Denver Broncos @ Baltimore Ravens.

So on December 15th, the Ravens play Denver and obviously, this game has serious seeding implications as far as the Patriots goes. We've beaten the Broncos in the head-to-head matchup but they are on a streak and if they win out and we lose one, then we could be going to Denver. Not to mention that other than that Ravens game, their schedule the rest of the way is cake.

On the other hand, Baltimore has already beaten us head-to-head and is sitting pretty at 9-2, thanks to the Chargers meltdown last week. As we all know, its tough to play in Baltimore and Lewis seems like he's almost there.

With this being said, which team should we root for? Ravens or Broncos? I know their are other games that will effect the playoffs seeding but this one is a win-win, but could also be worse for the Patriots. Thoughts?

I might be too optimistic, but I think we have a good chance of running the table on the rest of the games, so I would be rooting for a Ravens loss.

Root for the Broncos in that game, root for the Ravens to lose another game, and (of course) root for the Patriots to win out.

ask me again when dec. 14 rolls around, i think either of those teams may drop one by then (and maybe even we will)

but you're looking 2 games ahead, really a lot can happen in 2 weeks

GOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRONCOS!!!

The worst thing for us would be a tie.

Since the head-to-head advantage is held versus the Broncos, and the Ravens seem to be getting worse every week. Gotta go for the 2 seed! Go Elway..I mean um, who is their QB..oh, that guy.

Personally, the only game I consider important right now is NE @ Miami on Sunday.

A lot can happen in that time. I remember in the not too distant past the dolphins were tied for first in the division.

That Den@Bal is huge...

If the Pats win out, a BAL loss will create a 3-team tie with the Pats winning the tie-breakers.

Also, with the Pats winning out, a second loss by Houston in the next 5 weeks would mean a 4-team tie at the top, with the Pats winning the Tie-breakers :-)

Losing to Sea and Ariz (NFC teams) helps us out...
