After beating the chiefs I say bring on anyone. Granted, it is a different story in KC thank it is in Cincy, but I love this team.
Colts outdoors at Cincy and our 4th ranked rushing D? I'll take that matchup.
And as good as Belicheck is at scheming - Burrow has torched a lot of good DCs.
I would say the Ravens and Steelers are least likely to to make it regardless. Crazy shit has to happen for them to make it.The colts defense scares me more than their offense. Give me the pats, Raiders or chargers
I think they are assuming Burrow is sitting. I think that's a fair assumption. We really have very little control over our opponent for week 1 of the playoffs even if we win, so I'd be okay with backing off on guys that are banged up.The Bengals are 2.5 pt underdogs vs the Browns on Sunday. I wonder if Vegas has inside information that the Bengals are resting key starters or if it's just speculation on their part

It would be interesting to see them let Allen air it out a bit. He always struck me as a guy that could get hot but not really do anything consistent. If all the receivers are playing, you could let him throw it around the field a little. Mayfield may be out for Cleveland and motivation might be pretty low for that club given everything they've been through this month with COVID, close losses, and a disappointing season.That makes sense but at least going in to the week the Bengals can have as high a seed as 2 or as low as 4. It makes me think they might wait at least until the Chiefs game Saturday night to see how they should play this one.
FWIW - ZT said in his presser yesterday the decision would be made before that - stated, they didn't feel that waiting until Saturday night to determine who is playing in less than 12 hours would be sufficient.That makes sense but at least going in to the week the Bengals can have as high a seed as 2 or as low as 4.
