STL @ OAK: I think that we're all in agreement that we want JOakland to go 0-16.

TB @ CAR: Tampa winning improves out second round pick. Go Bucs.

NO @ SF: Saints. I like Payton and Brees. I'll root for them anytime they're not playing the Pats.

NYG @ IND: I want to see the Giants D-Line pummel the fivehead, which is a real possibility. Colts starting out at 0-2 would be LOLworthy. Go G-Men.

ARI @ ATL: I couldn't possibly care less.

JAC @ SD: Due to my time in Jacksonville, I'll root for the Jags any day as long as they're not playing the Pats. Jags.

BAL @ CIN: Cincinnati. They're the lesser of the two evils here.

CHI @ DAL: One of my friends is a Cowboys fan and he was obnoxious about them throughout the entire offseason. Bears.

PHI @ DET: Detroit. I want to see that franchise shake it's curse.

KC @ CLE: Kansas City. Want to see Cleveland start out 0-2. Want to see Mangini lose his job.

PIT @ TEN: Tits. Screw *****tsburgh.

SEA @ DEN: Denver. McDaniels over Pete "Christmas" Carroll.

HOU @ WAS: Houston. Want them to start out 2-0 and the Colts to start out at 0-2. That would be great. Plus, Arian Foster is my fantasy running back. He was huge for me in Week 1. I hope he's huge for me in Week 2.

I agree with this list and your reasons. Especially the bolded

That would be awesome.

That makes me ridiculously happy.

me too......

SD always starts slow and then makes a stretch run, so I'm rooting for Jacksonville for that reason too.

Agree with the OP's list except the last pick. I want HOU to win to give them a better chance of winning the div. I would love it if HOU and TEN made the playoffs.

Very nice weekly thread. But would you consider some threshold beyond which draft pick status is not a factor--e.g. maybe 5th round and up? Rooting for a team based on a 7th round pick status just seems a little... lol, not sure the word... "unstable"?

MIA @ MIN - no matter how much you may hate Lord Favre, 1-0 division rival vs NFC team, you have to root for the NFC.

BUF @ GB - Division rival vs. NFC. Go NFC.

STL @ OAK - As the owners of the Raiders 1st round pick...Go Rams.

TB @ CAR - Same deal with the Panthers 2nd.

NO @ SF - not nearly as big of deal with the Saints 7th, but still would be nice if it wasn't only a few picks before Mr. Irrelevant.

NYG @ IND - NFC vs AFC. NFC all day. Plus I don't dislike lil bro as much as big bro.

ARI @ ATL - Jets own the Cards 7th round pick. ARI win makes it less valueable.

JAC @ SD - Torn on this one. Mia owns Jags 7th round pick. A Jag win makes that less valuable. But Jax is 1-0, and SD is 0-1 so for the homefield, wildcard races a SD win would be better. I am gonna go with Jax cause I just don't like Norv.

BAL @ CIN -Bal (1-0) vs Cin (0-1, with us having the tiebreaker over them). Go Bengals.

CHI @ DAL - Patriots are America's team. F you Tom Landry.

PHI @ DET - Both 0-1, both in the NFC. I am gonna root for the team that doesn't hate Santa Claus and doesn't have Sen. Comcast as a fan.

KC @ CLE - Logic says root for Browns cause they are 0-1 and KC is 1-0, but I like Scott better than Eric. So to hell with logic.

PIT @ TEN - both in the AFC, both 1-0. I dislike Pitt more than I dislike Tenn.

SEA @ DEN - Dislike both coaches and want to see them fall flat on their face, so that is a push. NFC vs AFC. Go NFC.

HOU @ WAS - AFC vs NFC. Go NFC.

i just want to see improvement from the teams in the same conferences as oakland and carolina do well so those teams have an tougher time. those 1st and 2nd round picks are all i care about... other than our afc rivals of coarse. is it to much to hope carolina is a top 10 and oakland?

I can't root for either of those teams.

Understandable...

As for me, I would LOVE to meet the Giants in the Super Bowl, once again.

If you can come up with a more compelling reason to choose one team or another in game such as cards vs. falcons, I am all ears. Sometimes there ain't much of a reason to pick one and the outcome of the 7th pick is the best ya can do.
