Default Who to root for week 9

Giants (5-2) at Patriots (5-2) 4:15PM ET

Do I really need to explain this one?

Jets (4-3) at Bills (5-2) 1:00PM ET,

What will likely be the most contriversal pick of the season, it is in the Patriots best interest to root for the Jets for the first time since 2008. The Bills have the same record as us and a tie breaker. We have a game on the Jets plus the tie breaker.

Buccaneers (4-3) at Saints (5-3) 1:00PM ET,

We have NO's 1st round pick.

Broncos (2-5) at Raiders (4-3) 4:05PM ET,

and Oakland's 2nd.

Bears (4-3) at Eagles (3-4) MNF 8:30PM ET,

and Philly's 7th.

Falcons (4-3) at Colts (0-8) 1:00PM ET,

Rooting for the Falcons to deny the Saints the division. I am sure others will root for the Colts to deny them luck.

Browns (3-4) at Texans (5-3)

Texans are the bigger threat for playoff seedings.

Bengals (5-2) at Titans (4-3) 4:05PM ET,

ditto

Dolphins (0-7) at Chiefs (5-3) 1:00PM ET,

Same as above.

Ravens (5-2) at Steelers (6-2) 8:20PM ET,

ditto

49ers (6-1) at Redskins (3-4) 1:00PM ET,

Keep the Eagles in last place in the division.


Packers (7-0) at Chargers (4-4)

Being we are ahead of the Chargers by move than a game, I don't see them as a risk, but I would like them to finish ahead of Oakland.
Seahawks (2-5) at Cowboys (3-4) 1:00PM ET, buy tix

Buffalo has one of the Sea's picks. The more they win the less it is worth.
Rams (1-6) at Cardinals (1-6) 4:15PM ET,

A stretch to the max, but I wanted to get all the games. Assuming Fins and Colts win a few, having the Cards draft before them will likely deny them luck, Rams, not so much.


Byes: Jaguars (2-6), Lions (6-2), Panthers (2-6), Vikings (2-6)

Nope. I'm rooting for the Bills and then we can finish them off the week after.

I think your going all wrong about it this week. This year is very similar to 08. The afc west may get into the playoffs with an 8-8 record while we miss out despite a good standing.

We might have to get in the wild card route and if so we need the ravens and bengals to be knocked out of the wild card race. I would rather have the chiefs take the west and i would also like to see the chargers pushed out of the playoff race entirely.

Lastly, rooting for the jets in 08 was a one time thing and they let me down. I don't even have the strongest hate towards the jets like others but it felt disgusting rooting for them even though it was for our benefit. Besides, a bills win would further push the jets out of the playoff race so it is a win-win.

Default Re: For Whom to root week 9

No way I'm rooting for the Jets. The Jets are a better all around (D, STs and OK not offense) team than the Bills and more dangerous. Emotions aside, the Bills are hurting with injuries on D, already a week area and I expect them to fade. Plus we have our shot to negate the head to head advantage at Gillette. If we can't do that, I don't even want to watch the 2011 Pats in the playoffs.

And I want the Squealers to win. Why? Because they have us on the tie breaker so we don't want the Ravens to win the division and have us looking for a low seed vs the Steelers. I see the Stealers as the one seed in the AFC. If we're the quality team, we need to beat the Steelers at their house in January anyway.

Jets have an easier 2nd half schedule than the Bills, Jets have a higher potential than the Bills, we have the Bills at home week 17, we control our own fate with the tie breaker, and the Jets are the #&*%@ing JETS. Rooting Bills all day.
Otherwise I agree.

I'm rooting for the Jets..If they win and lose again to the Pats the following week, they are essentially going to be eliminated from the AFC East race by losing the tie breaker and having more loses. Buffalo would have 3 loses, and their schedule is even more difficult, and I don't see them going any better than 11-5. They would still have to play in the Meadowlands, at San Diego/Dallas, and Foxboro on New years.

I think it is in the Pats best interest for the Jets and Bills to split their games over the next few weeks and the Pats to beat both of them. I can't root for the Jets and even though they are 5-2 I still can't take the Bills seriously although I really should.
