If Dallas beats Pittsburgh, Cincinnati beats Pittsburgh and anyone beats the Jets, the Bengals clinch a playoff spot.

A first round game in Foxboro or Denver...YAY!

Bengals are good enough to beat Denver if they play like it, Pats eh maybe a close 1/2

I don't think they can beat either on the road. At Denver in the playoffs with Denver's defense, Peyton Manning and the NFL's love for him and mix in the loudest stadium....and light air no one is used to?

At NE against Brady? No way.

If Cincy wins the next two...how are they not definitely in?

I thought the Bengals would have beaten the Dolphins, Browns (the second time) and NOT beaten the Giants. They're definitely one of the more unpredictable and streaky teams in football.

They have no shot against either. I mean they lost by 3 touchdowns to a back up QB last year in the first round. No way manning or Brady let their teams lose to the bengals.

To be honest, just getting into the playoffs is good enough for this Bengal fan. Playoffs two years in a row would exceed all my expectations and break the long streak of not winning 2 years in a row.

Ravens are falling apart. They need Lewis back to whip them into shape

The Bengals control their own destiny. There's nothing more they can ask after losses to Cleveland, Miami and a choke job against Dallas, than to have 2 division games left, against the 2 teams they are in-competition with, for a chance to win the AFC North.

Do the Steelers still control their's? If the Steelers win out they would be 9-7 and 4-2 in the division.....Cincy would be 9-7 (assuming win over Baltimore) and 2-4 in the division. It's silly that Pittsburgh winning the division isn't that far fetched.....and finishing dead last isn't out of sight either. FUCK what a damn irritating season...not watching would definitely be my best interest.

Both teams control their destiny. Obviously that is no longer true for the loser of next weeks game.

If the Bengals win, they are in.
If the Steelers win, they are in with a win vs CLE or a CIN loss vs BAL.

Interestingly enough, depending what IND does in their final 2 games, a CIN or PIT team who wins out could get the 5th seed...and would play Baltimore AGAIN.

The scenarios are seemingly endless and completely unpredictable...completely.

Eh..pretty easy to narrow down the scenarios now. Not a whole lot more can happen other than what was posted above by Azu.

Yeah. Although, I think the only team who could beat Indy for the 5th seed is Cincy. Cincy would need to go 2-0, Indy would need to go 0-2. Indy would beat both for the tiebreaker if they finished tied. Indy also plays Kansas City next week, so I don't see any way they don't get to 10 wins.

The scenarios within the AFC North are numerous....maybe not all over the AFC.

We'll just say the Dolphins need to much help, the Jets suck ass and have fallen apart, so you can pretty much rule them out, so it's down to the Bengals and Steelers for the last spot. Lol
