Let's say the Bengals are able to wrap up the division after beating Buffalo (Ravens lose another game). 

Do they rest their starters for the Balt game...or do they play them with the hope that the Raiders beat the Chiefs in wk 18 and they get the #1 seed. 

Do you play with the "hope" or do you take the sure thing?

There is a chance that the Chiefs/Raiders game is over by the time that ours starts in week 18, but that’s no fun for your scenario.

I think that if we can host the Ravens by having them win, then I might rest my starters. I’d rather play Baltimore in the WC round than Miami or LA.

Nah…I take it back. If there is still ANY hope in the 1 seed, I’m playing for it.
