The Conference championships (round 3) are on the 27th.
It appears to me that if Pittsburgh wins on the 19th or 20th,
there will be no game in Oakland on the 27th no matter
what the Raiders do. Going into this weekend Oakland is
tied with New England and Miami for the second best
record in the AFC. A game in Oakland on the 27th is
improbable but not yet impossible.
As for rooting this weekend, do teams tend to win or lose
when you root for them? :-)
