You guys are insane. Arguing for no reason.

 

Would the Ravens prefer the Bills or the Steelers in the playoffs mix?

 

My response was that you said that the fact that the Ravens are favorites in the AFC was debatable.   They have two more wins than any other team in the AFC.  They play in the toughest division in the NFL (all teams are a least 500) and they have a point differential of +210 which is 77 higher than #2 (Bills at +133).   They might now make the Super Bowl but there is no realistic debate about who is favorite.

 

On your question of whether the Ravens would prefer the Bills or Steelers -- I doubt that they think that far ahead.   The Steelers always play them tough.  Pittsburgh was one of the three teams to beat them this year (17-10), was 1-1 against the Ravens last year (14-16 and 16-13) and 2-0 against the Ravens in 2021 (20-19 and 16-13) and frankly, the Steelers have played better than the Bills the last two weeks.

Saturday night would be bad for the Dolphins.  One less day to get guys back from injury.  I expect the league to give both teams the full week for this. 

 

Would make more sense to give the Texans and Colts a full week, as it is all or nothing for both, whereas the Dolphins are in the Play Offs.

 

Plus, if the Jags or Steelers lose, then the jeopardy isn't quite so great on the Bills. Play on Saturday and it's win or sweat it out through Sunday.

Just don't see Jax losing and I think Ravens will lie down against the Steelers. Absolutely crazy that a Bills' win or loss is likely the difference between a 2 seed or no playoffs at all. No playoffs at all also maddening given there will likely be at least 2 8 loss teams making the playoffs.

The Bills pulled off the unthinkable this season to put themselves in this crazy scenario.

I would expect the ravens to rest anyone banged up. I would expect their healthy starters to get a few drives. 

 

Huntley is pretty solid though. And the ravens 2nd stringers can still cause Rudolph problems. 

 

Go titans

 

And go bills

tennessee needs to beat Jags  OR

Baltimore backups need to beat steelers for us to get in with a loss

 

im not even gonna muddy the waters with the tie scenario

You can’t field a whole team of backups and the Steelers are starting like a 5th string qb talent wise lol I don’t think it’s a sure Steelers win no matter what the ravens decided to do with starters

Huntley should’ve beaten the bengals in the playoffs last year
