Re: So who we rooting for on Thur, and why?
I think Bills fans should root for the Jets to beat New England Thursday night. The division would then look like this:
NYJ 7-3
NE 6-4
MIA 6-4 (assuming they beat Oakland)
BUF 6-4
The reason to want it to look this way is because the Jets then have to go to Tennessee the following week to play the Titans, which would be their chance for a loss. And New England/Miami play each other, assuring a loss for one of them, as well. A Bills win Monday and next week @ KC would put the Bills in a tie atop the divisin again, with all three divisional opponents still left to play again.
When it's all said and done, if the Bills take care of their own business (easier said than done) they'll be in a very good spot heading into their next division game in 4 weeks vs. Miami.
But if you think the division is still winnable (which I do), as opposed to trying to get a wild card spot, my opinion is we should want the Jets to win that game.Buffalo Bills Now! and NFL Now! podcasts

We still have a chance for the division of course (and just as good a chance at finishing with 7-8 wins). but realistically, I'm looking for New England and Miami to slide a little, certainly a benefit to us. If NE was to lose Thursday to the Jets, they still have tough games remaining against not only Miami the next week, but also still Pitt and arizona at home, and Buffalo on the road. A little good fortune for us keeps them at 9-7.
The jets, after Tennessee the following week have an easier schedule. Their toughest game, at least on paper right now, is probably us at home in Week 15.
Regardless; given our division rival schedules, its going to take 10 wins to give us a real shot at any postseason.

Re: So who we rooting for on Thur, and why?
IMO, either one would be good. If the Jets win, NE has a chance to go 0-3 over the next 3 games, so it would be easier for us to pass them then, and possibly get the wild card behind Cleveland. If we still want to win the division, then I'd say root for the Pats. Then both teams might go 1-2 over their next 3 games, and we could jump to the lead if we go 3-0 (depending on what Miami does)."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: So who we rooting for on Thur, and why?
As far as the Bills are concerned, it doesn't matter. Both teams are division teams and both teams already have a tiebreaker and a game up on the Bills.
So root for the Jets because the Pats are the root of all that is evil and unholy.
