Unless it helped the Raiders. Would a Bears fan root for the Packers. A Giants Fan root 4 the Eagles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other team winning will benefist your team2. You have money on that team3. you have some sort of other betting interest on that team such as getting a stupid haircut, buying beer/food, making someone look like a fool etcJust my humble opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not a bettor, you just stop watching the NFL once your team is out of it? I need to have some emotional stake to actually sit down and watch a game and that means rooting for one of the two teams playing. That's just me...

That's just me...I dont need emotional attachment as i love the sport.  I can watch any two teams play and not have to root for one or the other and still just enjoy that im watching football.  I feel that my rooting interest should be saved for my team while other teams get my respect but not me cheering for thema unless its a matter of money. pride/a bet for something not monitary, or them benefitting my team.   Different strokes for different folks i guess. Cheers.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I don't really see NO as that big of a Rival, yet. They've been no real competition up to this year. It's not like the others you mentioned up there that have been in the same division for decades and have a hatred built up.....although, having said that, I could NEVER root for Carolina or Atlanta. Saints keep up the level of play they've had this year and I'm sure the hatred will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
