Alright, so I'm still a bit under the weather. Don't know if it was Omicron or T-Virus or "Rage Virus", but I'm feeling some better now. Which means, lets talk some football!
Eh, you know what? There isn't a lot to cover here.
AFC
The Titans can lock down #1 seed throughout with a win against the Texans. I know the Texans wailed away on my beloved Los Angeles Football Chargers, but I do not expect them to sweep Tennessee. Titans are still without Henry, but have a lot to play for to lock up that number one slot. The obvious stuff like having a bye week, and home field, but more importantly, it would give Henry basically 2 more weeks to recover and get back into shape. I'm expecting TN to play to win, but haven't checked any news today, so they may be resting their starters for all I know.
The only other item of note in the AFC is the SNF game featuring the previously mentioned LAC vs the Las Vegas Raiders. MAAAAAANNNNNN, expect this one to get NASTY! These two teams don't like each other to start with, and you put them in what we would call in rasslin' a "loser leaves town match", bubba, you need to expect it to get raw! We will see some good football, but I would not be surprised in the least to see quite a bit of chippiness and maybe a few unsportsmanlike and unnecessary penalties called. All in all, this is the game of the weekend.
While the loser of that match goes home, the path for the winner is not all kittens and rainbows. The winner, in all likelihood, wraps up the 7th seed and gets the honor of going on the road next week to face either the Titans or Chiefs. That will be fun. Does the math say LAC could move up? It might, but that would rely upon a few other teams losing, and maybe some other crazy shit to happen, to get to 6th. In other words, whoever wins should be happy with the 7th seed.
