My understanding is if the the Titans and the Bills lose today and next time, and we somehow beat the Colts next week AND beat Jacksonville the week after, we could be headed for the post season. If two teams have an equal number wins and losses and equal division wins and losses, who advances?

There are only 2 wild card spots, which are currently held by Jacksonville and Cleveland.
Houston is listed in that article, but tiebreakers for the Texans aren't mentioned, probably because there are far too many combinations of things that need to happen in order for Houston to make it. Your chances are slim indeed. Your playoff chances start with a whole lot of Cleveland, Buffalo, and Tennessee losing. I presume Jacksonville will lock up a spot, so there will be four teams fighting for that final spot.
According to the article, with Denver's loss last night, Cleveland clinches a playoff spot if they beat the Bills and Tennessee loses to KC. It's supposed to snow like crazy - winter storm watch for Sunday - in Cleveland, so that'll probably mess everything up, negate the Browns' passing game, and hand the Bills another cheap victory etc. Typical. Tennessee has no business losing to KC, but stranger things have happened.
