It looks like Detroit will be the winner of the first pick in the draft. We are now in the hunt for the second pick. All the teams that have a shot at the second pick are at home this week, except Seattle is at St. Louis. With a Seattle win we would be assured of the tie breaker between the two teams and move into 3rd place. The Bengals who would remain in second with a loss would play Cleveland who is 4-9 and the Chiefs who are 2-11 in the final two games of the year. If they would win either game they Rams would move into second if they are able to lose out.
1. Detroit 0-13 (Will get 1st pick in the draft)
2. Bengals 1-11-1 @ home vs. Washington 7-6
3. Seattle 2-11 @ St. Louis 2-10
4. Rams 2-11 @ home vs. Seattle 2-10
5. Chiefs 2-11 @ home vs. San Diego 5-8
Here is what the tie breaker (oppositions win %) was before last weeks games:
1 Detroit Lions 0 - 12 0.563
2 Cincinnati Bengals 1 - 10 0.635
3 Seattle Seahawks 2 - 10 0.531
4 St. Louis Rams 2 - 10 0.552
5 Kansas City Chiefs 2 - 10 0.563
Last year I rooted for wins at the end of the season but this year I am more interested in losses. We need to have major upgrades to this team and winning meaningless games could cost us the two best LT's in the draft.
