Who do we root for between the Patriots vs Jets?

As good as we have played this year, we still must fight for our wild card/division spot.  Some how, the Indianapolis Colts have come back and have the exact record as us.  Baltimore is ahead of us tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Fortunately the Broncos and Chargers only look like they are fighting for a division leader spot.  Plus our division which is still in limbo, with the Patriots, Jets and Dolphins (and Bills, but really they are out). 

Our (division and wild card I believe)) playoff spot is still in our hands. 


So who do we want to win this Thursday between the Pats and Jets?

We already gave half of the tiebreaker to the Jets.  But we hold the the tiebreaker with the Patriots currently.

 

If the Patriots win, we'll still be in third place in the division and at least 3rd place for the wild card and division (assuming we beat the raiders or else we have no chance).

If the Jets win, we'll be in 2nd place in the division, and possibly 2nd place for the wild card.

 

I still don't know what any of this means, but I conclude that the better choice for the wild card spot would be if the Jets win and for the divisional leader the Patriots win.
