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?
We match up way better to Cinci because our Passing D is so much better than the Run D, so the Bengals should be the pick, but the chances of Lamar being healthy for the playoffs anyway is 0.
So Ravens all the way
Usually I’d want the team w the better record to lose, but here, I’ll say I want the ravens to win. If the bengals lose, the result of our head to head with them will matter less. We don’t have a head to head w the ravens, and so far we have multiple tie breakers against them.
I know that right now the bengals technically aren’t in the playoff picture, but we are what, two games out from falling out? And they’re one or two games out from being in? So everything is so close that any of the people with their same record could be competing for the one seed come actual playoff time. So I want anyone we have head to heads with to lose all their games so that it can’t possibly come down to a head to head tiebreaker
That being said, there’s also perks to the ravens losing so I really don’t care too much. I’ll find a benefit either way. Kinda like the game last night
Tie
bengos
Ravens gonna win the division regardless.
Ravens. Cincinnati’s defense bothers Mahomes
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.
previous related discussion about who KC fans would rather the Chiefs face in the AFCCG.
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.
It doesn’t matter. If you think you’re a Super Bowl winner then you shouldn’t be afraid of anyone.
Ravens.
Honestly I just want to beat them and the Eagles in the regular season. Anything else that happens during the season is just icing on the cake. Those are my only 2 asks for this season. And beating the Bengals in the playoffs if we even face them.
Cripes almighty y’all, we can beat the Bengals with our defense alone, as things currently stand. But let’s just see how the next few games go. Eagles have their fair share of weak spots but are definitely better than the Bengals.
First off f*** the ravens. But it looks like the Broncos got horses so just follow Russ.
I want the same thing to happen that happened last night. Nobody wins but someone finds a way to lose.
Ravens easy. Lamar with his style won’t be 100% come playoff time in the cold.
