OK...your team is not in the playoffs.......you're a football fan and still loyal to your team.....but who are you pulling for?

I'm a Steelers' fan.....I've thought about this a decent bit but am having trouble.

Colts? If they won I'd be OK as Peyton is deserving of a 2nd....but I'm pretty ticked they laid down 6 qtrs later than they could have....didn't play to win.

Chargers? I really can't stand Philip Rivers and believe Norv Turner has had so many chances and is overrated

Patriots? They've won a lot and kudos for playing the starters early on....but blowing a 14 point lead in the 4th......to kill my team hurts

Bengals? My Dad and sis love them.....most people/kids at my school would be oh so happy, but I'm not sure I could take the beating of their happiness as they would be obnoxious amuck as they are just kids with little info....but still not sure I could take it.

Jets? Don't like Ryan and don't like how they have turned so fortunate.....but man they are on a mission tonight and I do like how they are taking advantage of their scenario....it's not their fault.

Ravens? For whatever reason.....I may root this team on. Not sure they can win at NE....but if they do lookout.

Saints? I would love to see Drew Brees beat the Chargers 48-0 in the Super Bowl.....I have no qualms with this team at all.

Vikings?.....couldn't take the Farve stuff

Cowboys?.....much like Norv Turner....Wade Phillips is overrated and opportunities beyond....and don't want them to tie the Steelers with 6

Cardinals?.....wouldn't have much trouble if they won it...I like Warner and co....but rather the Saints

Packers?....well that would hush the talks of Farve a bit, but not a huge Rogers fan.

Eagles?.....eh....I never have liked the Eeagles AT ALL, but kinda appeal to this team, but it looks bad vs Dallas. Reid is rough as a big game coach....but if VIck could makee some big plays like he was making before he got hurt....I would root for them a bit.

SO I guess my top picks of teams to root for are:

1. Saints

2. Ravens (man this surprises me)
3. Patriots
4. Colts
5. Cardinals
6. Jets
7. Eagles
8. Cowboys
9. Bengals
10. Vikings (if Farve wasn't the QB...they'd be #2)
11. Packers
12. Chargers

I hope San Diego wins the whole thing. I have liked them for a long time.

I'll be rooting for the Colts. My girlfriend is from Indiana and is a Colts fan, so I'll be supporting them because of that connection. I'm still pretty annoyed by them for spitting in the face of history, but Peyton deserves title #2. Not so sure they'll actually win it though since they destroyed all their momentum.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Packers win it all. I've always been a fan of Charles Woodson and after everything that Aaron Rodgers went through with the Favre saga and how well he handled it.....I'd like to see them do well. Plus that "I've got the wrestling championship belt" celebration by Rodgers today was great.

Then probably the Saints and Chargers.

I've never been a root for other teams guy.

Hope there are some great games.

I don't want the Cowboys to tie the Steelers for six Super Bowls but I think they might.

I dont now how anyone can like Philip Rivers....

Anyways, if the Colts lose (which I think they will, dumbass Jim Caldwell) and I have to resort to rooting for a team other than my Colts.


1. Packers
2. Eagles
3. Saints
4. Jets
5. Cowboys

Id be pretty disgusted if anyone else won it. Vikings would be #1 if Favre was retired still (then again, they prolly dont make the playoffs).

Had the Jets lost tonight I would've been pulling for the Bengals. If the Jets lose next weekend I will be pulling for the Bengals.

Chargers or Packers. If the Ravens weren't in the same division as the Steelers, I could probably pull for them, as I at least respect them as an opponent. Maybe Philly due to being a fan of McNabb. Or the Jets so Justin doesn't strip my mod privileges. Yeah, I better cheer for the Jets...

As a Steeler fan I'm hoping that the Bengals and Ravens do well in the playoffs, have to make the AFC North look good. Although I'm also pulling for the Vikings. I love the way AP plays and I like Favre. Sort of a more flawed Randy Couture in that he's really old but still kicking the shit out of competitors.

The Jets have to be the worst team in the playoffs right now though. Not saying they can't win a game or even a few but out of the choices I would not pick the Jets. ;)

3. Cardinals (always liked Warner)

You rooting for the Pats has no bearing on my mood.

The Pats winning another Super Bowl would have no bearing on my mood, either.
