Default Who to root for week 16 edition

Patriots (12-2) at Bills (4-10), With a win or a tie, NE clinches the #1 seed.

Jets (10-4) at Bears (10-4), With a Bears win or tie, NE clinches the #1 seed.

Colts (8-6) at Raiders (7-7) - Raiders loss helps our first round pick. Colts in the playoffs don't scare me. Likely to be the pick that generates the most controversy.

Panthers (2-12) at Steelers (10-4), Our second round pick. Steelers can't beat us out for any playoff situation.

Vikings (5-9) at Eagles (10-4) - Our third round pick.

Saints (10-4) at Falcons (12-2) - Saints haven't clinched a playoff spot and we have their 6th round pick.

Cowboys (5-9) at Cardinals (4-10), Cowboys have a better shot of getting ahead of our picks than the Cards.

49ers (5-9) at Rams (6-8), Rams have the better chance of picking before the Raiders/Vikings.

Chargers (8-6) at Bengals (3-11) - end oakland's season

Giants (9-5) at Packers (8-6), To keep the Saints out.

Lions (4-10) at Dolphins (7-7), stay ahead of Raiders

Ravens (10-4) at Browns (5-9) Can catch Oakland. But if Mangini loses another I won't be upset.

Redskins (5-9) at Jaguars (8-6), Also can catch Oakland

Seahawks (6-8) at Buccaneers (8-6), Catch Oakland.

Texans (5-9) at Broncos (3-11), Catch Oakland.

Titans (6-8) at Chiefs (9-5), Clinch the West, end Oakland's season.

As always, I look forward to this thread.

But, as often, I think you put too much stock in pick placement.

The reality is Belichick could probably care less if his pick is 12 or 15 - if he has a guy targeted in that zone, he'll find a way to get him. So I wouldn't sweat the Raiders losing.

Colts in the playoffs should scare you - they have Peyton Manning.

It's all too mind boggling to me, BUT I do know who I will not, nor ever root for, and that's the Jets, the hatred for that team is far to deep, followed closely by the Ravens.

I'm onboard with everything except for rooting for the Colts to win, even if it's the Raiders.

It has nothing to do with FEARING the Colts. It is just simply a matter of HATING the Colts and wanting to see the playoffs cleansed of their presence, even if it means a few draft slots.

So that would also mean wanting a Jaguars win.

I'm rooting against the Falcons in the longshot hope that they blow their chance at homefield advantage. I'd rather it go to the Bears.

Bears-Pats SB rematch sounds good*.

*I'm a fan. I'm allowed to get ahead of myself.

It amazes me how people think the Pats will steamroll the Colts.

Since 2004, this has not been the case.

I want the Jets, Ravens and Jags to win, I want the Colts and Chargers out of the playoffs; nothing has the potential to beat us in the playoffs like a top QB.

I admit, I want BAL. Last year's playoff game ticks me off still. Kraft has said that that loss on many levels, bothers him more than other AFC playoff losses. Particularity the lack of fight that they showed that day. This organization is MUCH better than that and they have shown it this year.

Too many people around here are wayyyy to obsessed with that dang Oakland draft pick. Who cares? The pick is gonna be somewhere in the middle of the 1st round. Guys are picking against Oakland around here when it could actually HELP teams get into the playoffs or actually improve their seeding. Yeah. like guys rooting for The Chargers vs. The Raiders a few weeks ago, or actually wanting the effing Colts to beat them this week. Dude, you're a frigging fool if you want The Colts to win. A Colts win in exchange for a slot or two rise in the Oakland pick? NO WAY. Who freaking gives a ***** what actual number that pick is? Anywhere between 10 and 20 is where it's gonna be. Freaking 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of another. Get a grip.
