Bugger it, I might fly over from Australia if tickets are so cheap.

1) no, not at all. This is VERY unusual.
2) best bet is to look outside of the city.

You won't hear it from me.
Not at all, this is very unusual. Tickets starting getting cheap when the Ravens starting looking like they were going to have another losing season and for some reason the prices never went up again.

Sounds like a great idea!

The Bengals are one of the dirtiest teams in football. I almost hate them as much as the Irsay Colts, so I really want to us to win this game. I am a little stoked that the Browns beat them up pretty good physically and hope that dirty Burfict does not play! Go Ravens!!!!!!

Stats can lead to unwarranted hope. I hate that about it, because these stats won't suit up sadly. However, I like that we have a better than 50% chance to make the playoffs whatever Sunday's outcome. Thanks for the post.

They are dirty and it starts with Burfict.

I know a lot of people are still upset over the kneeling thing and are selling their tickets rather than going to the games. The glut of available tickets has added to the cheap prices. There will also be more than the normal amount of PSLs for sale this off season.

Part of the cheap prices are the empty seats, NYE, and the super cold temps Sun. I might go to this one too.

Yes those may be factors specifically for this game but we attendance was down for DET and IND as well.
Part of it may be due to people who wrote this team off are slow to come around to them being a playoff contender, but the kneeling has got to be a significant factor. I know several people who are sticking by their league boycott. Question is whether it just sours them enough to never come back.
I think it impacted the Ravens more than other teams for 2 reasons: 1) the mass kneel down week happened in front of an international audience and 2) the movement behind the action is associated with images of the city being set on fire.
I hope we get past these attendance issues quickly ... It is embarrassing to be in a hunt for a playoff spot and not fill the seats.

Yeah that's what I meant by the empty seats. Like you said, it is embarrassing that we are very much in the playoff hunt but can't fill seats at all. The State of the Ravens conference is gonna be VERY interesting when it comes to that topic.

Yes, you would appear to be a probability and statistics geek like me.
I calculated these as well, using Vegas odds on straight up bets. I can't help but feel that 80% on our game is too high. The others seem reasonable ... although I'd say that I'd favor the Jags if they really are going to go all out to win (like their HC said they are).

In some ways, I just hate these kinds of games. All expectations have us winning and getting in the playoffs ... that always leaves me feeling that win and I'm relieved and lose and I blow a gasket.
After I almost stroked out watching that shitty Bears game, I promised myself not to get overly charged up over this team. I managed to do that all the way up to last week, when I found myself hyperventilating as the game drew to a close.
Please, Ravens, spare us the drama. Take care of business in a convincing way.
