The Baltimore Ravens have only three games remaining and now sit with a 96 percent chance to lock up the number one seed in the AFC, according to Seth Walder of ESPN.
After the Ravens beat the Bills and the Patriots lost to the Chiefs today, Baltimore now has a 96% chance to earn the No. 1 seed in the AFC, according to FPI.

The Ravens currently sit with a 9-2 record and with the New England Patriots' loss, they dropped to 8-3. The Ravens currently hold the tiebreaker over the Ravens because of their head to head win, so unless the Ravens collapse they should have home field locked in.
With the Ravens win on Sunday, they also officially locked up a playoff berth, but that isn't something the team was wanting to celebrate after the game.
“I tried to make a big deal about it in the locker room, and the guys kind of gave me a smattering of applause,” coach John Harbaugh said via ESPN. “They expected that; I think they've earned the right to expect that.”
Linebacker Matthew Judon knows just getting into the playoffs means nothing, and remembers being bounced out by the Los Angeles Chargers last season.
“We haven't done anything yet,” said linebacker Matthew Judon, who finished with 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble. “Just to get in, it isn't enough. We got in last year and it wasn't enough. This game always leaves you wanting more. You got to make it to the next stage. That's what we're trying to do.”
The Ravens' next game is on Thursday night against the New York Jets and with a win they will move one step closer to locking up home-field advantage.
