We need to win out.
Denver needs to go 0-3 (vs. NE, @KC, vs.OAK)
Miami needs to go 0-3 (@NYJ, @BUF, vs. NE)
Baltimore needs to go 1-2 (vs.PHI, @PIT, @CIN)
Tennessee needs to go 1-2 (@KC, @JAC, vs. HOU)
Indy needs to go 2-1 (@MIN, @OAK, vs. JAC)
Buffalo needs to go 2-1 (vs.CLE, vs.MIA, @NYJ)

One you can remove.  If Tennessee goes 2-1, or better, they unseat Houston as a division winner and it becomes Houston in the wildcard race.  Further, Tennessee would likely beat Houston too.  The Bengals would beat Houston in order to go undefeated.
The three that are unlikely, from an odds perspective:


Denver 0-3
Miami 0-3
Buffalo 1-2
Even then, Denver plays the three best teams in the AFC, two on the road.  Likely all three will need wins to finish the season, so no tanking.  Miami, just lost their QB.
