A Hater's Guide to Week 6

[A Defiant Goose]

This is mostly for my own sake but I had always had a small interest in everyone else's rooting interests so I figured I'd make a thread for them. I'm a professional hater, and that means while I emotionally will always root for teams like the Jets to go 0 and 17, it would be in the best interests of the Patriots if they beat Denver today. Denver could be fighting for a wildcard spot and the more AFC losses they have the better for us. But if KC keeps downspiraling and Denver is on the way to a division title we would probably rather them win anyway.

Give me Denver over the Jest

Cardinals over Colts. Obvious reasons.

Dolphins vs Chargers is a tough one. I'll take Miami because they're not a real threat in the AFC but you could say the same about LA with their injuries.

Steelers over Browns. We already lost to em might as well hope they win the division and don't battle us for a wildcard.

Seattle over Jacksonville. Basically every NFC vs AFC matchup we are taking the NFC.

Vegas over Tennessee. SOS reasons.

SF over TB. I still love my guy Mac Jones and I think TB could be in the NFCCG this year so I'd like to see them knocked down a peg.

Lions over Chiefs
Falcons over Bills

Give me Bears over Commanders too because I'm petty and want Jayden Daniels to lose.

Hate on haters!

Only taking real exception to one of your 'hate' selections. I genuinely despise the ****sburgh Squealers, any time they lose is a good a time.
I don't feel strongly about it but I'd just as soon Washington beat Da Bears cause my pettiness is different from your pettiness, in general I have a 40 year old lingering distaste for them. Their one winning season in the last 12 is one too many from where I sit.
Understanding YMMV

Honestly the AFCN is bad this year so a Pittsburgh loss may check both boxes of 1.) F the Steelers, and 2.) Don't want to fight with them over a WC spot.

For me Miami is a tough one to choose.

Years and years of Don Shula's arrogance created a longterm hatred; therefore the schadenfreude when the Dolphins lose is tasty.

On the other hand, wouldn't it be better if they remained in that NFL purgatory of being a team that is not good enough to make it to the playoffs, while simultaneously not being bad enough to get a top-5 or top-10 draft pick?
