    Default Now we root for the Chargers next week against the Bengals

    With a win against Pittsburgh at Home
    and a Loss by the Bengals @ SD
    the Ravens are in the Playoffs

    I believe a Ravens Win and a Dolphin Loss next week also clinches a Playoff spot for the Ravens. Because the Steelers and Bengals still play each other. And the Ravens are guaranteed all tie-breakers (in Division).

    If the Ravens Win and the Bengals Win the Bengals will be 7-5 and Steelers will be 6-6, so the worst that can happen for the Ravens is a 3-way tie between the Ravens, Bengals and Steelers at 10-6, or the Bengals finish 11-5 and Ravens and Steelers both finish 10-6. The Ravens are 4-0 in the Division, Steelers 1-2 and Bengals 1-3. So with a Win over the Steelers the Ravens have the tie-breaker (in Divison) clinched.

    8 AFC teams already have 7 Losses. If Dolphins Lose that'll be 7 Losses for them too.

    Of course.
    But you gotta get IN the Playoffs before you can get a Bye, a Home Game or the #1 Seed

    Clinching the division guarantees at least one home game. Houston is looking unstoppable, getting additional help from the refs.

    Here's hoping the Chargers rebound next week.
    I think the Ravens need to start watching the Bengals sneaking up on them.

    Houston could lose 2 or 3 out of those 5.

    They haven't looked too tight the past two weeks.

    The Dolphins play the Patriots Sunday, so a Dolphin's loss is likely.
    However, a Dolphin win, of course, helps the Ravens even more in the long run (even though the Ravens own the tie-breaker vs the Pats)

    Isn't San Diego basically done? They won't win next week.
