After the game today the Baltimore Ravens will sit in the #2 seed, #3 seed, #4 seed or out of the playoffs this year. Let’s take a look at the various scenarios:
If the Ravens Lose to the Browns:
- If the Bengals beat the Steelers: Ravens end up with the #4 seed (and division champs)
- If the Steelers beat the Bengals: Ravens are out of the playoffs
If the Ravens beat the Browns:
- If the Jets beat the Patriots and the Jaguars beat the Texans: Ravens end up with the #2 seed and will get next week off.
- If the Jets beat the Patriots and the Texans beat the Jaguars: Ravens end up with the #3 seed.
- or…
- If the Patriots beat the Jets and the Jaguars beat the Texans: Ravens end up with the #3 seed.
- If the Patriots beat the Jets and the Texans beat the Jaguars: Ravens end up with the #4 seed.
Win and the Ravens are in (and will get another home game)…win and some help and Ravens could get a week off next week.
My predictions:
- Ravens beat the Browns
- Patriots beat the Jets
- Texans beat the Jaguars
- Steelers beat the Bengals
I think the Ravens will end up with the #4 seed.
Here are the game times for each of the games noted above:
- Browns at Ravens: 4:25pm
- Jets at Patriots: 1:00pm
- Jaguars at Texans: 1:00pm
- Bengals at Steelers: 4:25pm
I will be cheering on the Ravens today. Can’t wait to see how this all plays out today.
