (assuming all 4 finish 9-7).

Denver would win any SOV match, which is why it is critical that they lose against KC, to give them 6 losses in the conference . . . while the other teams only have 5 losses or less.

Jville would only have 4 losses in the conference, so they are in. We would then battle Bmore in the tiebreak and we would win the SOV and then we are in.

Thanks my man for trying to help out...Little confused tho on how Jets and Titans would be the ones eliminated immediatly cause you could argue that Mia gets eliminated by head to head vs Tenn same as NYJ did vs Miam in you sacenario nO? lol

dont we want denver to LOSE to KC? why would we want them to beat KC?
 
In most scenarios I run in the generator - both the broncos and the dolphins make it.. in some cases, we end up playing each other(MIA wins DIV)..

The broncos do not seem to be the threat to us.. our bigeest threats are the Jags and the Ravens

I feel u, but teams gets eliminated in the division first, so when figuring out the wildcard, at MOST u could have is 4 teams battlingfor the wildcard because the division tiebreakers would eliminate more than one team battling from a division.

The Tennessee head to head means nothing unless its just us and Tennessee in the 9-7 tiebreak.

Its so weird, that we actually need to root for Denver against Philly this week to KEEP them in the tiebreak in case the only 9-7 teams are us, Tennessee, Denver and Baltimore. We win the tiebreak in that situation, but lose it if Denver lost to Philly and KC.
 
SCENARIO #1
--Dolphins win last two games.
--Patriots lose last two games (vJac, @Hou).
SCENARIO #2
--Dolphins win last two games.
--Jaguars lose one of last two games (@NE, @Cle).
--Broncos lose to Chiefs in week 17.
--If Denver's only loss these next two weeks is in week 16 to Philly, the tie-breaker would go to "strength of victory" - which currently favors the Broncos (.5179 to .4388).
SCENARIO #3
--Dolphins win last two games.
--Jaguars lose one of last two games (@NE, @Cle).
--Ravens lose in week 16 to Steelers (Note - if Ravens beat Steelers but lose in week 17, Ravens win tie-breaker with Miami thanks to a 3-2 record in "common opponent" games; Dolphins only 2-3 in those games).
--Dolphins hold their lead in "strength of victory" over Ravens (currently .4388 to .375).
SCENARIO #4
--Dolphins win last two games.
--Jaguars lose one of last two games (@NE, @Cle).
--Ravens lose both of their remaining games (@Pit, @Oak).
--Titans lose one of last two games (vSD, @Sea) - otherwise Dolphins would lose out on tie-breaker to Titans due to Sunday's loss to Tennessee.
SCENARIO #5
--Dolphins win last two games.
--Jaguars lose one of last two games (@NE, @Cle).
--Bengals lose both of their remaining two games (vKC, @NYJ).
--Ravens win both of their remaining games (@Pit, @Oak).
 
Or the ultimate tiebreak:

Everybody loses, we lose to Houston but beat Pittsburgh . . . and we get in at 8-8. It could happen. Talk about backing in.
 
Pittsburgh is going to really want that game against the Ravens. We never beat Houston though so I won't get my hopes up only to have them crushed by a Kris Brown 75 yard field goal in overtime.
