Which games should we follow?

 

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

Tampa Bay at Indianapolis

Tennessee at New England

Los Angeles Chargers at Denver

Do we want threads for any of these?

For those wondering who to root for as far as the Titans/Patsies game goes this Gelber kid lies it out well...

 

These are odds based off the NYT for the 1 seed and the division...
 
 
I'll personally be pulling for Patriots injuries with a three to five month recovery time.

Herd, I like you’re wins and read the article.  I don’t see the Pitt./Cincy game as that important.  I don’t think either are going very far if at all in the playoffs.  The argument to want TN to win is logical to me.  I’d rather see another divisional loss moreso than a TN loss.  The Pats do look better at this point than TN.  
 

The only risk is TN gets the bye, and Henry comes back.  I’m still more concerned more with playing in Foxborough in January more than TN.  I’ve heard the argument about more TN fans in the playoffs than during the regular season.  I don’t buy it.  I was at that Jax playoff game and the entire upper deck was solid red, white, and royal blue.

 

Hap., to answer you’re question, I don’t see why not leave it like you started as one thread following the AFC playoff implications today.  That’s just my two cents.  Whatever the guys want.

 

It is so nice though having a day off from the Bills with a W, and just enjoy the games.

I want NE to win because I want them overconfident when we play and I want the media riding  them all week,talking about their genius coach and Brady-like rookie QB. I'd like the Bills to have that disrespected feeling going into Monday night

If the Bills can't get up for a MNF nationally televised game at home with the division up for grabs in front of 73k fans then we mine as well resign Peterman and have him start the rest of the year.

To be honest it's more about the media. I know some people don't care what the media thinks, but I hate all the ball washing they do with the Pats. I want them to beat the Titans with ease so it's non-stop Pats love for the full week. Then I would love it if we beat them up in front of a national audience, with Josh playing a sublime game.

My hot takes . . .

 

Tennessee at New England ... I'm good either way, but as winning the Division is priority #1, I'll root for Tenn (and our chances at #1 seed are slim to none)

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh .... Need to go with Cincinnati, with the loss to the Steelers we cannot get in a situation where they climb ahead of us

Tampa Bay at Indianapolis .... Cannot end the season in any kind of ties with Indy now, Go Bucs!

Los Angeles Chargers at Denver .... A Denver win keeps both of these below us record wise, keep it that way

Cleveland at Baltimore .... We'll probably be battling the Ravens for a 2 or 3 seeding, got to hope for a Cleveland win

 

I don't like my odds here, going with four road teams?

 

These are who I want to win, not who I really think will win. It would not surprise me to be wrong in all five.

didn't see any Rooting Interest “stories“ on the web so, no I didn’t make one this week 

 

RE Putz the next four matchups will play a major role in determining the Patriots’ fate as they face the Titans, Bills, Colts and Bills again.

 

So let’s go Tenny

We just need the AFC North to keep beating each other up so they all end up around .500

I have a feeling that the cheats will roll the Titans. Double digits.

We get the Titans away with both Henry and A.J. Brown, the Pats* get them at home with neither, but if the Pats* win, the story will be they're superior to the Bills.

I'm rooting for the Pats....at the end of the day the division will come down to our two games vs them. 

 

Keep the slim hopes for the 1 seed alive.

 

Plus it will keep the media drooling all over them and barking about how they've taken back the division from the bills blah blah blah all week leading up to the game. Will make it that much sweeter when we roll them.

Tennessee Titans (8-3) over New England Patriots (7-4) but notes that if you think the Bills can handle the Pats you'd go the other way

Cleveland Browns (5-5) over Baltimore Ravens (7-3)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Indianapolis Colts (6-5)

Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4-1) over Cincinnati Bengals (6-4)

Denver Broncos (5-5) over Los Angeles Chargers (6-4)

Atlanta Falcons over Jacksonville Jaguars (2-8)

Miami Dolphins (4-7) over Carolina Panthers

 

(edit: just saw you found it but decided to leave this since the content differs a bit)

 

This article asserts that the Bills coaches will be rooting hard for the Patriots.  I don't think so.
