Teams to cheer for today

[danlhart87]

Patriots:

Ravens own the tie breaker over Colts

 

Texans:

Browns own the tie breaker over Colts

 

Bengals:

Chances of Colts getting top seed are very marginal but every Steelers loss helps

 

Cardinals

Bills loss gets Colts closer to possible 3rd seed 

 

Chargers

Dolphins are very much in the WC and playoff hunt.

 

Broncos

Same for Dolphins plus Colts play Raiders in about a month.

[Myles]

I'm torn on the Packers/Jags game.   A Jags win helps us avoid Lawrence in the division.  But since we play the Packers next week, I'm not sure I want to play them coming off a loss.

[AKB]

thanks for taking the time to make this post.

I honestly don't think we need much help now. As long as the Titans lose a few more and we sweep them, we win the division and at worse will be a 4 seed. I am just going to enjoy the games today.

[Smonroe]

Simple rules for every week, in order:

 

Root for any NFC team playing an AFC team.

Root for any team playing a team in our division.

Root for the AFC team with the worse record when playing another AFC team outside of our division.

If two teams from our division are playing each other, root for the one with the worst record in the division.
If they have the same record, root for the one that we already beat.  
(And, if possible, always root against the Patriots)

I don’t think it’s a rule to root against the Patriots.  It comes natural for Colts fans.

Not sure that applies to the Jags.  I'd rather see them draft 5th than 1st.

No worries the Jets are going 0-16.

I hope so, but anything can happen.  I don't think I want Fields in the division either.

Fields is solid but a drop off compared to Lawrence. Lance is good as well. Lawrence is top dog though. As long as they don't get him it is all good.

[IinD]

Totally unrelated but I wasn't going to make a thread about it, but I heard a funny start today... First time in 40+ years the nfl home teams combined are under .500 this far into a season. 

 

Literally no home field advantage this season. Pretty funny I thought.

[2006Coltsbestever]

As far as #1 picks go, Lawrence is the closest thing to Luck I have seen since Luck came out. IMO, he can make a whole team better instantly.

I agree.  That's why I want the Jags to win.

I think Burrow will be good but Lawrence will be like Luck, JMO.

jets aren't winning any games this year so you might as well put a green jersey on Lawrence lol

Pats only beat them by 3 and against Buffalo was close and they play them both again.

If we clinch the division by the last week, we should let Jags beat us if they are still in the Lawrence sweepstakes  

[Chrisaaron1023]

*yawn* I'm bored...  such great games. I'm stuck watching the giants vs eagles. 

 

P.s. I replaced rooting against the pats with rooting against the bucs.. Patriots have their whole defense off this year and obviously a new QB. Tom brady has an all star team down there in Tampa.. so down with the Bucs!!

Burrow already has similar/comparable stats to Luck's first year, and doing on arguably a worse team.

Not saying Fields is better than TL, but his stats arguably are. And Fields is playing in a league with much better D and all around talent than the ACC.

Jags will probably draft him if they pick 2nd. I still like Lawrence better just by the eye test.

I've watched both pretty closely. It's hard not to like both, but TL's 3 year track record of consistency is just hard to pass up regardless of how well Fields looks. 

 

I think the biggest factor though will be simply what teams they go too, and how willing the teams are to invest around them. I really don't want to see either in Jax....

 

It's also not out of the realm of possibility that Houston ends up with the 2nd pick. I'm not saying they would take a QB, but whoever is sitting in the top 2 will have the ability to demand a bunch of draft capital. Houston, if #2 could parlay a trade that would really pump up their roster. And even if Jax doesn't end up with #2, they'd likely go to Lance. Last I saw, mocks had him going 5-15.

 

You also have BYU and FL's QBs looking very strong. I could see both going in the 1st too which would be 5 total. That's a really strong QB group this year. So if Eason isn't working out, we have draft options..

why are you torn then? it seems to me you should just root for the Jags

 

edit: plz ignore I is dumb

[EastStreet]

Jags just went up 20-17 over GB..

 

Browns just scored to go up 10-0 over Texans.

Understand.  As a Buckeye, I'd hate to see Field have his career ruined in Jacksonville.  I won't mind it as much if they ruin the career of that young lady who plays QB for Clemson.

I believe Houston traded away their first rounder.

Thanks. I keep forgetting they traded away both 1st and 2nd rounders to Miami. 

Miami cashing in big.

Texans (O'Brian) traded 2 first round picks and a 2nd to the Fins.

just 1st and 2nd for this year's coming draft

[ReMeDy]

As long as the Pats lose every game, I'm cool with whatever.

 

I can see their bandwagon fans leaving with each loss.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

With how the AFC is looking snd our record in the conference we might have to win the division to make it. I can’t believe how good the dolphins look. Every team either won or is on their way to winning today.

That is why Thursday was gigantic, we have to sweep the Titans which I think we will now.

[EastStreet]

welp, we might actually get one..

 

AZ just INT'd Buf, and up 3 with 4:31 to go. Still enough time for a Buf comeback though.

[danlhart87]

Go Cards

[EastStreet]

wow... Hopkins catches the Hail Mary with 3 guys around him..... 

 

Cards win! 

 

Helps big time in the AFC race.

[ColtsGermany]

Bills - cards..... wth

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Omg the end of that bills cards game. We got a little help there.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It sure is fun watching two young QB.
