Bengals have chance to get big road breakthrough in Denver
If the Vikings and Seahawks both lose, the Vikings are the No. 5 seed. A variety of scenarios will decide which team secures home field advantage, which teams secure first-round byes, and which teams secure the wild card.

When the 2015 National Football League schedule was released, the Cincinnati Bengals’ trip to play the Denver Broncos to cap the next-to-last week of the regular season had all the makings of a big game. If you’re still on the fence about who to bet for the Week 16 finale, Covers enlists the help of expert National Football League bloggers to make a pitch for their favorite team. Note that all percentages are courtesy of FiveThirtyEight. New England Patriots (12-3, 9-2, at MIA) 2.
The Cincinnati Bengals passed their first test without injured starting quarterback Andy Dalton last week, defeating the San Francisco 49ers 24-14 on the road.
If the Bengals win tomorrow night, they’ll likely need a Week 17 win over the Ravens and a Patriots loss to become the 1 seed, meaning that Cincinnati won’t be able to rest its starters. Vontaze Burfict led the defensive effort for Cincinnati, recording five tackles, one sack, and one interception. Even a loss to the Bengals while the Chiefs, Steelers and Jets win out will leave Denver out of the playoffs. With the Oakland Raiders headed to Arrowhead in Week 17, the Chiefs would have to feel confident about winning and having a shot at the AFC West.
It sets the table for the Chiefs to clinch a playoff spot on Sunday, and here is how they can get that done. And Stewart is expected to return from a strained hamstring that sidelined him last weekend when the Broncos lost at Pittsburgh. However, the Chiefs can still win the AFC West if Denver loses one of their final two games and Kansas City wins out.
All Houston needs is a win over Jacksonville next week and the AFC South is there’s. Winning two games in general gives them at least the Wild card spot, while winning only one is enough if the Steelers and Jets lose at least one of their remaining two. For the Bengals, also playing at home, it means beating the Baltimore Ravens, who are probably more unsafe than their disappointing 5-10 record would indicate, as the Pittsburgh Steelers found out on Sunday.
Colts (7-8) – Indianapolis all of the sudden is a huge fan of Denver and Jacksonville. Therefore, the Bengals are still alive in the hunt for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Washington Redskins are in the playoffs, but only as a #4 seed division victor.
Seattle Seahawks (10-5) – clinched playoff berth. They’ve finished a season with only one road win or none in 13 of their 48 seasons. Everyone wants to leave Philadelphia (6-8) for dead, so this is probably a game coach Chip Kelly will win to keep the Eagles’ postseason hopes alive. If the Packers lose, they’re the No. 5 seed.
