Football Week 13 Rooting Guide (and now "other games thread") - Page 24

**DaFace** · 12:27 PM

I had this brilliant idea to use cdcox's software to put together a guide for who we should be rooting for to best help the Chiefs chances of making the playoffs. I always like stuff like that because it helps to tease out some of the nuances that you probably wouldn't have guessed:

The main one that's interesting to me in that is the Chargers game. Who would have thought that it's actually in our best interests for the Chargers to win today? That's mainly because the Chargers have a BRUTAL schedule to end the season, so it's unlikely they're going to be a threat for the WC spot anyway, so it's better for them to win now and take the Ravens down a notch.

(I should probably add that games not listed have essentially zero impact on our playoff chances.)

I was very proud of the great insight I gleaned from this analysis. That is...until I ran it with the Chiefs/Broncos game in there:

So basically, we can root for other teams all we want, but nothing matters NEAR as much as just taking care of our own business.

Surely wait until after the Cards lose today. They'll keep going down.

It's weird that there are only two late afternoon games today, and weirder still that they're both in the East, sort of.

I am not sure she's selling them but I know she doesn't go to every game. And one of our co-workers is getting married that day so I doubt she's going to the game. But this guy is!!!

LOL. GB can score within 2mins as well.

Under review. Clearly a TD.

Not sure there is a defense in the league that can stop the Packers at this point. Brady probably going to have to put up at least 40 to win this one.
