Bengals Can Win AFC North With A Win Over Bills - kevin - 01-02-2023
Ravens lost. Beat Bills and don't even make it about the Ravens at Bengals game next week.

As if we needed any more motivation!

Well I wish someone would have told me that this whole week leading up to the game

Good news, they just announced the Chiefs game is Saturday and we are not. So, with a win tomorrow we will know if we have a bye to play for late Saturday. You still have the debate of resting starters vs trying to lock in a 2 seed if KC wins.

Well, I don't know how the F they could have, since the Ravens didn't lose until a second ago.

If Chiefs clinch bye week Saturday, and Bengals have already won AFC North. Then why get players injured against Ravens. Use the bench as Bengals did last year against Browns, because it worked. Bengals went in healthy and won in play-offs.

His point is we all knew a Ravens loss tonight and Bengals win tomorrow clinches the division for us. Didn't need any results to know this.

Of course you play for the two seed.
Hypothetically, would you rather a rematch with the bills in orchard park or paycor stadium?
There would also be a greater chance of hosting the AFCCG. Unlikely the 2 and 1 seed lose second week of playoffs.
It’s a no brainer.

And likely only host one playoff game?
The potential of two, maybe three… looms large.
No way the bengals stand pat if we take care of business tomorrow.

Looks like we’re either getting the Ravens or Dolphins round 1 with the Chargers winning today. Unless we somehow get the 1 seed.

Beat the bills tomorrow and ravens next week, we are getting dolphins, pats or Steelers.

Jarrett Stidham might have something to say about that.

Hope so. They played great today.
Chiefs are not all that impressive.
In the last 4 weeks, broncos gave them a run for their money, twice… as did the Texans.

There is literally no debate.
Even if #2 is the only thing available, you play for that. It's the difference between potentially playing in Buffalo or Cin again vs the Bills.
There is zero incentive for resting players.

I don’t understand some peoples train of thought.
Do I feel good about going into anywhere and winning? Yea, sure.
Do I like the chances better at home… with no travel. 1000000x yes.

Anyone who tries to make a case for resting players with the #1 or #2 seed still in play needs psychiatric help.
