Who to Root For: Week 8

The Colts don’t play until tomorrow, so for now we’ll have to hang out and watch everyone else play.  Remember, you can follow our musings on twitter @18to88, @lukedunlevy, and @shake1n1bake.

By the way, I need a volunteer to moderate the chat tomorrow night. Also, if you plan on tweeting FROM THE LUKE tomorrow night, let me know and I’ll add you to the Gameday Follow List.

Here’s Who to Root For as you are watching games today:

EASY CALLS:

We start with interconference matchups.  There are a lot of them, so it makes this an easy week.  Always root for the NFC is a good rule of thumb.

Packers @ Jets

Vikings @ Patriots

Steelers @ Saints

These are the three big ones.  It would be wonderful for the Colts if two of the three lost.

Jaguars @ Cowboys

Not as big, but it is an easy call.

Seahawks @ Raiders

Easy call, but it breaks the rule. The Pats get the Raiders first pick, so the more wins the Raiders get, the worse that pick is.

Titans @ Chargers

Yeah, I know, we have to root for the Chargers in consecutive weeks.  It makes me feel dirty.  However, the Titans lead the AFC South. If they lose, the Colts and Texans play for first place tomorrow.  Do the right thing and pull for Norv.  Then take a shower and read a novel to halt the erosion of your IQ.

TOUGH CALL:

Bills @ Chiefs

If you want the Chiefs to win the West (and I do), you can be tempted to pull for them in this game.  However, they have the same record as Indy, and I feel better pulling for teams at least a win or two behind the Colts.  For now, let’s root for losses.
