We need both to lose once for home field , we need only the Colts to lose for a bye. If only San Diego loses we are 3rd.

Do we not hold the tie breaker of the head to head matchup against San diego? if they lose one game we have the same record

Yes, in a TWO WAY matchup. If the Colts are tied as well, the Ravens are left out.

boy do I ever wish the Bengals had beaten the Colts...
unless of course, the Bengals get knocked out of the playoffs and we get a favorable matchup in the 1st week of the playoffs. The Colts worry me less than the Bengals, since we could rush all over them and likely stifle Peyton Manning.

It was mentioned, but to go into more detail:
- Ravens have tie-breaker over Chargers by way of head to head.
- Colts have tie-breaker over Ravens by way of common opponents.
- Chargers have tie-breaker over Colts by way of common opponents.
In a three way tie, the teams are seeded by who sweeps the highest tie-breaker. Ravens have H2H vs. Chargers but haven't played the Colts, so no sweep there.
No team would have a conf record advantage (all 10-2).
Chargers have the tie-breaker over the Colts for common opponents, and the tie-breaker over the Ravens for common opponents. Chargers win #1 seed.
Now it reverts to the beginning. No Ravens/Colts H2H. No conf record advantage. Colts have us in common opponents. Colts win #2 seed.
We need the Colts to lose one or Chargers to lose two if either of the other wins out in order to get a bye. Chargers won't lose two, which means we need Houston to pull one out of their @$$, or we need the Phins to actually show up in the last game of the year.
