Hopefully, bad Ravens team will show up.

 

I'm hoping that the Ravens come into that last week with nothing to gain/lose (ie: higher seed, home field advantage, etc.) so that their focus is elsewhere. When that happens, it seems like they are very beatable.

If we don't beat the Ravens (a playoff caliber team) then we don't deserve to make the playoffs anyways.

^CincySportsFan, they're not a very good road team.....@SD - loss, @Ten - loss, @Jacksonville - loss, @Seattle - loss.

 

Their road wins are @Cleveland, @St. Louis, and @Pittsburgh.

 

One solid win. I just think Baltimore is a very average team when taken away from their place.

 

At the same time, I fully expect them to beat Cincy, because the Bengals almost always disappoint when the give fans a glimmer of optimism.

Pretty remarkable, but if the Bengals loss this coming week to Arizona, they still make the playoffs if they beat Baltimore and the Jets lose to Miami. A Jets loss to the Giants and win over the Dolphins gives the Jets the tiebreaker. No matter what happens this week, the Bengals need a win and a Jets loss week 17.

With the loss yesterday, I believe they will have something to play for in that last game no matter what happens tonight and next week.

Today was the Bengals day. Raiders, Jets, and Titans all go down while we win. If we lose to the Steelers, we have to beat the Ravens and hope the Jets lose to the Giants or Dolphins. IMO if we win out, we will be in.

 

I believe so too.

They really screwed themselves by letting TJ Yates walk the Texans into the end zone...

Jets have a solid chance at losing both of there remaining games.

Another thing to think about is if the Steelers win tonight, there is a really good shot that the Ravens will have nothing to play for in Week 17. If that's the case, they may rest some players. :idunno:

The Ravens are hoping they can rest Joe Flacco because he is Joe Flacco.

I was thinking the same thing. However after looking at things if the Bengals lose this week, that puts them in a tie with the Titans, Raiders, and Chargers if all those teams win too. They all would have 7 losses and 5 conference losses. So even if the Jets lose to Miami, it may not matter if the Bengals lose a game depending on how the other teams do and tiebreakers.

 

I think if the Bengals win out they will make it in, because I do think the Jets will lose one more and possibly two. Then if the Bengals lose this week is the only week they could possibly afford to lose and at least have a shot still though.
