I won't go in depth into the complicated tie-breaker scenario for the Pats. There are six teams vying for four playoff spots. Every other team in contention, the Jets, Dolphins, Colts and Ravens have better records either in the division or the conference. Assuming the Pats finish 11-5, they still need one of these teams to lose a game (or two in the Colts' case) to eke out a Wild-Card spot.
In short, the best chance the pats have is to finish 11-5, which they have a good chance of doing. the Pats' post-season hope rests on the outcome of the Cowboys-Ravens game next Saturday. If the Ravens lose in a well-matched contest, the Pats are assured a wild card spot if they finish 11-5.
Other scenarios have either the Colts losing two -- or the Jets and Dolphins losing one each -- or either the Jets or Dolphins losing two in a row, which is much more unlikely given the matchups. If your a Pats fan, the Cowboys-Ravens game could be the whole season.
