Yeah, but thinking you're going to go into New England off a bye week and roll Belichick is crazy. They are 12-1 in the divisional round after a bye. I really think that's their best shot to beat us. [Reply]

It’s not going to be easy either way. But the Ravens are a better football team.
12-1 means nothing to me right now. They aren’t as good as most of those teams were IMO. Most importantly Brady.
Andy is the type of coach who can mitigate a bit of that bye week advantage schematically. But anywho. Again, not going to be easy regardless. [Reply]
On Sunday, the Raiders need the Houston Texans to beat the Titans, the Baltimore Ravens to beat the Steelers and the Colts to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. If all those things happen, coupled with a Raiders win, then Oakland will sneak into the last playoff spot.
Currently, the Titans have the final playoff spot and would play the Kansas City Chiefs if the playoffs began tomorrow. [Reply]
If it weren't for the Bills being the 5 and being pretty sound and physical, I'd rather be the 4. Go play the Ravens first, then see if someone can go beat New England.
I don't think the Texans can beat the Ravens. They can beat the Pats. [Reply]
Ravens will not play Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram, Earl Thomas, Marshal Yanda and Brandon Williams against the Steelers on Sunday. Time to get ready for Divisional Round.
