Ravens’ Week 16 rooting guide: Who Baltimore wants to win/lose

The Baltimore Ravens are stuck in an unenviable position at the end of the regular season. They not only need to win their final two games to earn a playoff berth, but they also need a little help from around the league as well.

The Ravens have games against the 5-9 New York Giants (Week 16) and 3-10-1 Cincinnati Bengals (Week 17) remaining. That’s not the hardest schedule, though both teams should have enough left in the tank to be potential trap games if Baltimore isn’t careful. But with some scoreboard watching to do to secure a playoff spot, it can be a little convoluted to follow along.

We’ve done all the math to help you figure out which teams you need to be cheering for and which ones should earn your biggest jeers. With just two weeks remaining, it’s crunch time for the Ravens, so let’s get right to it.
