The Baltimore Ravens and the New York Giants are set to face off in a Week 16 game where both teams are fighting to stay alive in the NFL playoff race. The Ravens must win their two remaining games to keep their postseason chances alive. Likewise, the Giants must do the same thing.
The Ravens have a few scenarios that will allow them to clinch a playoff spot:
- Scenario 1: The Ravens win, The Dolphins lose
- Scenario 2: The Ravens win, The Browns lose
- Scenario 3: The Ravens win, The Colts
Clearly, the Ravens need some help in order to make the playoffs. For now, all the Ravens can do now is try their best to win their next two games. Similarly, the Giants must win out in order to stay alive in the playoff race.
If the Giants lose to the Ravens on Sunday and the Washington Football Team defeats the Panthers, the Giants will be eliminated from the playoff hunt. Sunday's game between the Giants and the Ravens could significantly change the postseason picture one way or another.
