Each bar starts at the first window it can happen in. Dashed: not ruled out yet.

- 2)JAX 7 wins + BUF 2 losses + DEN 1 loss + KC loss to ATL (wk 10)
The playoff berth and the AFC South title need none: winning out is enough. Losses are to clubs other than the Jaguars.

Strength of schedule plays out each remaining game weighted by both clubs' scoring and the schedule they have faced; coin flip gives every game an even chance. Each run then plays the bracket its own season set up — series lengths, home games and byes included. Percentages are simulated, never a clinch.
