But hopefully not to the Bucs. I personally will be ok if we end up choosing Mariota because we don't have the #1 pick though.

Tampa is going to give us a run for our money.  The top pick is going to be difficult to get this year.

Its funny how every time theres QB prospect at the top of the draft thats super good (Luck/ Bridgewater) and the Jaguars pose a real threat to get that player, the NFL steps i....errr I mean some other team magically just happens to have a worse year out of nowhere...

Literally speaking, that could mean as an opposing player. Remember the NFL scheduling format guarantees every team plays against everyone else at least once every 4 years.

We have an easier remaining schedule, so if there is a tie, we have a good chance of winning the tiebreaker.

Everyone who thought the Giants are worse than the Vikings should stop thinking that now. I saw a Vikings fan wearing a bag with the team's record (1-5) on his head. The only win for Minnesota this year was against the Steelers, who could not even beat the Raiders today. I would be more worried about the Vikings than Giants because they, at 1-6, have a worse record and real quarterback problem.

Amazingly,  the Giants are only 2 games out of first place.

Yeah, but their second win was against the Eagles, who are not much worse than the Cowboys.

A road win in the NFL against any team is significant.      

 

Regardless of the current state of the Eagles is,   the Giants now have an outside chance at winning the NFC East.     Having said that,  the Cowboys have a good chance of rebounding in 6 days with the slumping Vikings coming to Texas.

That would be insane. Has any 0-6 team made the playoffs?

 

Next week is going to suck. I hate the Cowgirls, but know Minnesota needs a miracle to win at Dallas.

I recall the 1970 Bengals making the playoffs as an 8-6 AFC Central Division winner after a 1-6 start to the season.    I can't recall an 0-6 team ever making the playoffs.    It's still a longshot the Giants will pull it off but they have a pulse after winning 2 straight.        In reality,  the Giants now have a better chance at reaching the playoffs than getting the # 1 pick.

 

It's difficult for me to root for the Vikings but I might root for them against the Cowboys hoping that the Vikings don't get a top 2 pick in the draft.   

 

The only slight chance the Vikings have in winning on the road against the Cowboys next week is if Adrian Peterson has a monster game AND the turmoil that Dez Bryant created in Detroit carries over to their game against the Vikings.      I'm thinking seriously of making the Cowboys my NFL Survivor/  Eliminator pick because of the state the Vikings are in.

I don't care if the Vikings get the #2 pick. They just can't take #1 away from us.

Why do you want the Falcons to lose? They are on Minnesota's schedule, so we want them to win for SOS purposes. Also, they are so bad without Julio Jones this year I think they can get a top five pick. (One of their two wins was at home against Tampa Bay.)

 

But I like your idea of rooting for certain teams each week. Keep it going, Doctor.

The Panthers play the Vikings too.  They also happen to play the Giants.  The Falcons don't face the Giants. And the Buccaneers face both teams twice.

Something looks wrong here. In the current 16-game format, all four teams in each division play against all four teams in two other divisions - one in each conference. That is why the Jaguars, Titans, Colts, and Texans all play against the Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs, Raiders, 49ers, Cardinals, Seahawks, and Rams this year. The NFC North plays against the NFC East this season, so all four teams  play against the Cowboys, Redskins, Eagles, and Giants. How do I know that? Because all four of those teams are on Minnesota's schedule, of course. So the Vikings should not play against Atlanta, the #1 seed in the NFC last year. Minnesota should play against one NFC South team - the Saints, not the Panthers, because of last year's division rankings.

Given that the Panthers beat the Vikings in week 6, I would say that nothing is wrong there.  The Panthers were in 2nd place after the tiebreaking procedure.  Carolina, Tampa, and New Orleans all three had records of 7-9.

I'd almost root for the Falcons because of how terrible their record is right now.

The Seattle-Bucs game is a "no lose situation" in terms of the Jags,,,,because if the Bucs win, that helps obviously, and if Seattle beats them, it ups Seattles record, ergo better opponents winning pct% for 1st pick tiebreaker purposes....

I'm not positive, but don't they not count the game you played when counting Strength Of Schedule?
