Time to clarify myself here:

I hate the Ravens, who are sitting in second place at 4-4. With eight games left to play, they have enough time to take over the AFCN lead from the 4-3 or 5-2 Steelers at some point this season. For me it is all about pushing the Ravens further down in the AFCN because I can't root for them.

In the NFCN, I have a much bigger problem. Detroit is now solely in third place behind Minnesota and Green Bay. A win would have tied them with the Packers, who were idle. Green Bay needs to stay ahead of Detroit to have any chance of clinching a playoff spot and all year I have seen playoff level performances by the Lions.
