They might rest guys if they’re going to be a wildcard or if they’re out of the playoffs entirely.

Respectfully disagree. I am no genius at statistical analysis, but I can’t foresee any probability that the Bengals rest players in week 17. Maybe if they’re mathematically eliminated from the playoffs and can improve their draft status by losing? But I doubt even that. Can’t see them laying down for the Chiefs at Arrowhead. Especially not with the recent rivalry history. Right now, it seems the Ravens are the bigger threat to the 1 seed & another year of “The Arrowhead Invitational.” IMHO
