Ravens vs. Dolphins GAMEDAY: How to Watch, Betting Odds

The Ravens and Dolphins meet in Week 17 for what could decide the top seed in the AFC.

Two of the top quarterbacks in the AFC meet in a matchup that could decide the top seed in the AFC come playoff time. Miami's Tua Tagovailoa and Baltimore's Lamar Jackson are fully healthy at the end of the season and it shows how dangerous both teams can be with healthy signal callers.

“I got a lot of respect for Lamar, the things that he’s done throughout his career,” Tagovailoa said. “I can vividly remember when I was in college, I think he was in the NFL, and he reached out to me. He told me I was balling, and I thought that was the one of the coolest things. I think that was the year he won the MVP.”

Jackson is in the running for his second NFL MVP, especially after out-dueling fellow MVP candidates Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy last Monday night in San Francisco. 

Baltimore leads the AFC at 12-3 and can clinch the No. 1 seed with a win over Miami. But if the Dolphins win, they'll move to 12-4 and control their own destiny to the No. 1 overall seed.

But the race for the AFC is so close that the loser of this game might not end up even winning its division. So a lot is riding on this game for both teams.
