I don't think Baltimore is going to make the playoffs. They're a game behind the division leader, Cincinnati, and their final two games are against the Patriots, an almost sure loss, and against the Bengals. Cincinnati's final two games are against Minnesota, an almost sure win, and then Baltimore. If Cincinnati wins Sunday and Baltimore loses, Cincy clinches the division. And it's very unlikely that Cincinnati would lose to Minnesota in an upset,
and Baltimore would beat New England in an upset. If that would happen, however, Baltimore would still have to win the head-to-head matchup against Cincinnati to take the division.
If the Ravens don't win the division, they could take a wildcard spot, but that's almost even less likely. Baltimore is in a tie with Miami for the final spot. However, Miami will most likely beat their final two teams, the Jets and the Bills. San Diego could be in the mix too, with their final two games coming against Oakland and Kansas City. Nope, I just don't think Baltimore can do it.
However, anything can happen any given Sunday in the NFL, so it's possible Baltimore makes the playoffs. I just don't see it happening.
