Some paths I found as of this morning.
Pats win out
And Ravens lose 2 of 3
And Dolphins lose 2 of 3 and a loss must be against us
The third scenario is most likely but again all of this must happen for the Pats to get in at 9-7
Another one:
Pats win out
And Ravens lose 2 of 3
And Dolphins win no more than 1 game, a loss against us, and tie either Raiders or Bills
And Browns lose out
There's a path involving the Browns too instead of the Ravens
Pats win out
And Browns lose out
And Dolphins lose 2 of 3 with a loss against us
Extremely unlikely though - that would require the Jets to beat the Browns.
Another involving the Colts:
Pats win out
Colts lose out
Dolphins lose 2 of 3 with a loss against us
Also extremely unlikely - that would require the Jags to beat the Colts. Jags are looking for the first overall pick.
Also looks like a Pats win on Sunday will avoid elimination for at least a week even if they get no help elsewhere. Pats cannot do anything less than 3 wins in a row or it will be elimination. 8-7-1 won't get us in.
