So you're sitting there wondering which game to watch, and Denver isn't available. Which team do you cheer for if you want the outcome to help Denver? No problem; MileHighReport.com has you covered.
Remember, this has nothing to do with which teams we like or hate. It is purely based on what outcomes best position Denver for the playoffs, and a good seeding once there.
We're also rating the games on how important they are for Denver fans. For instance, a Denver game, or a game that features a Denver division rival, gets near a 5, while a less important game gets a 1. So given a choice of several games, you now know which one is more important to watch! (Teams for Denver fans to cheer for are in CAPS).
Let's feed the schedule into MHR's Super Computer and see what results we get...
Note - While we lead our division, we'll look at the desired outcomes based on giving us the best seeding, and not in terms of eliminating potential wildcard challengers. Should Denver slip to an even placement with SD, we'll recalibrate the algorithm to reflect the need to compete for a wildcard spot.
NYJ at buf (2) - Root for the lesser AFC team (We will play both teams this year).
DET at chi (1) - Root for the lesser team.
JAX at cin (3) - We want JAX to win, because we have played them and want them to have a strong record for the "strength of sched. tie-break".
bal at CLE (2) - Root for the team with the lesser record.
TB at kc (4) - Root against AFC West teams.
hou at MIN (3,25) - Root for the NFC over the AFC
ari at STL (1) - Root for the lesser NFC team.
GB at ten (3.75) - Root for the NFC team to slow this AFC juggernaut.
mia at DEN (5) - Always root for DEN.
DAL at nyg (1.25) - Root for the lesser NFC team
ATL at oak (4) - Root against the AFC West teams.
phi at SEA (1) - Root for the lesser NFC team.
pit at WAS (3.5) - Root for the NFC over the AFC.

“Always root for Denver”
As if it could be any other way.

Division crown or bust
There is no “wild card” option that looks promising to me. If we can’t win this division we don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. I rather wait another year.
I wish Woody Paige was our coach!
I am wondering where my picks are. :P
I am ready to talk football as well.

On the way.
I just got online, and saw a messg. from Guru in my mail that I had forgotten to pick ARI/STL. He sent the Messg a few minutes ago, so he’s well and ready to go.

I know, did you tell him your pick yet? lol

I must have forgotten.
I just sent him ARI as my pick.
Let’s see if the game threads and our picks get up there soon. I can’t believe I’ve had two terrible weeks and fallen off the leader board of the MHR picks.
: )

See...
A lot of feminists think that us guys don’t want “girls” involved in football pools because football is a “guy thing”. The terrible truth is, whenever you let the women play, they make us look bad, and that’s the real reason. We’re scared of ’em!
On a serious note, Guru is blessed. My wife is supportive of my love of football, but doesn’t care for football at all. Guru is married to a real fan (even if it’s the PATs). I know your computer is in witness protection to prevent being clobbered by your wife. : )
Still, the sweetest thing my wife has said lately is that we’ll do whatever it takes to get me to MHR-CON. At least I think she meant it as a supportive gesture (and not just to get rid of me for a few days). lol

Lame.
Not cool. Totally lame. I have practice this afternoon. At 3. Which means I can’t watch the Broncos game until late in the 4th quarter at best. Could someone call Roger Goodell and have him postpone it until tonight for me, please?

Easier option.
Get me your coach’s number. I’ll have Goodell give him a call. Or maybe he’d be more influenced if I had Haynesworth pay him a visit?
Nah. Do what your coach says. It sounds like he’ll give you a few days for the MHR-CON, and I’m hoping you have a lot of fun and get some football knowledge there. Practice hard and safe, drink plenty of water, and make us all proud.

Yes, sir!!
But I’d rather watch the game… Damn playoffs. We wouldn’t have practice on a Sunday normally, but we have a playoff game on Wednesday so the schedule is all screwed up.
