Although the TFC game is our main focus. This thread is dedicated to determining the teams which it is in the best interest of a TFC fan to win tomorrow.
This week is fairly easy with all the east vs. west games but this will involve increasingly more analysis.
Basically, if the following teams win, TFC has a better chance of making the playoffs.

Toronto FC: If you can't figure this one out, you are retarded.

San Jose: Although we very well could be battling a team from the west for a final wild card spot, the fact is we are battling east teams for a divisional spot and a wild card spot. It is almost always, especially this early in the season, in our best interest to see teams from the west beat other eastern teams. This is because we are equally likely to be battling and eastern team for that wild card spot, but would not be battling a western team for it, as they cannot have that spot. So its more ok for western teams to have points instead of eastern teams. If you cant figure it out yet, use this hypothetical. Say every team in the west wins every game all season and all east west games go to the western team, except one game which goes to tfc after their victory over FC Dallas: That means the west will suck up all the wildcard spots, but it cannot suck up our top eastern spots, those would be left for the top eastern team, TFC. Whereas if the non tfc east wins all those games they take our wild card spots and our top eastern teams spots. Though this is an extreme, you can see any degree to which western teams win more over eastern treams other than TFC, leaves more spots in the east for TFC. Eastern teams losing means more spots avalible for TFC, plain and simple.

Chivas: This one is tricky, ideally we would get a tie, as that would mean less total points allocated. I pick Chivas, because it appears they will be less likely to be challenging us in the wildcard race. Thus them getting points doesnt really effect us, as much.
Now we can all passionately watch MLS all day.
