AFC North

Patriots own a tiebreaker over Dolphins, Chiefs, and Titans in a theoretical situation where they are all 9-7, but any loss/tie or wins/ties by Dolphins and at least one of Chiefs/Titans ends their playoff hopes.

Jags are in a similar situation as Pats, just a different combo of teams.

A Titans win and Pioneers loss would clinch the AFC South for the Titans

A Dolphins win/tie and Pats loss or tie would clinch the AFC East for the Dolphins.

Raiders clinch AFC West and bye with a win/tie or Express loss/tie, home field through playoffs with the previous plus Dolphins loss/tie.

Browns are eliminated with a loss to the Ravens.

Because of a potential 3-way tie scenario, I believe that the only surefire way for the Bengals to be eliminated is with a loss and wins by both the Ravens and Steelers.

There are probably elimination scenarios for Broncos/Pioneers beyond losing and wins by the 9-win teams, but I'm not going to delve into it now.
