This is impossible... either New England, NYJ or Baltimore have to get in

Jets win and either Ravens or Pats lose, Jets and the team that doesn't lose are in (if they both lose the Ravens get in anyway)

Jets lose, the Dolphins get in and The Ravens get in if they win, or New England gets in if they win and the Ravens lose (The ens get in if both teams lose)

Basically the only way Baltimore can't get in is if The Jets or The Pats take their spot. Two of the three teams can get in if (when) the Jets beat Miami. then if the other teams lose its the Jets and Ravens, if they both win its the Pats and Ravens and if one wins and one loses it's the Jets and the team that won.

Also in response to the original post looking at "If the season ended today" is often a poor and misleading way of looking at the playoff picture, because the last week of the season often has tie breaker implications which change everything around.... for example currently if the Jets win and The Ravens lose theyd both end up 10-6 and right now The Ravens are tied for the first tie breaker (Conference Record) but ahead in the next tie breaker, so one can then infer that The Jets can't get in ahead of the Ravens.... but if they Jets win and the Ravens lose to end up both 10-6 then the Jets will overtake the conference record tie breaker since both teams are playing in conference games.

Edit: I just read the end of the 2nd post -- Eagles or Giants vs The Steelers in the SB?????? Stop it stop it. The Eagles aren't even making the playoffs! Even if they manage to beat Dallas which I really don't think they will, do you really think that the Bucs are going to lose to Oakland AT HOME with their playoff lives on the line??....AND even if that somehow happens they still need more help (either a Bear loss to the Texans or a Viking loss to the Giants). To say Philly is gunna make the playoffs is borderline crazy.....to say the SUPER BOWL is full blown!

The Steelers have a chance to get in, but games at Tennessee or against The Colts will be very tough -- if both teams play their A game I'd pick both them ahead of Pitt, but it comes down to will they.
