Ravens gotta lose one.

 

Yeah we still need the Ravens to lose but... they're less likely to win out than we are. We beat New England next weekend it would be huge for more than just the W it gives us. Bellichick very rarely drops two in a row and the Pats have the Ravens on the schedule after next week at home.

 

If we win out and the Pats lose to the Bills, we win the division...believe it or not.

ETA: The Pats would have to lose their last 3 games.

 

That would be absolutely hilarious.

 

The Ravens are at Detroit, vs New England, at Cincinnati. If we win out yeah we're pretty much guaranteed #6.

 

Ya they could very easily be 0-3 in that stretch...bound to lose at least 1.

Edit: This win today was monster huge, but it won't be worth a damn if we go up to Barfalo and lay an egg.

 

I think Baltimore goes 1-2

So first thing first...beat New England and see where we stand. If we are one game up with Buffalo and New York remaining we are firmly in the drivers seat.

 

Also, if Cincy loses next week at Pitt.. It won't matter if the Ravens win out.. We will get in and Cincy will be out.

 

Best scenario is we are tied with Baltimore and they are one game behind Cinci or tied. That way its win and in for us.

 

Exactly. The odds of us not getting in are very low if we win out.

 

There are a lot of options still. If we lose one, the Ravens lose one, and the Jets (or someone else in the AFC hunt) wins out, then we win the 3 way tie because we have the best division record. Always hope to win out, of course, but we are currently the heavy favorites for the 6th seed even though Baltimore is statistically ahead.

 

Just get in!!!! This team can beat anyone any given day!! Just. Get. In.

 

if we don't win out it means the ravens will have to lose two...we better win out.

 

Best Scenario is the Patriots lose out and we win out.

 

I'm not counting that as a realistic scenario though. I guess I should state its the best realistic scenario going into week 17 adide from Baltimore dropping the next two while we win.

 

So if Pitt can beat cincy, we control our own destiny. Correct?

 

More or less. Assuming the Bengals lose.

Baltimore either wins putting them one behind, or one behind us.

From there Baltimore either catches the Bengals or loses more. Either way we would be in.

 

Yes if Cinci loses out and the Ravens win out or go 2-1 beating the Bengals, we could have the same record and still get in since we beat Cinci.

Bengals play Steelers, Vikes, Ravens.

 

I don't think the Bengals need to lose out. Remember, the last game won't matter if they are within one game. We don't need Baltimore to overtake them per se. Just stay within one, thrn no matter who wins we are in.

If I'm wrong someone explain why. They are two ahead of Baltimore
