This is a two part question.

First, how many wins gets us into the playoffs?

And second, which games in the final six will we be favored in -- will it be enough, assuming all plays out the way it's supposed to?

Our record right now is 6-4.
Our final six games are:
vs. 49ers
at Ravens
vs Cardinals
at Jets
at Bills
vs Patriots

I would think 10 wins would squeek us in.
I don't see how the Dolphins aren't favored in all of our remaining games, except vs. Patriots

^ Yeah, I think we're favored in 3 of the 6.

Arizona, San Fran, and Jets.

And that 9 wins won't be enough.

1) Beat SF
2) then go 3-2 in the final 5 games. Get's us to 10 wins and then we sit back and watch hope the AFC West eats each other alive to where 1 team is killed.

Root for Houston over Oakland tonight. Then next week Denver plays KC on Sunday Night.

Not going to be surprised if they haven't lost a game going when we play NE.  I'd be more surprised if they finished 3-2.

I think you need to beat Jets, SF, Arizona.  ...and then steal a win from Baltimore, Buffalo, or god forbid, New England.

Depends if the bills keep winning. They are 5-5 and have played 2 more road games than home games. They only have one challenge @oak.

It might be. Slumps happen all the time to good teams and I don't think Denver or KC is looking particularly strong lately. Either could go into a slump, however I wouldn't be surprised either if one of the 5-5 teams like Buffalo gets hot and squeeks out 9 wins as well so there's gonna be a lot of teams looking for those 2 wild card playoff spots.

Rex Ryan is the undisputed King of meaningless Week 16 and 17 victories. Eliminated from the playoffs already? Bet the house on Ryan.

1) I think 10 wins gets us into the playoffs.

2) The only game Miami will truly be favored in is this week's game against the 49ers.  The Patriots game they will be decidedly the underdog.  All the games in the middle will be less than a 7 pt. spread and those are really toss ups, not like any would be a big favorite.
