We only care about this game IF we lose to the Niners. There are 2 reasons really. First we are holding our nose, throwing up in our mouth's, and rooting for the Ratbirds because they are more likely to lose a game after today. They play the Giants and Bengals after the Broncos, both good teams that will be fighting for playoff berths all the way. After today the Broncos are as likely to lose a game as the Pats are.Why is everyone rooting for a Ravens win? Doesn't that mean we might have to face the Ravens in Baltimore (if we don't win out, and the Ravens do)?
Whereas if the Broncos win out (and so do we), we'd still have the head to head over them...meaning they'd have to come to Foxboro in the playoffs.
Secondly, even if the Ravens win out, given the choice, I'd much rather play them in Baltimore, than play the Broncos in Denver.
Obviously the best situation for the Pats would be to win out....as usual.
