are ravens out of playoffs

No, the Baltimore Ravens are not out of the playoffs yet; they are still alive going into Week 18, but hanging on by a thread.
Quick Scoop
- The Ravens are 8–8 and still “in the hunt” for the AFC North title and the final AFC playoff spot.
- Their Week 17 win over the Packers kept them alive and even boosted their playoff odds into the low‑20% range, though the path is very shaky.
- The division — and effectively their postseason fate — comes down to a Week 18 showdown vs. the Steelers, billed as a de‑facto elimination game for the last AFC berth.
What has to happen?
- Baltimore must take care of business in Week 18 against Pittsburgh; a loss would knock the Ravens out.
- Because they were already eliminated from wild‑card contention, their only realistic road is to win the AFC North via that head‑to‑head result.
Forum / fan chatter vibe
“Somehow, someway, the Ravens still have a chance… it may be false hope, but they did their job in Week 17.”
- Fan sites and message boards are treating Week 18 as a winner‑takes‑all, season‑on‑the-line showdown, with a mix of cautious hope and frustration over how messy the year has been.
- The narrative around the team is that they are deeply flawed but dangerous enough that no one really wants to face them if they sneak in.
