Confident that the Baltimore Ravens will get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2014? Apparently, you're not alone.

The Ravens are projected to have a 48.6 percent chance of reaching the postseason in 2017, according to the playoff probabilities devised by ESPN's Sports Analytics team.

That's the best shot among all non-playoff teams from last season. Baltimore also has the highest probability to earn a wild-card berth in the league at 23.6 percent.

The Ravens, who finished 8-8 last season, are looking to make the playoffs after failing to do so the past two seasons. The last time Baltimore didn't qualify for the postseason in three straight seasons was the first years of the Ravens' existence (1996-99).

The probability is the result of using efficiency ratings on offense, defense and special teams -- based on each unit's expected points added per play -- to simulate the NFL season 10,000 times.

Here are the Ravens' other probabilities:

Win total: 8.8

Win division: 25 percent

No. 1 playoff seed: 4.5 percent

Reach Super Bowl: 4.3 percent

Win Super Bowl: 2 percent

Overall, the Ravens are No. 10 in the preseason Football Power Index rankings. Baltimore narrowly missed out on the playoffs and the AFC North title last season, when they fell in the final seconds at Pittsburgh on Christmas.

The Ravens have bolstered their defense by re-signing highly-regarded nose tackle Brandon Williams, adding coveted safety Tony Jefferson and using their top four draft picks on defensive players, including cornerback Marlon Humphrey in the first round. There are still questions at wide receiver, running back and along the offensive line.

What should help the Ravens is a favorable schedule. Baltimore has the sixth-easiest one, according to FPI.
