After defeating the Giants, 35-14, the Ravens are on the verge of clinching a playoff spot and still alive for the AFC North title.
Pittsburgh's 27-13 loss to the Eagles put the Ravens (9-5) just one game behind the Steelers (10-4) in the division entering a pivotal Week 16 between the rivals.
A Steelers win on Saturday would give Pittsburgh the division crown, but a Ravens victory would put their division chances at 48%, according to the New York Times. Right now, the New York Times has that number around 35%, while ESPN gives the Ravens a 30% chance.
Even if the Ravens beat the Steelers on Saturday, Pittsburgh will need to lose to the Chiefs (13-1) or Bengals (6-8) over the final two weeks for Baltimore to have a shot at the division.
The Ravens would clinch a playoff spot next week with a win and could also punch their ticket with losses by the Colts (vs. Titans) and Dolphins (vs. 49ers).
Baltimore would be the No. 5 seed if the season ended today, which would mean a road playoff game against the No. 4-seeded Houston Texans (9-5), who won the AFC South. The Ravens and Broncos both sit at 9-5 as wild card teams, but the Ravens have the tiebreaker from their head-to-head win earlier this season.
