Miami Dolphins at Baltimore Ravens
A preview of a potential wild-card round game, the Dolphins got back in the playoff race as the No. 6 seed in the AFC after they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-24 on Sunday. Their current playoff chances sit at 38 percent, but a win against the Ravens improves that to 57 percent. A loss drops it down to 24 percent.
Standing in Miami's way is Baltimore's shutdown defense. Defensive coordinator Dean Pees has seen his unit allow a league-low 1.47 points per drive while forcing a three-and-out 28 percent of the time, fifth best in the NFL. And good luck trying to complete a pass against free safety Eric Weddle. He's allowed just 70 yards over 416 snaps in coverage with two interceptions and is the No. 1 rated safety per the game charters at Pro Football Focus.
Baltimore has a lot riding on this game as well. The Ravens are currently the AFC's No. 3 seed, and could see their playoff probability improve from 46 to 56 percent with a win, but drop to 30 percent with a loss.
