Default OT: Two matchups-who to root for?

Not sure which games bother me more; Seattle/Denver or Miami/Jacksonville. It is so easy to root against Denver, but it would be nice to see that 1st rounder from Seattle get better.

And I just decided I absolutely cannot root for the Dolphins in any way shape or form. Go Jaguars!

I live in Las Vegas, team loyalty is one thing, but money is another, I'm taking the Dolphins at plus 1.5. ( That means the "phins need to win by 2)

I'm also taking the Seahawks to cover +3.5,(lose by no more than 3) I think they'll win outright. Plus I'm taking the Pats, I never take the Pats because I never know if I betting with my head or heart, but this week I think the Pats will cover nicely. And to round out my parley, I got the Jets by 2 over the Pack.

I am rooting for Hawks to beat Denver (forget about 1st ronder until March - I do not want to play Denver - their D gives Brady fits) and for Jax to beat the fins tro make the pats-fins game down the road relatively unimportsnt to the fins...

Denver in the one game. Don't care about the other.

The reason I'm rooting for Denver is a Denver win definitely helps the draft choice whereas a Seattle win only maybe helps our playoff chances. I'll take the definite help over the maybe help.

Gotta eliminate Denver, so will go with Seattle and pro Jacksonville, only because I dislike Miami and they need to have a couple of losses this time of year, so we don't hear the hype all winter long about how good they are because they had a great second half of the season.

Using my brain, I root for Miami here. They're not a viable playoff threat (they lose to us next week) and always root for division rivals to get lower draft picks.

100% RIGHT - are you kidding me?? MUST get rid of Denver - I don't want to see them in the playoffs, here or there - no thank you - Cutler is going to be a good one.

Miaimi - please, don't need to see them have a chance at playoffs thank you.

Obviously fans here subconsciously believe that we can't beat Saban & Harrington of Miami in a playoff game. Major lack of confidence in the team. Sad.

I take the position that I want Miami and any division rival to have LATE draft picks so that they do not have a strong advantage vs Belioli.
