Although the Saints do have a better win % than the Falcons, Buccaneers, and Cardinals.

I use the term "underdog" differently then you do. I don't consider a team that's the division leader as an underdog. They are a favorite to me. I don't use they past when discussing underdogs. it doesn't really make any sense.

if the Royals have the best record in the MLB next year and make the World Series against a Wild card winner in the NL, do you consider the Roayls to be an underdog?

In order for the Steelers to get in, they require 1) a win and 2) losses or ties by 2 of the following: Jets, Ravens, Texans.
PIT plays in MIA: Winnable. BAL plays in OAK: BAL Probably wins. HOU hosts NE: NE possibly rests a bunch of guys. HOU is currently a 7-point favorite because of this. NYJ play in CIN: This is the Sunday Night game, and I could really see CIN going all out if NE loses to try and get the 3rd seed and help get PIT in so they could beat them 3 times in a year. So yeah, not looking good for the defending champs. Last edited by parkmania; 12-28-2009 at 06:41 PM. |

I don't even really care what the Jets do.....but I gotta say it's really fucking retarded that they get to play the last regular season game at GIANTS Stadium.

Why the fuck would you use the past when considering favorites/underdogs. Oh yeah the Patriots had the best team of all time 2 years ago so they are naturally a favorite no matter who they face this postseason

I know you're not actually from NY, so it may be different, but both of us and Triple A even are the outcasts in are football/baseball combination. it's usually Mets/Jets and Yankees/Giants. |

Yeah, it really makes no sense at all to call one of the best teams in the league an underdog because of years past. I don't even understand how that point can be argued.

You guys are taking Krispy's post out of context. He's talking about the grand scheme of things. In the history of the NFL, yes they're both underdogs. Chill

I also didn't mind the Jets and Yanks and wanted to see the "local" team win. I still don't normally mind the Jets, but once the Yanks started their '90s dynasty...I slowly started to dislike them once everybody in elementary/middle school started wearing Yankees gear despite not knowing anything about the team except that they were always good. The 2000 World Series was then the culmination of it and I officially began rooting against the Yankees except during interleague play against good NL teams. ![]() |

I live in California but I like the Cowboys. We have no team anyway. And I started watching sports/football when I was like 11 and the Cowboys were on tv.
I was watching and not sure how I made the decision to start liking em but I did and it stuck. Anything better than the Raiders which most people like around here ![]() |

My grandfather started liking the Yankees in like 1946. Every person in my family since has pretty much been a Yankee fan. And at Superbowl III after the Jets won Joe WILLY Namath pointed and smiled at a young 10 year old boy (my dad). So on family ties I am Yankees/JEts fan. But for the most part it is usually Yankees/giants jets/mets for whatever reason
Odd that like every single New York sports fan is backwards on TPWW except for Big Vito. And I guess stupid Big Fat Mike |

And yeah, pretty much every one I know is the same way and follows those lines. Yanks/Giants or Mets/Jets. |

As a fan with no real rooting interest in the Jets, it would kind of suck to see them make the playoffs by virtue of the Colts and Bengals essentially throwing their games. With the Jets/Bengals game being moved to the Sunday Night slot, it's entirely possible that the Bengals won't have anything to play for by the time the game starts and sits Carson Palmer. I'd be pretty pissed if I was a fan of a team that was recently leapfrogged by the Jets.
Of course, given the Jets' history, it's entirely possible they lose to a Bengals team led by J.T. O'Sullivan anyway. I'm not sure I would trust Mark Sanchez to win a primetime must-win game yet...we'll probably see Thomas Jones and Shonn Greene get a combined 45 carries or something. |

I adopted the Jets and Mets as my teams because the Mets were the first MLB team I went to see. The Jets I became a fan of when I started following NFL in 2005, and then they were my first team I saw play. Had no idea there was a sort of pattern as to who New Yorkers supported. It's really fucking hard to try and follow baseball over here but I try
