!!!THE OFFICIAL 'OTHER GAMES' GAME THREAD!!!


Recommended Posts

No.  Carolina losing helps Denver's SoV tiebreaker over us.  I don't care if Carolina is unbeaten, I do care about tiebreaks against AFC teams like Denver and New England.

 

Pls refer to my week 9 rooting interest thread. :)

 

Hell... I'll just cross post here:

Since the Stripes have already played and won this week, here are our rooting interests for the other 13 games this weekend:

 

Miami at Buffalo = BUF (improves our SoV)
Green Bay at Carolina = CAR (hurts DEN's SoV)
Jacksonville at NY Jets = NYJ (hurts PITs Wild Card chances)
St. Louis at Minnesota = STL (improves our SoS, hurts DEN's SoS)
Washington at New England = WAS (improves our Bye chances)
Tennessee at New Orleans = TEN (spite, hurts INDs division chances)
Oakland at Pittsburgh = OAK (hurts PIT a lot)
NY Giants at Tampa Bay = TBB (hurts NEPs SoS)
Atlanta at San Francisco = SFF (improves our SoS)
Denver at Indianapolis = IND (improves our Bye chances)
Philadelphia at Dallas = Meteor (zero impact on AFC races)
Chicago at San Diego = SDC (improves DEN and CINs SoV)

 

The above presumes than CIN DEN and NEP are locks to win their divisions and will be the top 3 seeds, that OAK NYJ and PIT are the teams fighting for the 2 Wildcard spots, that PIT is the team we want to miss the postseason, and that if everything else is equal we want IND to suck it out of spite.  :)

 

Rooting priority is:
(1) help CIN
(2) hurt PIT
(3) hurt NEP
(4) hurt DEN
(5) help OAK
(6) help NYJ
(7) hurt IND

Carr to Crabtree.  7-0 Raiders

An OAK win is huge.  Would them 2 games up on PIT in the loss column and would own the h2h tiebreaker.  They also beat NYJ last week - the presumptive other Wild Card contender - which would mean that there's no conceivable scenario where PIT would win a tiebreaker against them (2-way or 3-way).  That means OAK would essentially be 3 games up on PIT for the playoffs.
