Default Who to root for week 17.

Bills (6-9) at Patriots (12-3) 1:00PM ET

NE wins and they clinch #1 seed.

Steelers (11-4) at Browns (4-11) 1:00PM ET,
Ravens (11-4) at Bengals (9-6) 1:00PM ET,

NE clinches the #1 seed even with a loss if the Bengals and Browns win. Plus both those teams will be playoff teams, let them go into the playoffs on a losing streak. Plus we wan the Bengals to keep the Raiders out of the playoffs.

Chargers (7-8) at Raiders (8-7) 4:15PM ET,

We have the Raiders first round pick.

Chiefs (6-9) at Broncos (8-7) 4:15PM ET,

We want the Broncos to win the west.

Jets (8-7) at Dolphins (5-10) 1:00PM ET,

Just because its the Jets.

Panthers (6-9) at Saints (12-3) 1:00PM ET, buy tix

Best we can hope for is the Saints lose wildcard weekend.

49ers (12-3) at Rams (2-13) 1:00PM ET,

So we want the 49ers to win the #2 seed.

Titans (8-7) at Texans (10-5) 1:00PM ET,

Two reasons want the Texans to go into the playoffs cold. Titans could help keep the Raiders out of the wildcard.


Bears (7-8) at Vikings (3-12) 1:00PM ET, buy tix
Buccaneers (4-11) at Falcons (9-6) 1:00PM ET, buy tix
Colts (2-13) at Jaguars (4-11) 1:00PM ET, buy tix
Cowboys (8-7) at Giants (8-7) 1:00PM ET, buy tix
Lions (10-5) at Packers (14-1) 1:00PM ET
Redskins (5-10) at Eagles (7-8) 1:00PM ET, buy tix
Seahawks (7-8) at Cardinals (7-8) 4:15PM ET, buy tix

Rest of the games don't affect the NEP. But I am rooting for the colts to somehow mess up the #1 pick.

It would be wild to see the Ravens drop all the way from No. 2 seed to wildcard with a loss at Cincy. I can't decide what would be in the Pats' best interest, though -- Ravens or Steelers getting the bye.

Really rooting for Miami to destroy the Jets; that way they can't blame anyone else. Really, as much as people say the odds are stacked against the NYJ getting in, the teams they need to lose (Bengals to Ravens, Titans to Texans, Raiders to Chargers/Broncos to Chiefs) actually have, IMO, at least a 50% chance of losing.

Yes, and, it would be just fine for the Jets to win, and not get into the playoffs, and for the Raiders to lose, which puts our Raiders #1 pick ahead of the Jets in the pick order. A minor thing, but there would be some satisfaction on draft day to not only have kicked their a## all year, but to be picking ahead of them in the draft.

I don't fear either team, and both will have to come to our house, however, a bye will help the Steelers far more than the Ravens, so we want the Ravens to get the bye.

As per the original post, I have no disagreements.
