Unfortunately, not much you can do about SF. Huge fave off a nasty loss
and with something to play for. Balt you can still work with. Either a ML
bet, somehow get +3 on the Ravens (Coast has +3 -120 still) or even
use them in a teaser. Figuring motivation for both the Bengals and the
Ravens is tough. Both teams do better if they lose. Ravens would get Colts,
who everyone thinks is an easier one for them than a rematch with the Bengals.
The Bengals want the Ravens again (instead of the Pats) and the only
way they get that is if Ravens win this week and Pats lose so it is
a longshot free roll for them to just lose and hope Mia wins vs NE.
For both the Ravens and the Pats, they'd rather have the 4 seed than
the 3 seed because they'd get the Colts instead of the Bengals.
Wouldn't if be fun if the NFL let the 3 and 4 seeds choose who they play?
That way you know no one would be tanking or thinking of tanking.
Both the Pats and Ravens would be looking at this as a big game instead
of trying to figure out if it is even wise to show up.
I think Cincy more likely to tank it then Balt although I think both play
it preseason style.
