    Damn this year you might need 11 wins to get in.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    Report that Kam Chancellor out for the season with a neck injury. Along with losing Sherman, that's quite a hit that the Seahawks secondary has taken. There's a possible opening if the Packers can get to 10 wins.

    Okay to cheer for Bears?
    Go Rams
    Go Eagles
    Not sure if I want Falcons or Seahawks to win. Just be glad 1 is guaranteed to lose I guess.

    When in doubt, root for a home loss. But in the case of the Bird vs. Bird, Packers beat the Seachickens but lost to the Dirty Birds.

    Root for Seachickens



    OK, maybe just root for Russell "Nanobubbles" Wilson.

If the team is close enough, and dangerous enough (like ATL) you may want Seattle to win so that ATL can't catch the Packers. Plus the Packers beat Seattle. At this point, we are playing for a wild card, so at some point need some Seattle losses so that we at least win tie breaker with Seattle if the Rams win that division.

    Bears - Vikings is easy - def cheer for Bears. Vikings and Barr need to be pummeled even if they end up winning.

    edit - oops it's Detroit Bears. Same rule applies - need a Bears victory because Detroit is much more a threat.

    Rooting for SEA loss. That’s a real reach. /s

    Your new Avatar is really gross, Rand.

    If only we possessed technology that allowed us to record our thoughts for posterity, I wouldn't forget the order of operation here.
