Going for Two: Week Sixteen Conflicts

I just realized that this year's Super Bowl could be unwatchable for me, but the odds of Washington making it into the Divisional round are pretty slim. I will watch if my boyfriend's team goes back to San Francisco in the Super Bowl. I will watch that and savor every delicious moment of 49ers shame!

That isn't too far fetched. If Denver loses tonight and heads to the number 6 seed, my calculation has Kansas City in the Conference championship.

Meanwhile, I'm watching the most anticipated game of the last couple months - ever since both teams were still undefeated - Bengals at Broncos, and I'm so conflicted. My calculation needs a Denver win to break even this week. On the other hand, I want Cincinnati to win and I think they are better than Denver, at this point at least. Cinci is my #2 team, of course, and their win tonight also ensures that Houston, and not Indianapolis, makes it to the playoffs.

The prettiest QB of them all.
But that's not the end of the conflict. Don't tell Alex, but I have a little bit of a crush on this Osweiler kid. I had a feeling that he could be the one to lead the Broncos to defeat the Patriots, and it was ordained by the Football Gods. But with a third loss on the horizon, Brock might get knocked out in favor of a healthier Peyton Manning. I find that utterly unfair, however. It's not his fault that the receivers can't run fast enough and can't manage to catch the super fastballs he throws. Okay, maybe it is, sort of, but I really hope they don't give up on Brock.

9 and a half left in the game, Cinci is down by 3 after another great run by C.J. Anderson. That touchdown run was made just as the TV commentators said that they weren't seeing much from C.J. tonight. Unless this is a tie, there is no outcome that won't satisfy and disappoint me tonight.
