    AFC - Rooting for Ravens to be in the Superbowl as alternatives are bad. Fuck K.C. fuck Miami and fuck Bills. Hope Texans also do well as I am a fan of Stroud.

    NFC - Will root for Bucs if they make it to the play offs. Bowles is a good human being and easy to root for. I also like Rams and hope they can make some noise.

    Well, most of my good friends are Miami fans.... but I'll NEVER root for them ;):mad:
    So I guess I'm rooting for the JAGS today as the local team, and other good friends that are big fans, but I'm not expecting them to do any damage.

    Looking forward to the predictable 49ers-Ravens rematch SB.... hopefully Lamar gets a ring

    I would love to see that really. It will be a worthy Superbowl. But both will be rusty due to the break. Ravens rested Lamar and some others yesterday. They have bye next week as well. 3 week break might come back and haunt them. Not sure what 49ers will do today but 3 week break is bad for any team.

    Probably the Lions in the NFC and the Texans in the AFC.

    Fuck Miami and Buffalo for sure.
    Cleveland I can't get behind because Elijah Moore can go eat glass.
    Houston maybe? Not really sure b/c all the "this could have been the Jets comparisons if they just got the QB right and did what Houston did"
    Prob root for the Ravens but something about them bother me. If they don't win this year with that defense they may never win.
    I know everyone hates KC but I would like to see Mahomes do it with this squad on O.

    NFC
    Prob Lions, Dallas or Eagles just to piss off the Giants fans.

    Just say no to the Ravens. Ray Lewis the fraud's asscrack when he was kissing the ground and screaming, "Oh, Jesus Lord!" and his unintelligible Jesus rants decided me even long before that happened. Plus, they always seem to buzzkill the Jets.

    Fck K.C. Why? Kelswift must die! I'm also sick of Mahomes and his Kermit the Frog commercials where he's actually playing himself. If they lose I hope they lose because of calls that are actually called correctly. K.C. is fast becoming the Cheats of the league/favorite sons of the refs. Well, occasionally they get screwed like everybody else, but only occasionally.

    I have to really dissect who I want to take it all, but generally, I'm less than ambivalent. I give less and less of a shit about the SB with each passing year whether or not I hate who's in it.

    Bills and Dolphins of course as they are the Jets "friends" :) I just want to see good games as I really don't have an adapted team to root for.

    It’d be cool to see Lamar win and squash the whole running QB’s can’t win in the playoffs thing. I also don’t really see anyone going in there and beating them barring injury.

    How do you not root for the Lions? They’ve been even worse than the Jets and they also were gifted two generational players and a QB who probably goes to the HOF.

    I think the Browns could do it led by their defense. Of course, Flacco cannot turn the ball over which has been a problem for him. The AFCN has great rivalries with all 4 teams. A Browns - Ravens game would be extremely physical and probably end up a one score game.

    November, bah. Yom Kippur it is. It's usually in September, sometimes October, so the date varies. However, the song remains the same.

    ETA: Oh, and the Lions. I usually try to go AFC but there aren't many AFC teams anymore that I don't full out or sort of hate. That Gucci wearing asshole from the Dolphins, I can't wait to see Miami crash and burn. How some people forget they're the true pukes of the AFCE astounds me.

    Packers for my dad, Steelers for the rest of the family (even though I can't stand Mike Tomlin). Ravens cause everyone who talked shit on Lamar Jackson going into his draft and since them can eat crow.

    For the AFC I would like to see the Texans followed by the Browns.

    For the NFC I would like to see the Lions followed by the Cowboys.

    The reason for the Cowboys is to see Stephen A. Smith cry like a baby on 1st take.

    For the older Jets fans sure highlighted by Mud Bowl and the fake spike game. For younger fans the Pats have been a bigger pain in the ass with Bill, Tom, and finally ending the streak. I would say older Jets fans would have it Dolphins, Pats, Bills in that order on the hate list. Younger fans would go Pats, Dolphins, Bills.
