Slightly better if the Ravens lose. Just because then they'll have to play their starters week 18 against the Steelers. Bill clinch a playoff spot with a win and a Steelers/Bengals loss
So I've said this about the Ravens: Their Offense isn't anything special... the typical run heavy offense but their defense is amazing. Probably only the Browns Defense is better imo.
49ers are a top 5 Offense and Defense.
I mean..... clinched is past tense therefore it already happned.... .otherwise I would have said the Ravens clinch the 1 seed against the Steelers. It's okay Mr. English Teacher... I'll make sure I put the proper commas in for you next time
Their Defense is amazing. Bills Defense stacks up really well against their Offense. Plus if things break right you could see the 2nd round be: Browns @ Ravens, Chiefs @ Bills. Browns are good enough to knock out the Ravens.
Ravens rest their starters because they clinched the 1 seed against the Steelers in week 18
Let me break it down for you
It's week 18
Ravens have clinched the 1 seed therefore they rest their starters
Steelers win game because of that and get to 10-7 (and have a tiebreaker over the Bills incase the Bills lose to the Dolphins)
I'm not sure what's so difficult.
Steelers beat the Seahawks. Bills win vs Pats, lose vs Dolphins. Ravens rest their starters because they clinched the 1 seed against the Steelers in week 18 which lets the Steelers into the playoffs
We want the Ravens to lose today because it keeps pressure on them in week 18 (with the Browns) when they play the Steelers. Remember if the Bills lose to the Dolphins they need the Bengals and Steelers to lose.
