The Bengals are currently 9th in the seeding.
If they win this weekend, they have a 55% chance to make the playoffs.
If they lose, just a 8% chance to make it, needing a win against the Browns (who could rest starters next week now that they have clinched playoff spot) and other teams to lose.
For all intents and purposes, this is a must-win for the Bengals.
Also need the Colts, Texans, and/or Bills to lose.
Actually, this is a must win for both teams in many ways. Chiefs have been on like a 3-game skid and are coming off of a loss at home in December, which almost never happens. Even when the Chiefs were terrible, they still won home games in December. They're trying to end a losing streak and secure a better seed. They don't like us, are healthy, and I expect we will get their very best effort. We are barely sucking air.
Pacheco and McKinnon are about to run all over this sieve of a defense, unfortunately. There is no question that this game is make or break for Cincy.
