What’s the best playoff matchup for the Bengals?

The Cincinnati Bengals are guaranteed a playoff spot, but who they will face is still up in the air. They could potentially grab the top seed and a first round bye, though they would have to beat the Buffalo Bills on Monday then the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18, and the Kansas City Chiefs would have to lose a game.

As things stand, the Bengals are most likely to end up with the third seed and a home playoff game in the Wild Card Round (33% chance). Of course, by losing their last two, they would start the postseason on the road as either the fifth seed (19% chance) or as the sixth seed (9%).
