3/5 are home games. They should have the advantage in those. I want to be optimistic and say YES!

What do you think?

Even if the Bengals do win out, it won't be enough. The Ravens would have to lose 3 of the next 4 games.

The Ravens have to lose 3 of the last 4 games, which are against NE, Philly, Pittsburgh and the Bengals.

Then there's Pittsburgh who we also need to lose 3 of their last 5 games (counting today's game which isn't over). They'd have to lose 3 of these: Giants, Buffalo, Ravens, The Bengals and they end with the Browns.

The Ravens Pittsburgh game is problematic for the Bengals cause one of those teams will win that game, which means that team would have to lose its other games.

If the Ravens and Pittsburgh tie and have only two more losses, it would put us in a 3 tie with them. And with other tie breakers would likely leave us on the outside looking in. We have a worse division record (Ravens are 4-0).
