Other than our own game, these are the games with serious AFC Wildcard implications next week.
(6-5) TEXANS @ (5-6) BILLS
Its in our best interest to root for the Bills.
(6-5) CHIEFS @ (5-6) RAIDERS
Its in our best interest to root for the Raiders.
(6-5) COLTS @ (6-5) STEELERS
Houston is in a fight with Indy for the AFC South Division Title, both 6-5 with Indy owning the tiebreaker, so its very possible that we will ultimately be challenging Indy and not Houston for the Wildcard. That said, we own the H2H tiebreaker over Indy, its one of the few that we own, so it behooves us to root for the Colts in this one, its better if Pittsburgh a game behind us provided we beat the Giants, but its not as clear-cut.
Bottom line: Indy or Houston will win the AFC South, so ultimately we'll only be batting one of them for a Wildcard, not both, and ideally Houston will win that division because we own the first tiebreaker over Indy, so if Houston does beat Buffalo, then its probably to our benefit if Pittsburgh beats Indy, or maybe its still better if Pittsburgh loses, tough to say.
