The Baltimore Ravens are focused on securing a home playoff game in Week 18. With their own win over the Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens can clinch the AFC North division title and earn the No. 3 seed by defeating the Cleveland Browns at home.
A loss to the Browns would force the Ravens to rely on a Bengals win over the Steelers to stay in contention for a top-four playoff spot. However, even if that happens, they would likely be seeded No. 5 and face the Los Angeles Chargers or Denver Broncos in the wild-card round.
The Ravens have an advantage in head-to-head tiebreakers against both the Chargers and Broncos. According to The New York Times’ playoff simulator, the Chargers have a 61% chance of earning the AFC’s No. 6 seed, while the Steelers have only a 22% chance and the Broncos a 13%. As the No. 5 seed, the Ravens would likely face the Texans in the wild-card round.
