They have an outside shot at the #2 seed and are undefeated at home. But if they see that the Patriots are destroying the Bills by halftime, I think they will call it an afternoon.

The better chance may lie with the Chargers, knowing that the Chiefs have nothing to play for.

This is all assuming that the Dolphins win. But now I am no longer sure that the Dolphins can stop the Jets rushing game.
 
Don't count on the Bengals winning. Ravens own Andy Dalton.
 
Bills/Patriots play at 4:25pm.

Bengals are still playing for the 3 seed regardless, as they win the tiebreaker over Indy. Do you think the Bengals would rather play the Miami Dolphins OR the Kansas City Chiefs? Pretend you aren't a Dolphins fan for a second and ask yourself that question.

Bengals are going to show up for that game. Now, whether or not they just get beat, or have a letdown after stomping the Vikings this week by 30+ points, I don't know. But they're going to play to win.
 
The bengals are undefeated at home this year. I feel they are going to play lights out to keep that record in tact for the playoffs and for the fans. I also don't believe the bengals want to face the ravens for a possible third game.
 
Very motivated. How many years are they going to play a team during Week 17 and face them AGAIN on the following Sunday and lose? They need this game to play well going fwd. I say very motivated.

The Bengals would absolutely rather face Miami in a playoff elimination game than Baltimore or KC. Wouldn't you?
 
Not so fast. Dolphins have beaten the Bengals the last 3 meetings under Marv Lewis including this year and last year in Cincy. Not a good matchup for them.
 
Dalton 1-4 against the Ravens in 5 games with 4 TDs and 7 INTs...do not get your hopes up.
 
I think they will be very motivated Marvin Lewis made the mistake of laying down a couple years ago and then the next week they got embarrassed!
 
well at least we have options still...i think cinci will want to take out balt so they will be motivated very much so...just need andy dalton not to play like andy dalton for one week
 
Not going to matter if Pouncey keeps bob his head just before he snaps the ball! Rex Ryan will blitz that every down!
 
I didn't realize that they rescheduled the Bills/Patriots game to the late time slot. That is a HUGE break for the Dolphins. The Bengals will be extremely motivated knowing that the #2 seed will not be decided until after their game ends.

I never felt that teams differentiate between the #3 vs #4 seeds. But, yes, I'm sure they would a) rather play the Dolphins or Chargers and b) knock the Ravens out of the playoffs.
