The Baltimore Ravens have a 73.44 percent chance of reaching the playoffs this season, according to the sports analytics site numberfire.com.
Their best shot at making the postseason is as a wild card, which isn't surprising. The Ravens (9-5), who currently hold the No. 6 seed in the AFC, have a 52.94 percent chance of earning a wild-card berth.
The Ravens can clinch at least a wild-card berth if they win their final two games. They're a 4.5-point favorite for Sunday's game in Houston, and they should be favored at home against Cleveland in the regular-season finale.
Even though the Ravens are a half game back of first place in the AFC North, their chances of winning the division is only 20.5 percent, according to numberfire.com. This makes sense because the Ravens need help to capture the AFC North. Either the Cincinnati Bengals (9-4-1) or Pittsburgh Steelers (9-5) will win the division if they win out (they face each other in the regular-season finale).
The Ravens are a half game back of the Bengals, and they lose the tiebreaker to the Steelers based on division record. That means they can be eliminated from the AFC North race if Cincinnati and Pittsburgh both win this week.
Here are numberfire's percentages to win the AFC North and earn a wild-card spot:
AFC NORTH
Pittsburgh Steelers: 45.72 percent
Cincinnati Bengals: 33.78 percent

The Ravens can clinch a playoff berth Sunday if they win in Houston and Kansas City and San Diego both lose.
