Rice not inactive against Cincinnati, but Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata and Marshall Yanda are. Rice reportedly will get little action. Jason LaCanfora reports that the Ravens are going to treat the game like a "pre-season game". Apparently they've gambled that it's better to rest up and try and get as healthy as possible for the playoffs rather than re-build some momentum.

A moneyline parlay (just win, no point spread) with the Colts, Pats and Chiefs (resulting in a #1 seed) pays 40-1.

Colts alone to win is +235 and Chiefs are +1000 (10-1).

No, Harbaugh and Ozzie are beating him to it:

Quote:
Adam Schefter now says that he has learned Ray Rice will play a series or two on Sunday before getting an early start on resting up for next week's playoff game.

ESPN NFL Insider tweets that Ray Rice is not expected to play today, given the fact that the Baltimore Ravens have already wrapped up the AFC North title. Additionally, the team may actually "want" to end up with the No. 4 seed, which would be a guarantee should they lose to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Nobody is suggesting that they'll try to lose, but the road to the AFC Championship Game may look a little bit easier by hosting Indianapolis and then going to Houston, as opposed to a rematch with the Bengals next week, followed by a date with Peyton Manning in Denver. Of course, that projected path could change if the Colts upset the Texans, leaving Houston with the No. 2 seed.

They will reportedly sit Rice, or just play him one quarter.

Great week 17 so far:

- Houston loses to Indy.
- Baltimore loses to Cincinnati, clinches the #4 seed.
- Chicago beats Detroit, knocks the Giants out of the playoffs.

We're at worst the #3 seed. Win against Miami and we're a #1 and #2, meaning that we'll either host the Houston-Cincinnati winner in 2 weeks (if Denver wins and we end up #2) or host the Batlimore-Indy winner (if Denver loses and we end up #1).

Blessed Be The Colts.

The Late Season Collapse that I've been predicting all along for my beloved Planet Hoosten...has come.
