The Baltimore Ravens would clinch the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs with a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals here in the regular-season finale Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.

The Bengals won't make it to the postseason no matter what, but they're coming off an uplifting 26-17 victory against the Detroit Lions last week. Well worth noting that the Lions had everything to play for in that contest and were consequently eliminated from the playoffs with the defeat.

Cincinnati will be motivated to play spoiler once again here against its AFC North rivals. They traditionally have a tight rivalry and the underdog is 6-1 ATS the last seven head-to-head meetings.

The Bengals have struggled to move the ball all season, but they're effective getting to quarterbacks and enter this contest tied for seventh in the NFL with 40 sacks. I think the Bengals' D will keep this a close game.

My selection is an 8* play on Cincinnati Bengals.
