The Baltimore Ravens wrap up their regular season by playing the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. It’s a game with playoff implications for Baltimore and a spoiler opportunity for Cincinnati. But as long as the Ravens look the part of a playoff team, they should earn a seat to the postseason table. But what happens in the game itself will be important too, leading us to some bold predictions.
This isn’t just an opportunity for Baltimore to lock in a playoff spot but to prove themselves to the rest of the league. An outright dominant performance to a win will give the Ravens a five-game winning streak, including some pretty impressive performances as a tune-up toward the postseason. If they can not only beat Cincinnati but destroy them, Baltimore will back up my claim they’re one of the hottest teams in the AFC playoff picture.
Take a look at our bold predictions for this week.
