Houston is a far bigger threat to us in terms of making the playoffs than Buffalo is.
We should definitely be rooting for Buffalo.

The Colts are 8-2. If they can't hold off the Texans for the division title, regardless of the outcome of tonight's game, then they suck ...... and if the Colts suck, they won't be going anywhere in the playoffs, anyway.
The Colts need to be thinking about trying to get one of the top-2 seeds in the playoffs, not about the easiest path to a division title in a division that is mediocre. Josh Allen and the Bills are a proven perennial contender, and getting a higher playoff seed than the Bills would mean that a potential playoff game between the 2 teams would be played in Indianapolis instead of Buffalo ...... to me, that's a lot more important than hoping that a team that started the season at 3-5 catches the Colts, who started the season at 8-2.
