I do wonder if the Ravens are gonna rest their starters. The last time they were the 1 seed they did and came out flat against the Titans.

 

Could also get lucky with the Titans beating the Jags next week

 

Harbaugh won't make that mistake.  Like maybe take the 4th quarter off but you don't want your team resting for two whole weeks.

I love how Mahomes can always get rid of the ball on the way down to the ground.  Never called in the grasp.

We could also get in in this scenario with TEN beating JAX

I feel like the titans have mailed it in. A little surprising from a Vrabel team but they seem done

Bills and dolphins should get thru Snf slot week 18

Definitely wouldn't rule out the Titans getting a meaningless win to ***** with a division opponent.

Agreed. 

Titans would be motivated to eliminate the Jags

 

Also not relevant but interesting. The 1999 Jags went 14-2 in the regular season and loss to the Titans in playoffs. The Jags were undefeated, only to lose to Tennessee 3 times (regular season and the playoff loss)

Why risk hurting them in a meaningless game?  They have the 1 seed locked up.  Win or lose changes nothing for them.

 

In 2020 the Ravens rested their starters in the final week of regular season, came out flat and promptly lost to the Titans two weeks after. They won't want to repeat that trick. I think the starters will take some snaps, albeit perhaps only for a half.

 

Far more likely, unfortunately, that the Browns will field back ups against the Bengals.

They 100% will.  It's the most intriguing game and it's also guaranteed that neither team's strategy will be changed by prior results.

The Ravens would be AFC favourites, and rightly so.

Debatable.

 

But does the point stand? Do they want to see us? Or Mason Rudolph?

[SUNTANBILLS FAN]

We need to win period! 2 seed home game. Dolphins are  beat up

[Success]

Not really any other way to look at it - we have to beat the Dolphins.

 

Where else would you rather be?

 

[Scott7975]

I feel like if they win this challenge KC will just go for it and get it anyways. 

[DapperCam]

Does the ball need to be in bounds when you leap across the first down line? Because that ball was 100% out of bounds.

 

Not sure how they could ever overturn it though.

It will be a huge shock if that’s not the Sunday night game. We probably won’t find out until around 11:15 tonight

I think you can take it to the bank

Could be Saturday night, no?

[Unforgiven]

The question is how do the bills beat a good team, the offense really has become awful.

[Success]

So, you go for the onside kick over a 4th and 5 for a TD..

 

I find that kind of odd.

 

[Yobogoya!]

Haha Bengals have to challenge to get the original spot back. I love this league!

or saturday night

[Ralonzo]

Are we supposed to be happy about the refs getting involved to save the Chiefs for the seventy-thirtieth time in the Mahomes era? It feels so scummy.
