Week 15 Rooting Guide

by shake n bake on Dec 9, 2008 10:43 AM EST

The Colts are still sitting pretty for the 5 spot, but a clinch would be nice.

Raiders-Patriots, Niners-Dolphins, Jets-Bills, Two schools of thought here. The Pats or both the Jets and Fins losing would clinch a playoff spot if the Colts won, but if the either the Dolphins win out or the Pats win out and the Jets don't or the Jets win out and the Broncos don't then the Colts get the seemingly week Broncos in round one. I fall under the first category. I'd rather have have the Colts become a lock for the playoffs than have a higher chance of a matchyp that gives the Colts a slightly higher chance of advancing if they get to the playoffs.

Ravens over Steelers Wooooo contridicting myself. An at Steelers matchup in January on that awful awful field would suck. Go Ravens.

Panthers over Broncos, We want those inconsistant, not that good on average Denver Broncos in the first round.

should have been roottin

for the cowboys… if pitt would have lost on sunday, then lost to balt this weekend… they would be staring at some must wins just to make the playoffs…

oh well… go balt and i am without a doubt cheering for an afc east team to win their final 3…. wont happen though since they all suck and we will probably head to foxboro for round 1 with a better record than those bums

Exactly.

It wasn’t easy cheering for Dallas last weekend, but I want Pittsburgh to drop. That’d make for a nasty road game.

I have difficulty with the AFC East thing

I would prefer to not see the pats in the playoffs, but yet they seem more beatable versus, say, the Ravens or PIttsburgh should we have to face them. I’m still rooting Silver & Black – after all my host is a Raiders fan… I don’t want to be rude!

Rude.

It’s also probably the safest thing to do if you are going to the game. :D

Actually...

They also hosted me last year when Indy came to town and although I got quite a few boos, jeers, and “You SUCK!”s walking through the parking lot with my Manning jersey and Colts cap, nobody gave more more grief than my own Indy-hating / pats-loving husband! Of course I was protected by my host, who seems to be well known in the Raiders world…

That's a very good thing!

When they were still in LA, I saw Raider fans actually rush the field to try and take out their own QB because he was so horrible! It was actually quite hysterical!

Good thing to have “protection” :)

DOLPHINS!

I think we should all root for a warm weather matchup in Miami in round one. Peyton has not played well in the windy games this year (save maybe Pittsburgh, which wasn’t quite as bad as GB/Tenn/Cle).

Going down to Miami gives Indy their best shot to advance. Even over Denver. If the weather is not a factor, no one will beat 18 this year.
