For whom should we root?

[PatsWickedPissah]

1PM games:
KC @ BUFF: Someone has to win the AFCW. I'd love to see KC take the west and make Denver play an extra playoff game.

ATL @ CAR: Do not care much. ATL could become a powerhouse with early draft picks so ATL (edited typo) for me.

MINN @ DAL: Love to see the Cows lose. Have to favor them to win though.

NO @ NYJ: The football gods bless us with a guaranteed Ryan losing. Want Jets to lose for all the obvious reasons. (Insert Joker rant here)

TENN @ StL: Thought I could not care less, but then were the improbable to happen and Tenn to take the AFC South from Indy, I'd be good with that.

SD @ WAS: Like RG3 so it's WAS for me. It's not like SD is gonna take a seed from us.

4PM games:
PHI @ OAK: Always root against the dog killer even though I'm not a dog person

TB @ SEA: I pity TB. Love my cousin Wilson. Big SeaHags fan. Love to see them take the West from SF.

BAL @ CLE: Still bummed about Hoyer who was on a roll. Want BAL to lose. DirtyBirds Delenda Est. Some may argue we should root for BAL to win to knock CIN off the division so that CIN would not have home field over us in the playoffs. I just hate BAL and am confident Dalton will lose in the playoffs.

PITT @ NE: Needst I supply any clues to the clueless here? I'll be at the game!


8 PM game:
IND @ HOU: Time for Texans to roll! IND is a threat to our playoff seed. Just don't hate the Colts much anymore with the execrable GM and QB gone.

Monday Nite game:
CHI @ GB: Might be good football to watch. Can't get excited.

1PM games:
KC @ BUFF: Go KC, our odds at #1 are very slim anyway. Further destroy a divisional foe for us.

ATL @ CAR: Eh, go Carolina. 7-2 Patriots @ 5-3 Panthers is an actual good MNF game for once.

MINN @ DAL: Screw the Cowboys. AP's on my fantasy team, it's about time he goes off.

NO @ NYJ: Obvious.

TENN @ StL: Go St. Louis. Always root NFC over AFC IMO.

SD @ WAS: Not a fan of RGIII's play or attitude this year, and I love Woody. Still, mind over heart, go Redskins.

4PM games:
PHI @ OAK: Screw dog killer, and the Raiders would be a decent little surprise if they reach 4-4.

TB @ SEA: Wilson's my favorite non-patriot player. Go hawks.

BAL @ CLE: Go Cleveland. What a shame about Hoyer too. They could've been a 10-6 or 11-5 team with him, their defense is loaded.

PITT @ NE: Have fun at the game!


8 PM game:
IND @ HOU: Case Keenum, the QB to have the most success vs. the Chiefs D. Let's see what he's got vs. the Colts.

Monday Nite game:
CHI @ GB: Chicago has no chance without Cutler. Boring game, go Bears I guess.

1PM games:
KC @ BUFF: Someone has to win the AFCW. I'd love to see KC take the west and make Denver play an extra playoff game.

Absolutely, every playoff game is an opportunity for Peyton to channel his inner 2013 Eli.

ATL @ CAR: Do not care much. ATL could become a powerhouse with early draft picks so ATL (edited typo) for me.

I like young teams so I will go with Carolina.

MINN @ DAL: Love to see the Cows lose. Have to favor them to win though.

There are no winners unless Dez Bryant catches at least 5 footballs, at least that’s what he said.

NO @ NYJ: The football gods bless us with a guaranteed Ryan losing. Want Jets to lose for all the obvious reasons. (Insert Joker rant here)

The family bet is the loser gets his Lap Band tightened the night before thanksgiving

TENN @ StL: Thought I could not care less, but then were the improbable to happen and Tenn to take the AFC South from Indy, I'd be good with that.

I just want Britt and Finnegan to brawl – that’s a win/win

SD @ WAS: Like RG3 so it's WAS for me. It's not like SD is gonna take a seed from us.

I am also an RG3 fan, but I do love me some Woodhead so I can go either way with this one.

4PM games:
PHI @ OAK: Always root against the dog killer even though I'm not a dog person

Hate the dog killer, I don’t think he should be playing in the NFL so if he never wins a game again that would make me a happy guy.

TB @ SEA: I pity TB. Love my cousin Wilson. Big SeaHags fan. Love to see them take the West from SF.

The Seahawks are probably the team I like best after the Patriots, I am very fond of Russell Wilson and cannot wait to see him and Harvin play together.

BAL @ CLE: Still bummed about Hoyer who was on a roll. Want BAL to lose. DirtyBirds Delenda Est. Some may argue we should root for BAL to win to knock CIN off the division so that CIN would not have home field over us in the playoffs. I just hate BAL and am confident Dalton will lose in the playoffs

.

I don’t like Joe Flacco and would have a hard time rooting for him in any situation, I like the young Browns to win this. Mingo and Cameron are studs.

PITT @ NE: Needst I supply any clues to the clueless here? I'll be at the game!

Anyone who says Pitts should be banned, that’s all.

8 PM game:
IND @ HOU: Time for Texans to roll! IND is a threat to our playoff seed. Just don't hate the Colts much anymore with the execrable GM and QB gone.

I hope the Texans lose and Watt, Johnson and Foster fire up cigars on the sideline in the 4th quarter.

Monday Nite game:
CHI @ GB: Might be good football to watch. Can't get excited.

Aaron Rodgers is a great player and entertaining to watch, I am not a fan of the Bears I couldn’t give you a reason why but they always come to mind when I think of franchises I hate. It could be the Ditka connection and the site of his face angering me.

Have fun at the game, Pissah!

switch Bal and Cle, and ATL and CAR.

