Who Ravens Fans Should Root for in Week 11

who to root for week 11

The second half of the season is well on its way, and every week the playoff picture is getting a little clearer.

The Ravens have an uber-important game against the Steelers on Sunday, but here are five other games Ravens fans should keep an eye on in Week 11:

Indianapolis Colts (4-6) @ New York Jets (3-7)

1 p.m., CBS

The Colts are fighting for the final AFC Wild Card spot and will go back to second-year quarterback Anthony Ricardson after benching Joe Flacco. The Jets had high expectations coming into the season, but their playoff hopes are bleak. A loss from the Colts would help the Ravens' playoff odds if they don't win the AFC North.

Root for: Jets

Atlanta Falcons (6-4) @ Denver Broncos (5-5)

4:05 p.m., FOX

The Broncos are another team eyeing a Wild Card spot in the AFC, but the Ravens have the edge in a potential tiebreaker scenario. Playing an NFC opponent, a loss from the Broncos can only help Baltimore.

Root for: Falcons

Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) @ Buffalo Bills (8-2)

4:25 p.m., CBS

The Chiefs have 2.5 games on the Ravens and own the tiebreaker after beating Baltimore in Week 1. While the Ravens are still technically alive for the AFC's No. 1 seed (3% chance, according to ESPN), the odds are shrinking. The Chiefs have a 72% chance of earning a first-round bye. The Bills are currently the No. 2 seed in the conference, a spot the Ravens will be eyeing in the final two months of the season. Baltimore also has the tiebreaker after beating the Bills by 25 points in Week 4. The matchup of AFC heavyweights will be one to watch after Ravens-Steelers.

Root for: Chiefs

Cincinnati Bengals (4-6) @ Los Angeles Chargers (6-3)

8:20 p.m., NBC/Peacock

The Ravens and Steelers have separated themselves in the AFC North, but a couple more losses from the Bengals could eliminate Cincinnati from division contention. The Chargers are riding a three-game winning streak and host the Ravens in Week 12, so "Sunday Night Football" is one to watch for Baltimore fans.

Root for: Chargers

Houston Texans (6-4) @ Dallas Cowboys (3-6)

Monday, 8:15 p.m., ESPN/ABC

After starting 5-1 and looking like one of the AFC's best teams, the Texans have lost three of four heading into "Monday Night Football." The Cowboys are without quarterback Dak Prescott and have struggled recently, but Ravens fans should be rooting for the upset to round out Week 11.
