The NFL playoffs continue on Saturday with a pair of huge Divisional Round games. I know there is still a big contingent of Detroit Lions fans who are refusing to watch the playoffs, and I certainly understand it. But, for me, there are only seven NFL games left before the offseason is here for all 32 teams, and I\u2019m not yet ready to embrace that. I need all the NFL I can get while it\u2019s still here.<\/p>\n
One of the biggest problems, however, is there are no clear teams to root for. Everyone is going to have their own #2 team or specific player they like that may guide their rooting interest, but from a Lions fan perspective, it\u2019s hard to identify which team to ride the rest of the way.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not here to tell you how you should feel. You\u2019re welcome to root for whatever team you want, and I will not judge you for it\u2026 unless it\u2019s the Chicago Bears. But if you\u2019re looking for some guidance during the Saturday games, here are the two teams I\u2019m rooting for and why.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s Question of the Day is:<\/p>\n
Which teams are you rooting for in Saturday\u2019s Divisional Round games?<\/p>\n
My answer: Let\u2019s break down each game.<\/p>\n
Bills at Broncos \u2014 4:30 p.m. ET \u2014 CBS<\/p>\n
Who I\u2019m rooting for: Bills<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always felt a distant connection to the Buffalo Bills. They\u2019re on the other end of the \u201cis it better to have made the Super Bowl and have lost, or is it better to have never made it to a Super Bowl at all?\u201d debate.<\/p>\n
Four straight Super Bowl losses and zero other appearances in the Big Game. That is a kind of torture Lions fans can only dream of. And let\u2019s not get it twisted, that is a horrific kind of torture. You thought the NFC Championship loss to the 49ers was bad, can you imagine going through something even more high-stakes and coming up short four straight times?<\/p>\n
