If the Ravens win, we’ll have a lower chance of facing the Bengals in the playoffs, which we all know they’ve had our number. On the other hand, if the Bengals win, we’ll strengthen our position in the AFC race for the number one seed. Now, the big question is, do we actually want to win on Thursday?
Unpopular opinion, but I hope the Bengals beat the Ravens, mainly to strengthen our #1 seed in the AFC. I don’t care about rivalries or get emotionally invested in what their respective fan bases are like or what would be more entertaining to watch. I just want the outcome that will benefit KC the most, and that would be for Baltimore to lose on Thursday.
