I think we are least still going to have life heading into the final week. I see us for sure beating Cleveland this week, then topping Denver at home next Sunday. And Miami and Indy aren’t winning out. So if all that happens we can go into the final weekend just needing to win at a Pittsburgh team that might need that win to claim the AFC North title, while Denver loses a home game to a Chiefs team that might be resting most starters because they probably will have the overall one seed already locked up. Piece of cake, right?

And I should have added, if all that does happen, we would go in as the seven seed, which right now would send us to Buffalo first round, then to Kansas City if we won, and then to whoever was left, most likely Pittsburgh or Baltimore. But I’d still love to see the Bengals get in no matter what the path is.
