Maybe I'm confused about the rules and tiebreakers but right now, as it is, how are the Dolphins further in the drivers seat for the Wild Card than we are? Shouldn't we be tied for it? And what happens if the Ravens lose out and us and the Fishies win out for the rest of the season? Will there be a one game tiebreaker to decide who goes? Heh, I haven't had to worry about tiebreakers for a while I guess.

It's all answered in the Road to the playoffs thread.

Miami is 6-4 in the conference (2nd tie breaker for a wild card slot), the Pats are 5-5. Division title is definitely the best path for the Pats. The Cravens are 7-3, so at worst 7-5. To lose out means the Ravens end at 9-7 and would be out anyway.
