If I was coaching I would kill a team when I could, because you would feel pretty bad if you let a team beat you in week 17 and then that team beats you in the playoff.
The Jets-Cincy game is different from the Cards-Packers. The Cards and Packers may go into the game knowing that the have a rematch in the wildcard no matter what happens.
The Bengals might go into the game knowing that the only way a rematch in the wildcard happens is if they lose.
