As of now, we'll draft

[sportznutt]

anywhere from 8th - 11th.

 

[spanky1]

anywhere from 8th - 11th.

It will be #8......we have the advantage in SOS over Buffalo, Detroit and St Louis

If true, that would be great.

 

[Evil Ash]

anywhere from 8th - 11th.

Unless the Rams win, it looks like we'll end up at 11. We'd also still end up in 2nd place in our division. Go figure

 

[spanky1]

As of right now it'll be:

1)New Orleans
2)Houston
3)SF
4)NYJ
5)GB
6)Tenn
7)Oakland
8)Buffalo
9/10)T/AZ and St. Louis

Per GBN this was the order last week

# Team W-L Opponents'
W-L % Final
opponent

1 Houston
2-13 .533 at San Francisco

2 New Orleans 3-12 .517 at Tampa Bay

3 New York Jets 3-12 .533 Buffalo

4 Green Bay 3-12 .542 Seattle

5 San Francisco 3-12 546 Houston

6 Tennessee 4-11 508 at Jacksonville

7 Oakland 4-11 .538 NY Giants

8 St. Louis 5-10 .488 at Dallas

9 Buffalo 5-10 .500 at NY Jets

10 Arizona 5-10 .504 at Indianapolis

11 Detroit 5-10 .504 at Pittsburgh

With the Bills loss, The only things that may keep us in the top 10 is if the Rams lose and DET has a tougher schedule than us (its not looking that way)

 

[spanky1]

Don't forget Detroit whom are 5-11 as well...

We would pick ahead of Detroit vis a vis SOS.

When I say as of now I mean as of now (5:47 pm et on New Years Day)

 

[ajcardfan]

Not any more. They move ahead of us because Indy has a better record than Pittsburgh.

 

[Evil Ash]

We would pick ahead of Detroit vis a vis SOS.

we have the same strength of schedule coming into this week and it looks like the majority of the teams that we played this year (assuming they aren't playing against each other) are winning.

Indy, alone, was better than Pittsburgh by 3 games. We are not going to pick ahead of Detroit.

[ajcardfan]

Looks like I have a good chance of being wrong about Detroit. I think every matchup left, except the Bears-Vikings, are teams we've played.

Skins-Eagles

Cowboys-Rams

49ers-Texans

So, our SOS should only go down since those teams will split those games. If the Rams lose, we should pick 10th. If they win, we'll pick 9th.

Right?

 

[Red Dawn]

I would think the outcome of Bears/Minnesota would also influence some other teams SOS, such as Detroit. It's pretty tight to call, maybe I'll take a nap and let it sort itself out.

 

[ajcardfan]

I would think the outcome of Bears/Minnesota would also influence some other teams SOS, such as Detroit.

They played both, so that cancels out with one of the other three matchups.

 

[sportznutt]

I find it odd that Detroit has a chance to pick higher than us......I really wish it was head to head instead of SOS........Detroit beat us, so they should have the advantage of a better record over us, no? Wouldn't that somehow prove they're better than us?

 

[Red Dawn]

If the Rams lose, we should pick 10th. If they win, we'll pick 9th.

Right?

That looks right to me.

Sportznutt, iirc that is a tiebreaker but I dont think it will be needed.

 

[Evil Ash]

Sportznutt, iirc that is a tiebreaker but I dont think it will be needed.

Nope its not. The only tiebreaker for draft order is based on SOS. If there is a tie it then goes to a coin toss

 

[sportznutt]

just doesn't make sense that that would be ahead of head to head......ah well.

 

[Evil Ash]

Well here we go again

[Big Deal]

We just got hosed, if the lambs win we will get pushed out of the top ten. If the texans would have won we had a chance to pass buffalo for # 8.

a win would make for .002 change, we still wouldn't have passed Buffalo

 

[Goldfield]

We lost a draft spot to Dallas afew years ago because we beat them that year. We thought there was gunna be a coin flip remember, but since we beat them they got the pick.

Seems to me Detroit would be behind us because they beat us this year.

There was a coin flip people just thought we switched positions because we lost to them
