If the Colts and Texans both finish with the same record, they would also be tied on the first four tiebreakers (head-to-head, winning percentage against division opponents, winning percentage in common games, and winning percentage conference games). It would therefore come down to the fifth tiebreaker, which is strength of victory - basically, which team has the stronger wins based on the records of those teams. The Texans can clinch the strength of victory tiebreaker on Sunday if one of the following two scenarios plays out: The Bengals beat the Broncos and then either the Saints beat the Jaguars, the Jets beat the Patriots, or the Panthers beat the Falcons The Saints, Jets, and Panthers all win http://www.stampedeblue.com/2015/12/27/10667282/how-can-the-texans-win-the-afc-south-this-week-colts yeah, I still don't understand, didn't that happen?
It's simple for this week. If the Bengals win tomorrow, Texans clinch this week. If not, they don't. My question is how do they clinch next week with a loss and a Colts win.
The fifth tie breaker from the pre-game scenario above I guess except the Jets beat the Patriots and we beat the Jets... how could we lode that?
It says the Bengals have to win, plus one of those other scenarios has to happen. The Bengals winning is a must in order for the others to apply.

I think it still would put us over the top if the tiebreaker possibility remained in effect for next week. So completely ok for you to add another reason to root for the Jags to lose!
