The Ravens' 24-19 loss to the Eagles will put a damper on the upcoming bye week, but the Ravens are still in strong position to make the playoffs.
Sitting at 8-5, the Ravens have a 98% chance of reaching the postseason, per ESPN’s Power Football Index. NFL.com has the Ravens' chances at 96%.
If the season ended today, the Ravens would be the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoffs, which would mean a road playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3).
After the Steelers win over the Bengals and Baltimore's loss Sunday, the Ravens have a 30% chance to win the division, per ESPN.
It appears that 10 wins will be enough to get into the postseason. That means the Ravens would have to win half of their remaining games against this schedule:
- Week 15 @ Giants (2-10)
- Week 16 vs. Steelers (9-3)
- Week 17 @ Texans (8-5)
- Week 18 vs. Browns (3-8)
The Broncos (7-5) currently sit in the final playoff spot. The Ravens own a head-to-head tiebreaker over them if they were to finish tied in the standings.
The Ravens have at least a two-game lead on the other two teams vying to break into the playoff picture: Colts (6-7) and Dolphins (5-7).
According to ESPN, the Colts have a 29% chance to make the postseason while the Dolphins have an 11% chance. Here's a look at their remaining schedules:
Colts
- Week 15 @ Broncos (7-5)
- Week 16 vs. Titans (3-9)
- Week 17 @ Giants (2-10)
- Week 18 vs. Jaguars (2-10)
