Default I'm rooting for Tennessee because...

... if the Titans beat the Chargers, then the Pats face the Titans in the next round. That sets up the possibility of the Patriots paying Jacksonville in the AFCCG, if Jax can pull of the upset against Indy.

And if all that happens (not sure how likely it all is), then if the Patriots make it to the Super Bowl, they will have beaten all 5 of the other AFC playoff teams, either in the regular season, or in the playoffs. I think that would be pretty cool.

I'd pull for the Chargers. Indy owns Jacksonville.

I'd like the Titans so Brady can score in the final minute of a blowout and we can watch Bullock go wingnut. ...again

We should all root for Tennessee because maybe, just maybe, we could be a little weary of the best all around tailback in football of the last 5 years blow up for 220/2 TD and 10 receptions at any time.

He has a better chance of blowing up the post game press conference because Rob Bironas didn't show any class by smiling after he made a field goal.

I myself also - when looking at our potential opponents - look at the overall picture like this. I think the sweetest route to 19-0 would be Tennessee/Jacksonville then one of the 3 NFC teams we haven't played yet.

That would then mean we beat 9 out of a possible 11 different playoff teams during our 19-0 season, including AFC teams #2-7.

But when concerning myself with the Colts, I feel the Chargers have a much better shot than do the Jags at beating them. The Chargers are on a 2 game winning streak against the Colts, while the Jags are on a 2 game losing streak.

no offense to anyone in this thread.. but i've had enough of the "i wanna play th e best teams" or "i want indy, no excuses!".

I want the easiest damn route possible. so i want Tennessee, Jacksonvillle, and then the Buccs.

(even though Lord Favre would definitely choke)

I'm honest to God conflicted here. I didn't have a rooting interest in either of today's two games and I don't think I'll have one in the SD/TEN game either.

But how funny would it be if the Titans pulled off the upset, then those Titans get toasted by the Pats, and have the Colts lose to a familiar foe in the Jaguars? It would be karma for the Colts giving the Titans a free pass into the playoffs.

But in reality, I don't care. If the Colts lose prior to the AFCCG, I get to laugh at their expense. If they make it to the AFCCG, that's the chance for perfect revenge against them. Yes I'm jumping the gun as a fan of the Pats, but if you're not supremely confident in a 16-0 team going the distance then I don't know what to tell you.

Yeah that same HB showed so much class as he walked away from his starting QB because of a in game mistake but later acted buddy buddy after they pulled out the win.

What a piece of work he is...........

Oh...........no way the Titans even come close to beating the Chargers. The Jags already have plane tickets to fly to Providence.
