Baltimore Ravens Playoff Odds & AFC Playoff Picture (11/25)
Looking into the Baltimore Ravens playoff odds (and the AFC Playoff picture) after their Week 12 win over the Oakland Raiders. Current AFC Playoff odds for all teams, courtesy of FiveThirtyEight, will also be listed below.
It’s not a bad thing that the Baltimore Ravens have more than one capable quarterback. It will, however, make for some interesting (and potentially awkward) conversations down the road. Having said that, the Ravens are in the AFC Playoffs through 11 games, albeit by the skin of their teeth. Right now, Baltimore is the No. 6 seed in the AFC race with a 6-5 record. Luckily, they own a tiebreaker over Indianapolis (also 6-5) and would be moving on if the playoffs started today. The odds and picture below have been calculated before the MNF game between Houston and Tennessee.
AFC Playoff Picture (11/25)
Division Leaders
#1 Kansas City (9-2)
#2 New England (8-3)
#3 Houston (7-3)*
#4 Pittsburgh (7-3-1)
Wild Card
#5 Los Angeles (8-3)
#6 Baltimore (6-5)
In The Hunt
Colts (6-5)
Titans (5-5)*
Bengals (5-6)
Broncos (5-6)
Dolphins (5-6)
Barely Hanging
Browns (4-6-1)
Bills (4-7)
*If the Titans win on Monday Night Football against Houston, they’ll also have a 6-5 record but Baltimore would still be the No. 6 seed. With that said, ESPN’s NFL Playoff Machine tells us that the AFC Playoff seeding will change no matter what happens on Monday Night Football, leaving the Ravens to play New England in all three scenarios (Titans win, Texans win, or tie).

Baltimore has a mix of playoff and non-playoff teams on their upcoming schedule — at ATL, at KC, vs. TB, at LAC, vs. CLE — but they’ll need to play well in all of them if they want to stick.
