Though the odds are against the Dolphins in their battle for the AFC’s second wild-card spot, there’s one thing that should give a measure of hope to a handful of teams chasing the Baltimore Ravens for that prize:
The Ravens must play at the Chiefs on Sunday and at the Chargers on Dec. 23 and will be underdogs in both games. Teams pursuing the Ravens for that final playoff spot need Baltimore to lose at least one of those two, if not both, because Baltimore will be clearly favored in its other two games, at home against Tampa and Cleveland.
