Way I predict RCB progress:
18 May - Bangalore vs CSK. Away. Lose
20 May - Bangalore vs Hyderabad. Away. Win.
22 May - Bangalore vs Kolkata. Away. Win.
24 May - Bangalore vs CSK. Home. Win.
14 points.
RCB need to win more matches than KKR and Hyderabad (also 4 games left) or win by huge margins to have NRR on their side.
One advantage Bangalore have is that if two of their batsmen score to their full potential out of Gayle,AB and Kohli in an innings they would probably win.

Hyderabad in with a very good chance to win this as they have Steyn and Mishra, two world class bowlers who you will not easily take for 80 in their 8.
