1) Houston is the current #1 seed so the road to the Super will go through them.
2) We still have 5 weeks of games left to play and the playoff seeding is far from finalized. Both Houston and Baltimore currently have a 2 game lead over the Patriots and all three teams can swap places by the end of the sesaon (you can throw Denver into that mix too). The Patriots play the Texans in week 14 and if they win, would only be 1 game behind them in seeding. Baltimore has a reasonable chance of losing any one of it's final 5 games (vs Steelers, @ Redskins, vs Broncos, vs Giants, @ Bengals). Patriots play 3 teams they should be able to beat and 2 teams that will be tough and could go either way.
3) Even if the road to the Super Bowl does end up going through Baltimore, it doesn't guarantee them a victory. It took a last second field goal and a lot of help from the replacement refs for the Ravens to beat the Patriots by 1 point earlier this season. It will definitely be a close game that could go either way and will come down to the last second as usual.
Of course you don't have to worry about any of this since the Dolphins aren't going anywhere. You'd need to beat us twice for any chance of you going to the playoffs and that most definitely is not happening.