 

[Bruins29]

Would would anyone want any AFC team to beat any NFC team? All except for a few are threats to our playoff positioning.

Aaah, I missed these. My takes:

1PM games (what a perfect day to have Red Zone ... wet, cold, Pats play at 4, some quasi-interesting games):

KC @ BUFF: Love to see KC keep up the momentum heading into their bye then the Denver showdown

ATL @ CAR: Scouting opportunity for post-bye MNF game.

MINN @ DAL: What an awful division that NFC East is. Yeah, gotta root against Dallas in principle. By the way, saw this from Ian Rapoport:

Ian Rapoport ?@RapSheet 32m
Fair point. RT @HeyMyNameIsWill: @RapSheet Interesting it's called a "tirade" when it's Bryant. When it's Brady or Romo, it's "leadership".

Really, Ian?

NO @ NYJ: Obviously you root against the Jets. Going to be a bit cool and raw for Brees, who wasn't quite his sharp self playing outdoors in Foxboro; also, and apparently Geno only truly sucked every other week this year (and last week was one of those weeks). Still wold be shocked if Saints lost this one.

TENN @ StL: Funny, I want to root for St Louis because I hate Jeff Fisher and when I think of the Titans I think of him. Then I remember Fisher coaches the Cardin... — er, Rams — now. Still will go for the Rams.

SD @ WAS: Bah, tough one. I want SD to be good enough to be a challenge to Denver. Plus there's Woodhead. Interesting how these teams from the vaunted NFC East are struggling that second-rate AFC West, by the way. Think I'll follow coach Belichick's lead and defer on this one.

4PM games:
PHI @ OAK: I was surprised to hear this morning on NFLN that everyone favors Oakland, hands down (see SD-WAS comment above). Interesting Raiders team. Guess the better these AFC WEst teams look the tougher Denver's schedule gets.

TB @ SEA: Don't think it will happen but a TB win would be kind of funny.

BAL @ CLE: Go Browns! Sometimes I think the reason that division's D's always have such great stats is because the offenses just always suck. Also, why is Baltimore in the AFC North while Indy is in the AFC South?

PITT @ NE: Enjoy the game PWP. I saw this a.m. that the pick the Pats would have lost to sign E Sanders became the Logan Ryan pick. So a Ryan pick of a Sanders target to seal the win would be poetic.


8 PM game:
IND @ HOU: Curse of the Varsity jackets continues. By the way, today's home game theme is Battle Red Day presented by Halliburton. Yeah military–industrial complex! Wonder if Cheney will do the coin flip.

Monday Nite game:
CHI @ GB: Meh, big stats ahead for Rodgers.

[jmt57]

I'm a sucker for the David beating Goliath sports story line, in part just to watch the alleged experts attempt to make sense of the anarchy that ensues, but something tells me that Tampa Bay is not going to beat Seattle today.

 

[Whitt25]

KC @ BUFF: Uh, I really want Chiefs to lose at least one game... but I'm not sure giving the win to Buffalo is a good idea, so I'll just go with Chiefs.

ATL @ CAR: Can't see Newton and the Panthers losing this one. I'm expectin a blowout.

MINN @ DAL: While I like the Cowboys, I'm rooting for Vikings and A.D because they've been having a horrible season. They showed a lotta fight in the Greenbay game. Time to actually win for a second time now.

NO @ NYJ: Uh, yeah... Saints.

TENN @ StL: Don't really care about either team, but I'd rather Rams win. Just remembered Bernard Pollard is on the Titans. **** that team and **** him.

SD @ WAS: RGIII over Philip Rivers and Danny Woodhead (wish I could still wear your jersey...).

PHI @ OAK: I care less about this game than the Titans/Rams game. Can't even pick a winner.

TB @ SEA: Let's go, Bucs! LMAO. Seriously, they're gonna get murdered in Seattle...

BAL @ CLE: Browns should always, always beat the Ravens, no matter what.

IND @ HOU: This might be fun. I'm okay with both teams, but I'd rather Colts lose this one, just because they have a winning record.

MNF:
CHI @ GB: Another two teams I'm all right with (In this decade, anyway). I'd pick Greenbay because one of the hot bartenders who serves me is a Packers fan, but I really want Bears to win, and I'm not sure why.

 

[james87654]

I root for the Patriots and Texans, and against their rivals/threats. JJ Watt is a bad-ass player and a nice guy to boot.

 

[FrodoBagginz]

KC @ BUFF: KC! Don't want the Broncos to win the division. Plus it will be a big FU to 49ers from Alex Smith.

ATL @ CAR: Don't really care. Maybe ATL because of Gonzalez. He came back because he wants a ring but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Kinda feel bad for the guy.

MINN @ DAL: Cowboys easily!!! At 2-6 the Giants still have a chance to take the division and sneak into the playoffs yet again! I am sick of this happening and don't want it to happen again. Looks like the Cowboys have the best shot at keeping these lucky SOBs out of the playoffs so gotta root for them.

NO @ NYJ: NO! Nothing more needs to be said.

TENN @ StL: Don't really care. But Tenn is in the same division as the Colts so am rooting for Tenn.

SD @ WAS: WAS. Any way to make it much much much harder for the Giants I will support.

PHI @ OAK: Eagles! Again, I root for any team but the Giants. More wins for the division teams makes it harder for the Giants for a miracle second half of the season.

TB @ SEA: TB. Gotta root for Sea to lose.

BAL @ CLE: Browns. Can't root for the team that beat us in the AFC championship game.

PITT @ NE: NE, obviously!

IND @ HOU: Texans. Colts are more of a threat to us in the playoffs. Texans are a joke and are much less of a threat.

CHI @ GB: Don't really care too much about this one.
