Quote:What is a waiver order?

 

After the season is over and draft picks are announced, we can see each team's SOS on the list. I don't know if you can find it during the regular season.

 

If we do not predict wins and losses for the Buccaneers because they have only played four games, why should we predict which games the Jaguars have a chance of winning?

 

Waiver order is the priority of which teams get to claim a player that has been cut.  If I'm not mistaking, the waiver order eventually goes by the same rules as the draft order (which uses strenght of schedule as a tie breaker for teams with the same record). 

 

We can still predict wins and losses.  I'm just saying it's probably better to do it based on how good the team is and not so much strength of schedule at this point (which is still a work in progress).  What seems like a good team now may not be so much at the end of the year and vice versa.    I really wish they would get rid of the strength of schedule tie breaker and use something that actually makes sense (like points differential or something).
