I will take that bet although I’d prefer to see where we finish pick wise prior as in our pick.
I'll bet you $25, donated to Finheaven that it's more likely Miami trades down from their first selection, then up to No.1. To keep the parameters simple. The likely outcome to be a push with no trade.
I suspect we will either be 2nd or 3rd but we will know after we see what Cincy looks like with Finley at the helm. It's more likely he wins his first start than his last. Guys are more prone to success right out of the gate than after a few games of film for NFL DC's to plan.
Jacksonville and Oakland hold the keys to our tie breaker scenarios. We need them to win, win, win. Especially when facing the Colts or Chargers, who we need to lose, lose lose. Both the Jets and Bengals have Jax and Oak on their schedule where we have LAC and Indy. Nick Foles coming back is a good thing. Rivers and Brissett missing time would be nice but I'm not going to go there with rooting for injuries.
At some point a thread with updated strength of schedule tracking results will have to be in the main forum. I might do it on Tuesday next week after another round of games.
Are there no draft websites that have produced updated draft order yet?
This week:
TNF: Chargers at Raiders. Let's go Oakland! No question about it.
Browns over Bills would be HUGE. Monster tie breaker implications here.
Rams over Steelers, would help in two ways.
Jets/Giants. There is a benefit either way here. A Jets win helps us because we are competing for draft seeding with them, a Giants win helps our potential SOS tie breaker vs. Cincy. Being that the Jets factor twice on our schedule, makes sense to want them to lose as Cincy appears to be a bigger obstacle. This one isn't so cut and dry.
