Now that the Broncos won last night, we definitely need them to lose next week vs the Colts. The problem is, the Colts may have nothing to play for next week and may be resting their starters. However, if the Patriots lose, and the Colts win, the Colts will have something to play for as they will still have a shot at securing the 2nd seed and have a first round bye. So then we should root for the Jets, as the Colts will be more likely to beat the Broncos next week. However, if the Patriots beat the Jets, we are just one game behind Jets (assuming we beat the 49ers), and the Jets have to play the Rams next week, which could be a tough game for the Jets as the Rams may be playing for the last NFC wildcard spot. How does our playoff situation look if we are tied with the Jets?
The Colts-Chargers is at 1, the Jets-Patriots game is at 4. If the Colts win, do we root for the Jets?
