If the ravens lose to the steelers today do we have any shot at still making the playoffs through a wildcard spot?
 
We need the Ravens to finish 9-7 or else they will get in over us at 10-6
 
correct, the Raven must lose all 3 games for us to have a chance at the wildcard. If the Ravens beat Pittsburgh today we are officially ELIMINATED from wildcard contention . . . while the Jets and New England still have a chance. Crazy aint it.
 
We would be out of wildcard contention because we might be 11-5, and the Ravens 10-6, so we would be better than the wildcard. What you guys said just sounds bad

Its because they didnt lose to the ravens like we did so they own the tie against us.
 
Ravens loss 1 more then 2 teams from AFC are making it to the play off.

then Miami has to win 2 games as they cannot make the wildcard as NE will get in.so its 2 games to win the division or lose 1 and hope NE losses 1 or else no playoff
 
if the Cowboys beat the Ravens and Miami wins this weekend, the Dolphins move ahead of Baltimore for the wild card. NE and NYJ will also move ahead with wins.

Exactly.

This is the wild-card scenario;
With a win over KC and a loss to NY we would need:
- Ravens loss in last 2 games and Pat loss to Buffalo. Ravens' losses because we would need to finish 1 game ahead of them to avoid them taking it on a tie-breaker and Pats loss to Buffalo because unless they lose to an AFC East team they will have the division tie-breaker on us and they would be the WC spot.

With a loss to KC and a win against NY we would need:
- Again, Raven's loss in last 2 games for the same reason as stated above. Then we would also need the Patriots to win out, this is because we would lose against them in tie-breakers, but if they take the division, and we are tied in record with the Jests, then we would defeat them on common-opponents tie-breaker.

So to summarize:

- Win last 2 games = Winning Division title (best route)

- Lose to KC & beat NY = needs Ravens 2 loss + Pats winning out (wild card)

- Lose to NY & beat KC = needs Ravens 2 loss + Pats losing to Bills (wild card)

- Lose to KC & NY = flux capacitor (heavy)

Correct, but the important thing to understand is . . . the Fins do NOT get a wildcard if Bmore wins another game (they have 2 left). They control our wildcard fates more than we do. A wildcard is NOT possible if Bmore reaches 10 wins.
 
part of me wants the Ravens, Jets and Dolphins(of course) to all win this week so it would be "win or go home" against the Jets.
