Football Week 13 Rooting Guide (and now "other games thread") - Page 21

**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.

The other good thing about winning tonight is it knocks Denver out of a 1st round bye position. They'd fall behind Cincy... and they still have to go play a primetime game at Cincy in the cold in a few weeks.

Lovely pass from Rodgers.

And TD Green Bay!

Let me know if you hear of any reasonably priced. Christmas is coming and I have my wife and 8 month old to shop for still.

Amazing pass by Rodgers; looks routine

whoever wins out in the AFC will be playing the Packers in the Super Bowl.

How many are you after? Woman at work has a few selling I think.

Woah that was a beautiful throw. Effortless flick of the wrist

I'll keep an eye out too. I plan to just buy from a scalper at the stadium.

Packers = Good

ThaVirus · 11-30-2014, 04:06 PM

Dude. No one is going to beat the Packers at Lambeau for the rest of this season/post season.

Just two.

Rodgers is so good. Does anyone not like him? He just goes and plays, throws the ball anywhere he wants to.
