Re: Will the Ravens win the AFC North?
Actually, the odds are stacked against the Steelers and Bengals. BR.com explained the tiebreakers the other day. To win the division the Steelers or Bengals have to 1)win the four remaining games (both of them can't do that) and 2) the Ravens have to lose atleast 3 games.
If there is a tie at 11-5 the Ravens still win by virtue of tiebreakers.

Re: Will the Ravens win the AFC North?
Ben will be back on Sunday. I don't see the Steelers losing anymore games this season. It sucks but it is what it is.

Re: Will the Ravens win the AFC North?
As long as the Ravens go 2-2 they're going to win the division

Yes, but it will not be impressive. Sunday concerns me

Re: Will the Ravens win the AFC North?
Harbs has a pretty good record in December.
It is feasible that they could go 4-0 in December. If they play like they did against Oakland or the first Cinci game, then they could definitely win out.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Will the Ravens win the AFC North?
I said no, just think the schedule is too hard based on what we've seen to this point. They've been barely scraping by teams for the past month.
I think this weekend will determine it, honestly. Losing here (first time Harbaugh/Flacco will have lost two consecutive games) and that is going to quickly become three games since I don't see them beating Manning and the Broncos - they haven't beat him in over a decade and that was with the Ravens having a stellar defense, which they do not anymore. The question is then can they stop the skid against a Giants team that perennially plays their best football at the end of the year or a good Bengals team on the road.
I'm not a doom and gloomer but I really think this game against Washington makes or breaks the season. I would love to be wrong and as I have in the past will certainly be here to say I was if/when they win the division, I just have my doubts right now.back on twitter

Re: Will the Ravens win the AFC North?
theres a scenario where Pitt and Cin each lose once and we lose out and we still win it. or only winning 2 of the next 4, which after winning 16 straight at home were now suppose to lose 3 in a row? Im not worried about the division, im more worried about what were going to do in the playoffs, and if we can still get a first round bye.

Re: Will the Ravens win the AFC North?
They've also lost eight straight games since 2002 to Peyton Manning, a few of which were embarassing, 2005, 2007, 2008...this was with the Ravens having a great defense most of the time. I don't know about three straight at home but if they get one, they still have to get one on the road against two tough teams.

Re: Will the Ravens win the AFC North?
I think the odds we win the division are good but not as high as one would think just looking at the records and knowing who his ahead in tiebreakers (i.e. ignoring the actual opponents of us and Cincy and Pitt and current performance trends of all three of us).
I think if we win this Sunday those odds skyrocket. If we lose, I say they dip slightly below 50%. This weekend's game and the home game against the Giants are the two most winnable, imo.
The Pittsburgh-Cincy game is one where we could be rooting hard for either one of them depending on what happens over the next two weeks.
