It will be between the Raiders/Browns/Dolphins and Colts for 2 spots.

As you can see all the teams tied with them are .500 or worse in the conference so they could easily lose another conference game and remain in the playoffs. Also their strength of schedule and strength of victory is better than all AFC teams currently holding a playoff spot.

The defense is still terrible so they will only go as far as the offense takes them so if something happens to Carr or they slump offensively they will be in trouble.
