Although I expect New England to crush the Bills, and Baltimore to whip the Jaguars just as badly, I’ve decided that the best, most satisfying Sunday would be for both games to result in stunning upsets.
I’m going to assume Miami wins -- not because I think it will be an easy game, but just because if we lose none of this matters anyway, so I’m going for maximum satisfaction out of a win if it happens. Here’s the plan:
1pm: Bills shock the Patriots, not only demoralizing all of New England, but also firing up Jets fans everywhere. Miraculously, the Jets are playing for the division title!
4pm. Jaguars upset the Ravens, rubbing salt deeply into the open wounds of Patriot fans, who must face the reality that they’d be in the playoffs if they hadn’t stunk it up in Buffalo. Simultaneously…
Miami finishes off the Jets, crushing their improbably revived playoff chances for the second time in a week.
I’d also like Miami to win on a fake spike play, but maybe that’s asking for too much.
