Week 12 Rooting Interests

[Kincaid Kool-Aid]

Hard to believe we sit here in week 12 and both the #1 seed and division are all but out of reach, Instead, we find ourselves jockeying through the muck of a competitive wild card race...Lots of ways to look at week 12 rooting interests given our current predicament. Who you got?

 

• Steelers/Bears - go Yinzers. Keep the pressure on Baltimore for the division (Ravens should easily handle the Jets today). We can hopefully handle our business with them next week and earn our head-to-head tiebreaker 
• Giants/Lions - don't care
• Jets/Ravens - go Jets, but chances of them beating the Ravens on the road are 0%
• Patriots/Bengals - Bengals of course but hard to see a win without idiot Chase
• Vikings/Packers - don't care
• Colts/Chiefs - as stated above, the 1 (and even #2) seed is all but out of reach for the Bills, so I'm not worried about "catching" the Colts anymore - we just need to hang on for dear life for a WC spot. Chiefs lose this game and their chances of even making it to the playoffs takes a major hit. Screw Kermit and Kelce. Give me the COLTS!
• Seahawks/Titans - don't care
• Jags/Cards - conflicted on this one as we are in direct competition with the Jags for WC positioning. While the Colts have a brutal remaining schedule, not sure I see the Jags leapfrogging them for the division. Part of me wants the Jags to win to keep ahead of KC & Baltimore for that last spot, the other is worried if they stack too many wins and we drop more stupid games, they could box us out of the playoffs
• Browns/Raiders - how depressing is this one? Guess we'll see if Shedeur flashes any potential? Sure hope not, as after the Texans debacle I can see their D steamrolling our O when we play them in December and us losing if they can find even remotely competent QB play.
• Eagles/Cowboys - screw Jerry (also, thanks for giving us picks for Elam lol)
• Falcons/Saints - meh.
• Bucs/Rams - give me the Bucs for strength of schedule, but hard to see them going into LA and beating the Rams with how banged up they are
• Panthers/49ers - see Bucs/Rams - give me Carolina for strength of schedule...
