nipples Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 1 hour ago, NJWolverEagle11 said: Does Carolina's win help our cause? It doesn’t immediately, because the Panthers have a lower strength of schedule, so if the Saints lose both teams will be 3-7 with the Panthers getting the tie-breaker for the 5th pick. But still helps long term obviously because it increases the chances of the Panthers passing the Saints in the standings obviously. So this weekend we want Pittsburgh to beat the Saints, obviously. I can’t decide if we want the Lions or Bears to win that matchup. A Lions win would put them at 3-6, and I believe that would drop them behind the Saints (if the Saints lose), but would also put the Bears at 3-7.

And I expect a loss to Pittsburgh this weekend. Steelers have had two weeks now to sit and stew over that Eagles whooping and to prepare for the Saints game. I’m pretty sure if the Steelers, Lions, and Raiders all win, the Saints pick goes up to 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Steeler, Lions, and Raiders all win (and Saints lose), those 3 teams would move past NO due to a better win% and therefore that pick from NO would move up to 3 (behind only Houston and Carolina).

It would IF the Saints lose this weekend (@Pittsburgh) and lose next weekend (Rams at home) AND the Panthers win next weekend (@Baltimore). The latter seems unlikely (but stranger things have happened). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weko Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 if we don't trade the Saint's pick it will absolutely be a DT or DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lions win putting them at 3-6 would slot them after NO (*if NO loses to Pittsburgh) due to having a better win% (0.333 vs 0.300). Chicago losing to put them at 3-7 (and same record as NO ... again, should NO lose) would still draft after NO based on having a higher SOS (0.559 vs 0.473). So a Detroit win helps us more.

Agree though, think the Raiders should have this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. We need to ensure that either TB or Atlanta win the division. It would suck if the NO pick ended up #19. We shouldn't get greedy.

That NFCS is a mess, but I'd still be surprised if TB didn't win the division. Ending up with the 6th overall pick would obviously be great and I'd be stoked with that. But while the possibility still exists for the 4th or 3rd overall pick even, I'm going to hope for all outcomes that lead to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
