Bengals in middle of AFC insanity

So, the quickest way for us to win the division is:


- We beat Baltimore tomorrow
- KC beats Pitt tomorrow
- We beat KC next week

Then we rest our players up in Cleveland on 1/9, and they can just sit on the bench and watch the polar bears chase seals out on Lake Erie.

While I would rest the players, I feel like Cincy would play Cle to:
A. Remove them from the playoffs (if not already eliminated)
B. MB personal grudge
C. Higher playoff seating.


I could understand the justification of playoff seating but I don't think its necessary, especially since we do better (for the most part) on the road this season.
