I can't.
Broncos have Raiders, Browns, Colts left which would put them at 8 wins.
Then they just have to win 1 of Chiefs, Falcons, Chargers, Bengals, Chiefs (the Chiefs might sit their starters in week 18) to get to 9.
Chargers have Titans, Patriots, Raiders left which would put them at 8 wins.
Then they just have to win 1 of Buccaneers (who are 0-3 since losing all their WRs), Bengals, Ravens, Falcons, Chiefs, Broncos to get to 9.
Heck, the Colts aren't good but they have 4 wins with the Patriots, Titans, Giants, and Jags left which might see them around 7. If they win just 1 of the Bills, Jets, Lions, or Broncos that would put them at 8-9 with 6 or 7 AFC wins to our 5 or 6 if we were 8-9.
9 wins and beating either the Chargers or the Broncos is the minimum I can see for us to make it in. (I generously put us in the difficult games section of both teams rather than the gimmie even though we haven't beaten a team with more than 2 wins yet.)
