The chances for the Broncos

Mathematically speaking, they have only one thing to do, to win out the rest of their games. Placed 11th in the AFC, they have a mere 5% chance of getting through. And their head-to-head advantage over the Buffalo Bills would favor them, but not if the Houston Texans clinch that spot.
