1. To win out and
2. Either Baltimore or the Patriots to lose 1 game.

If the Patriots lose 1 more game, and we win out, we will win the division for the second year in a row.
If the Ravens lose 1 more game, they will fall behind us in the Wild Card standing. That would cause a head to head against Jacksonville. And since we beet them, we will be ahead of them.

Lets hope the Dolphins get on a roll against some tough teams.
 
Both of those work, but we can get into the playoffs without the Patriots or Ravens losing another game.

The only other scenario would be a collapse by Denver, who still play the Chiefs and Raiders.
 
Also, if Denver loses to either KC or Oakland, we get in. Only if we win out of course. We would both be at 10-6, but would have the better conference record to win the tie breaker.
 
I'm only worried about Tennessee right now. It's the next game and if we don't win that one the Houston game likely will not matter much. If we win on Sunday, then I'll start worrying about Houston.

That and Tennessee. Titans and Texans always give us fits regardless of either team's record.

Yeah, I really haven't ever felt that positive about facing either team. Schaub and Johnson can obviously give us fits, and with our defense not always being solid (though they were great today) the playmaking ability of both Chris Johnson and Vince Young is scary.

The Pats have to lose to Buffalo to give us the Division.

True -- if by 'a collapse' you mean 'one loss.'

Even a Denver loss to Philadelphia could work, but it would require help from a string of other games. (Detail about this scenario is in the 'updated 10-6 playoff outlook' thread I started earlier.)
