It's Baltimore

The AFC playoff picture is still in the final process of shaking out, but one thing is certain for the Patriots. They are playing the Baltimore Ravens next weekend in Gillette Stadium.
The Patriots might be the 3 or 4 seed, but either way, they'll face the Ravens, whom they beat in Week 4, 27-21. If the Bengals win tonight, the playoff tree looks like this:
1. Colts
2. Chargers
3. Bengals
4. Patriots
5. Ravens
6. Texans
And if the Jets win, the tree looks like this:
1. Colts
2. Chargers
3. Patriots
4. Bengals
5. Jets
6. Ravens
As you can see, either matchup is Ravens-Patriots.
