Baltimore remains in bet on NFL contention for the AFC North Division title and or wild card berth. But the Ravens have been walking a tight rope all season with little margin for error. Following last year’s failure to make the playoffs head coach John Harbaugh was put on notice. For that reason, it has been a playoff or bust mentality for the Ravens all season. Correspondingly the Los Angeles Chargers are on fire. So too has LA come out of nowhere to emerge as a co-leader in the AFC West. Most important of all they are printing money!
