You said 3-way...
This is probably a more board appropriate three-way.
Go Bengals!

If we beat the Rats and the Packers beat the Stains then next week with the Chiefs we suddenly can potentially clinch. Especially if the Chiefs also beat the Stealers. If all those happen this weekend then we clinch next weekend by beating the Chiefs.

Been a absolute unpredictable season. We miss two FG’s by inches that would have won the Green Bay game, we blow a 11 point lead in the last 7 minutes to the Jets and then lose a chance to win the game on a horrific call, we lose the SF game on muffed punts and the worst taunting penalty in the history of the league. It has been a crazy year but all in all the team is headed in right direction.

Yeah, it's a bit confusing. All these years I too thought Division record was the first tie breaker in a three-way tie only to now learn it's head-to-head. My whole life has been a lie

Let’s just assume the Bengals have to win out to make the playoffs.

They've lost 4 of their last 5 home games, with 2 tough OT losses and 2 lopsided losses...they owe the home crowd a big win. No better time to do that than a game for 1st place. Give the fans in the Jungle a reason to celebrate!

Let's just hope there's more Bengals fans than Ravens fans in PBS this weekend.
Though, now that I think about it, since we play better on the road ... maybe have MORE Ravens fans at PBS this weekend?

We all love to mention the LSU Championship game where Burrow balled out over Clemson. I view this game where we need smoking cigar Joe to rise to the standards he's set for himself and the fans.
This will be the biggest game in his career as well as recent memory for the Bengals.

I’m not worried about Joe Burrow. I’m worried about the five waddling flinching turnstiles in front of him.

I don't worry about them as much as the defense shutting down the tight end.

It would take a 2nd year wide receiver wearing the #85 to guarantee a victory over the Chiefs haha.

This is definitely concerning. The Bengals depth at Linebacker is decimated, with Bachie tearing his ACL and Logan Wilson still out with his shoulder.

I haven't looked up the rules but according to the ESPN playoff calc if all 3 finished 9-8 with Cleveland winning the final week Cleveland would win the division.
This Ravens game is huge obviously but the Bengals probably need to win at least 2 of the final 3 with the Cleveland game being the most important for them to have a real shot at the playoffs.
That math probably changes if the Bengals knock off the Ravens and Chiefs but I'm not counting on that right now.

Is Lamar playing next week? Not that Huntley can't do the job.

Arizona is beat up and haven't been playing good. They don't have Rodgers,Adam's, and Jones. The Pack opening line is -8. Might be the biggest line of the week.

Gotta come in hot into the playoffs, that's usually the teams that tend to do well.
The cards could be an upset in the playoffs.
