According to Jake Steinberg, it would actually be more beneficial to us if Cincy won tonight.

I apologize. I was wrong this morning. The Bengals losing tonight actually doesn't help the #Jets as previously thought. Let me explain.

1. Philly didn't play us, but they did play Cincy & Pitt so them losing would HELP us in terms of SoS, which is what it could come down to.

2. If Cincy loses but gets to 9-7, they're better off from a conference tie-breaker perspective bc it means they'll have won both AFC games

3. If Cincy loses, it makes it more likely they'll end up 8-8 which could mean we end up tied with JUST Pitt - who have head to head over us

The good news is that no matter what happens tonight/this Sunday, the #Jets will not be mathematically eliminated when we kickoff on Monday.

The result of today's game will influence which way we need to root going forwards.

A CIN loss means they need to beat PIT..but if they play badly enough to lose to PHI, then is that what we wna see leading up to that game?
