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?
Bengals 100%, we don’t play the Ravens so we can neither hand them a loss and it narrows our tiebreaker options. On top of that Ravens have a better record.
