Bills fan since 87 Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Cant remember the poster but in years past someone always put together a dynamite "who to root for" thread prior to the weeks games. Has that poster started doing these yet and I missed them or is this something they no longer do. Tied to this does anyone know when the ESPN playoff machine fires up? (Far and away the best simulator) I think it was week 12 in years past?

wiseman3 Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Someone on the Buffalo Bills reddit page r/buffalobills does a great rooting interests post every week. It goes through every single game and the optimal outcome for each one
msw2112 Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 For certain games, it's obvious. Miami-Denver is a good example. You clearly want Denver to win. Or with rare exception, anytime an AFC team is playing an NFC team, you want the NFC team to win. It gets trickier with AFC-AFC matchups. For example, on Sunday night, with the Pats playing the Ravens, who were Bills fans supposed to root for (for PLAYOFF purposes only - I realize that Bills fans generally want to root against the Pats)? For AFC East division reasons, you would root for the Ravens, as a win by them helps knock the Pats out of the division race. BUT, the Pats are unlikely to catch us in the race and the Ravens and Bills might be competing for playoff seeding. If Miami were to somehow overtake the Bills and win the division, and the Steelers win their division over the Ravens, the Bills are then competing with the Ravens for wildcard seeding in the AFC and we would thus want them to lose to the Pats. I realize it's just a little early for this stuff, but it's how my mind (and I'm sure many others' on this board) works.
