I do wonder if the Ravens are gonna rest their starters. The last time they were the 1 seed they did and came out flat against the Titans.

 

Could also get lucky with the Titans beating the Jags next week

 

Harbaugh won't make that mistake.  Like maybe take the 4th quarter off but you don't want your team resting for two whole weeks.

Definitely wouldn't rule out the Titans getting a meaningless win to ***** with a division opponent.

Agreed. 

Titans would be motivated to eliminate the Jags

 

Also not relevant but interesting. The 1999 Jags went 14-2 in the regular season and loss to the Titans in playoffs. The Jags were undefeated, only to lose to Tennessee 3 times (regular season and the playoff loss)

Why risk hurting them in a meaningless game?  They have the 1 seed locked up.  Win or lose changes nothing for them.

 

In 2020 the Ravens rested their starters in the final week of regular season, came out flat and promptly lost to the Titans two weeks after. They won't want to repeat that trick. I think the starters will take some snaps, albeit perhaps only for a half.

 

Far more likely, unfortunately, that the Browns will field back ups against the Bengals.
