I don't see any way the Ravens beat the Rams week 16 and that would mean the best they could do is tie the Bengals, and they lose that tie-breaker.
With the Browns losing last night (thank you, Raiders!), I don't see them beating Green Bay on a short week and they will effectively lose the ability to win the division as the best they could do is tie the Bengals as well and they also lose the tie-breaker.
It comes down to this: beat the Ravens and you more than likely are the AFC North Champs.
I wouldn't bet against Burrow in this big game.
Every game this team plays the rest of the year is the biggest game in the past 30 years with the way the AFC is playing out. Go from losing a game to being out of the playoffs versus winning a game and being in 1st place. Marvin took this team to a nice level but that was it and he wore out his welcome.
Fast forward to now and with a franchise leading QB, the window is still never as large as you think and, more so, it becomes smaller. It's freaking time to make the playoffs and advance. A rather elite QB, excellent WR's, top 5 RB and playoff caliber DL and overall defense. Just need the OL to get a bit more healthy and to play somewhere between the last Steelers game and their norm.
