A couple thoughts:
1) We ain't beating Baltimore. The Ravens need the game.
2) Carolina is winning today over Wash. That will bump us up a spot.
3) Not sure what happens if we tie with Philly. I think Strength of Schedule is the tie-breaker. I believe the team with the EASIER schedule picks first. After the 1 pm games, we were dead even with Philly.
4) Atlanta travels to TB for the last game. TB has clinched a PO spot but can't win the division. If they rest Brady/Gronk and/or some others, the Falcons do have a shot. On the downside, TB lost to the Rams this year, if they lose to ATL, and the Rams beat Arizona, TB would slip to 6th. I'm sure they'd prefer to take on whomever wins the NFC l'East, which means they need to finish 5th.
5) The other team that we could jump with a loss is Houston. They host Tennessee last. Now, Houston owes their pick to Miami, so the tank is not an issue. Beating Tennessee will be difficult. Especially for a team with a poor run D. Still, Tenn lost to us, and they have Watson, so a punchers chance. Tenn has the TB over Indy and a 1 game lead at the moment. Indy plays Jax last. So Tenn needs 1 more win. They play at GB, then Hou. Rooting for them to win at GB tonight, which would clinch a PO spot & the Division. The Pack clinch a bye with 2 more wins.
Bottom line, I think we will move up a bit on the draft board. At worst, we hold steady.
