Football Week 13 Rooting Guide (and now "other games thread") - Page 10

**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.

And...now you're missing the fun. Jay Gruden went for it on 4th and short on his end of the field, resulting in a McCoy sack/fumble/Colts return TD. Ballgame.

EDIT: Well, credit Washington for not quitting, because boom... McCoy to Jackson, TD.

EDIT2, 4 minutes later: Sheesh. Luck to Fleener, TD. Announcer guy says, 5 TD in the last 6:37.

Bolts defense is pathetic, giving up one big pass after another.

ThaVirus · 11-30-2014, 02:37 PM

Nice little scuffle in the Saints/Steelers game.

I never intended to spend so much time on this one, but it's fun as hell to watch these two exchange haymakers.

Cleveland is about to put Manzel into the game. 12 minutes to go.

ThaVirus · 11-30-2014, 02:39 PM

Saints probably wrapped it up with another TD. That's 5 for Brees if I'm counting right.

Jacksonville has come back from 21 down to take the lead against the Giants. Yikes.

RINGLEADER · 11-30-2014, 02:40 PM

Looking like Cleveland and Pittsburgh go down today.

Saints are punishing the Steelers now.

Nice play by Flowers.

**chefsos** · 11-30-2014, 02:43 PM

lmao

Damn Skins are inside the 1, looking to get within 42-31.

EDIT: ...and they ****ed it up. Colts ball at their 2.
