I hate Sunday's like today.  Don't get me wrong, I love watching the Dolphins in prime time, but without a Phins game on Sunday afternoon, I just feel lost.  This week it is especially tough because I got to thinking this morning that I might have to root for the Jets today.  No Dolphins game and having to root for the Jets, that is Sunday Hell for me!!!

So before you get all over me and wanting to ban me from the site, here is my reasoning.  The standings below show where the Phins stand today in the division.  With a Jets win today, NE (6-4) will hold a one game lead over the Dolphins (5-5) and the Jets (5-5).  The Phins would have the best record in the division (3-1), NE (2-2), and the Jets (2-3).  The Phins hold the tie breaker over the Jets because of the division record and beating them twice this year.

AFC East
Team	W	L	T	PCT	PF	PA	Home	Road	DIV	PCT	AFC	PCT	NFC	Streak
New England	6	3	0	.667	259	150	5-0	1-3	2-1	.667	4-3	.571	2-0	Lost 1
Miami	5	5	0	.500	242	244	3-2	2-3	3-1	.750	3-3	.500	2-2	Won 2
N.Y. Jets	4	5	0	.444	199	158	2-3	2-2	1-3	.250	4-4	.500	0-1	Lost 2
Buffalo	3	6	0	.333	140	210	1-3	2-3	1-2	.333	1-5	.167	2-1	Lost 2

 So, with a Jets win today and a Phins win over NE on Dec. 6, the Phins and NE would have the same record at 7-5 (assuming both teams win next week).  Because of the division records the Phins (5-1) would hold the tie breaker over the Pats and essentially be leading the division.   I am sure most everyone here realizes this, but it still doesn't make me feel any better about rooting for the Jets.  I just needed to rationalize it to myself.  Agree or Disagree?
