'Rooting Interest' indicates teams I'm rooting
for & why I'm rooting for them.

~~~

1. AFC Seed 7 Dolphins 9-8 @ AFC Seed 2 Bills 13-3 (favored by 13.5)
Sunday 1/15 12:00 pm
Actual Result:
Rooting Interest: Dolphins as I'd prefer the
weakest AFC team make it to the Super
Bowl & I'm not among the usually non-Bills
fans who seem to be rooting for the Bills
simply due to Damar Hamlin surviving a
near-death cardiac arrest during the Bills
game vs the Bengals (which everyone, of
course, was rooting for him to survive &
recover from)

~~~

2. NFC Seed 7 Seahawks 9-8 @ NFC Seed 2 49ers 13-4 (favored by 9)
Saturday 1/14 3:30 pm
Actual Result:
Rooting Interest: Seahawks as I'd prefer the
Cowboys, if they win their Wild Card, to play
their Divisional game at Dallas vs the Giants
if the Giants win their game @ the Vikings. If
the Cowboys win their Divisional game, & the
Seahawks defeat the Eagles in their Divisional
game after defeating the 49ers, the Cowboys
would play the NFC Championship game ver-
sus the Seahawks at Dallas.

~~~

3. AFC seed 6 Ravens 10-7 @ AFC seed 3 Bengals 12-4 (favored by 8.5)
Sunday 1/15 7:15 pm
Actual Result:
Rooting Interest: Ravens as I'd prefer the weak-
est AFC team make it to the Super Bowl.
~~~

4. NFC Seed 6 Giants 9-7-1 @ NFC Seed 3 Vikings 13-4 (favored by 3)
Sunday 1/15 3:30 pm
Actual Result:
Rooting Interest: Giants as I'd prefer the Cowboys,
if they win their Wild Card, to play their Divisional
game at Dallas vs the Giants if the Giants win their
game @ the Vikings. If the Cowboys win their Divi-
sional game, & the Seahawks defeat the Eagles in
their Divisional game after defeating the 49ers, the
Cowboys would play the NFC Championship game
versus the Seahawks at Dallas.

~~~

5. NFC Seed 5 Cowboys 12-5 (favored by 2.5) @ NFC Seed 4 Bucs 8-9
Monday 1/16 7:15 pm
Actual Result:
Rooting Interest: Cowboys, of course.

~~~

6. AFC Seed 5 Chargers 10-7 (favored by 1.5) @ AFC Seed 4 Jaguars 9-8
Saturday 1/14 7:15 pm
Actual Result:
Rooting Interest: Jaguars as I've been rooting for them
ever since they upset the Cowboys & it would be fine if
the Cowboys got a chance for revenge in the Super Bowl
in addition to it being super if Trevor Lawrence made it
to a Super Bowl in his 2nd year.
