Klaista2k Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Which team has the better shot at winning on Sunday? Is it the Bengals beating the Ravens or the Raiders upsetting the Chargers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPP Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I think the Bengles only because their motivation will be to play a final game and get a win for their coach who is gone......there is no way on earth i can see this oakland team coming close to beating a chargers team gunning for the post season....only way i see them winning is if rivers gets hit with an injury early in the game.....

billsherd Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I think Chargers might be down to their third running back if reports are correct. I think both games will be close but if i had to pick only one Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 The bills win Ravens lose is so incredibly simple and 99% of the time we would all be selling our souls for a chance so real...yet for some reason I can’t get excited. I guess we have been let down so many times that it’s human nature to expect the worst. Pretty much any year of the drought I would sign up for what we have. Somehow though, I just don’t believe it to be possible. I want to be wrong so bad. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Bengals. They have no fear of cheap shotting players to win and they would like to keep Ravens out of playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Maybe if Sunday really is it for Lewis, the player he treated with respect despite being pure scum for so long..will go all out to give him a proper send off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Don't we also need Jags over Titans if the Chargers lose? After what I saw with the Raiders last night I should have no confidence they can beat the Chargers, but for some reason I like that one better. What sucks is that every win we need is s road win, including our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Bengals. All depend which Flacco shows up. The Raiders can't get out of thief own way. Eagles tried multiple times to give that game away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you pretty much expect heartbreak, like all of the teams we need to lose do lose but the Bills also lose late, or the Bills win, one of Oakland or Jacksonville wins, but the other loses late on a controversial play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People forget the Chargers game will be a home game for the Raiders. I guarantee out of the 28k in attendance, 18-20k will be wearing silver and black. The Raiders played very competitively vs Philly. The Marvin Lewis factor might help us in Baltimore? We need to take care of business in Miami.

YoloinOhio Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Looks like both Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler will be out with injury. They are down to Bo Oliver from UB at RB who hasn’t played all year. The raiders suck but Chargers are banged up and offense has been pretty bad last two weeks.

billsbackto81 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Bengals. They played Detroit tough and should be amped to knock the Ravens out of the race, or at least try. Jags can play their starters all game and still lose. I don't see the admiration with this team. They really aren't that good but are heading in the right direction like the Bills. The Raiders are hot garbage. We need the Bengals bad!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estro Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Vegas says the Raiders. I happen to think Cincy. I know the Ravens are on a run, and there defense is playing well, but I think they'll get a game from Cincy. We need Flacco to play a game he's capable of playing. He did not play well vs. the Colts last Sunday. Edited December 27, 2017 by Estro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EersN'Bills Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I know I've harped on this in other threads but if only the Ravens actually played four of their opponents starting QBs. And that includes Rodgers, Watson and Luck. With that said, I say Bengals. They'll be trying to get a win in Lewis' final game, the Ravens look mediocre and keeping a division rival out of the playoffs is a bonus. And remember Lewis was the DC on that 2000 Ravens team, so he'll want to beat his old team. Edited December 27, 2017 by EersN'Bills Addition to respond to thread topic.
