The Buccaneers are off this week, but there are plenty of games that impact their future. As they sit at 4-6 and trail in the Wild Card race, there are some teams that Bucs fans should keep an eye on - and root for - to help the Bucs out a little.

For starters, Bucs fans should now be 49ers fans for the rest of the season. The Niners going on a run and pummeling their NFC West rivals helps the Bucs and avoids the two coming down to a tie-breaker for a playoff spot, which would go in San Fran's favor thanks to last week.

And while it may hurt you to your core, you need to be a Sean Payton fan this week. A Broncos win over Atlanta keeps the path to the NFC South title alive for another week.
