Next week's game - Playoff implications (Merged Threads)
As I understand it, if we win next week and New England loses, we can still be the third seed, below Houston and Denver?
Do the Bengals have anything to play for? Can their wildcard seeding be improved or worsened?My Ravens Blog: Brittany Rants About Football

Re: Bengals Next Week (Playoff Implications)
Meaningless game for the Bengals. They're locked into the #6 seed even if they win and Indy loses because of losing the common opponents tiebreaker.
And yeah, it's not impossible for us to win the #3 seed. If we win and New England loses, we get the #3 seed and have to play Cincy at home.

Re: Bengals Next Week (Playoff Implications)
I think the Ravens are better off as the 4th seed. I'd rather play Indy than Cincy in Round 1.

Re: Bengals Next Week (Playoff Implications)
Thinking beyond that though. Rather be 3 seed and face probable 2 seed Denver in Denver after a week off. Then if NE beats Houston @ Houston very possible then you HOST AFFCG. Either way you are going to have to likley play @ Denver sooner or later. Being a 3 seed gives you a much better advantage at getting 2 home games.

Re: Bengals Next Week (Playoff Implications)
The best way for the Ravens to advance in the playoffs is to get as many players as healthy as they can. For them to do that, they need to rest any injured players next week. If they win that game with back-ups then fine, but they should rest a bunch of players against Cincy.

Re: Bengals Next Week (Playoff Implications)
And herein lies the great debate. Do we rest starters for a more significant playoff push? Or do we play the damn game like it's any other Sunday and try to win? (Despite the fact it's unlikely Miami can beat NE in NE?)

Re: Bengals Next Week (Playoff Implications)
How's this for parity...
The Patriots could lose next week along with a Ravens win, and be the #4 seed.
OTOH, If the Pats win, couple with Houston and Denver losses, they would be the #1 seed..
