The first rule of thumb is that if we lose to the Jets at 1 PM then we are out of the playoffs.
Beyond that happening, let's start with Baltimore since they have the tie breaker over us.
If Baltimore beats home standing Cincinnati at 1 PM which will be tough because Cincinnati can still improve their seeding with NE who doesn't play until 4:25 PM..
1) Both Miami and San Diego must win to create three way tie and we win 6 seed due to better conference record. San Diego hosts KC at 4:25 and KC is locked into the 5 seed.
If Baltimore loses to Cincinnati:
2) Win and we are in
3) Tie with Jets coupled with a San Diego loss or tie to KC
If Baltimore ties Cincinnati:
4) Win and we are in
5) And Dolphins Tie Jets then San Diego must tie KC
We do win any 3 way tie breaker with Baltimore and San Diego only, which would be due to better conference record.
Phins Up!!!

You forgot, 6. We lose, Ravens lose, Chargers lose, and Steelers lose.
Ravens get tie breaker in that scenario, Sol. In that case Jets would be 8-8 too. The first rule to eliminate any ties is with teams within a division. The Jets would eliminate us with a better division record. Then Ravens won spot with best conference record.
