Pardon my playoff ignorance, but it has been ages since the Ravens were #1 seed with a bye. Does this mean they do not play next week and then play one of the winning teams from this weekend, the following weekend, 20th or 21st? From there, is there one more game before the Super bowl or is that it? That would mean the Ravens only have one more game before the SB IF they win that one, correct? For some reason that does not seem right to me but I have a hard time understanding sometimes.

It is the Wild Card games next @Oaktavia, for which the Ravens will get a bye as the top seed in the AFC.
After that however, they will be back in for the Divisional round, followed by the Conference Championships - before the Super Bowl.
So, the Ravens may have up to 3 games left in total…

@Oaktavia The Ravens have off/a bye this week. Next week they will play the lowest remaining seed. If they win that game they play whoever is the winner of the other AFC game,the winner of which,goes to the Super Bowl. Lets say all the home teams win. Texas would be the lowest seed and they'd go to Baltimore and KC would go to Buffalo. If The Ravens beat The Texans ,they would play the winner of the KC/Buffalo game in the AFC Championship game.

OK, thanks @Jett129 so I was correct in my drawn out question. Ideally, this is what could happen for my team:

Win next week's game -------> go to the Super Bowl.

Ravens way to SB after bye:
Win divisonal round and then win AFC conference championship. So two more wins until SB @Oaktavia

With Buffalo’s win last night the Steelers play Buffalo next Sunday. We’re definitely gonna lose but making it to the playoffs still makes me feel good. TJ Watt isn’t gonna play so our defense is gonna look mediocre. I think it’s gonna be Ravens-49ers in the Super Bowl or what I really want, Lions-Ravens. The lions need a ring

Ahhhhh okay that makes more sense. Thank you my dude.

[Jett129]

@Oaktavia I think your biggest concern should be if Cleveland beats Texas,and they end up playing the Ravens. They don't know they're not supposed to be playing this good.

[Oaktavia]

@Jett129 it certainly is and I will be watching closely this weekend. Anxious as hell.

We have off this week, then play the divisional round, if we win we go to the conference round then to the SB.

[Oaktavia]

@Matt lol wow all I had to do was scroll down on my Google search. That would have helped. Thank you for the copy pasta my friend.

It was awesome following along and watching your pool develop. Congrats to the lone iron heart survivor!

What is this craziness you have to have peacock to watch chiefs/dolphin playoff game.

[Mizmazzle]

I was just about to post about the Peacock BS!! Love how they market it as a first ever event!! Likes it a privilege to have to buy their service to watch the game. Annoying as hell.

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle I agree 100% it sucks. It’s $5.99 for a month,you just have to remember to cancel. There’s also a movie on Peacock that I want to see as well. Earlier this year Roger Godell said the the NFL is well on its way to making 25 Billion a year. They don’t care,They don’t have to.

[Matt]

We don’t have cable so we have most of the streaming networks. Peacock has some good shows. Poker Face is good. If you don’t have it there should be a free trial that would get you through the post season.

[Mizmazzle]

Does it have to be Peacock premium to get the game?

[Matt]

That’s what we have and we get the Sunday Night games. Premium is the $5.99 plan.

[Mizmazzle]

Gracias compadre!!

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle And there’s an $11.99 plan if you want to 86 the commercials.
