Last week, I gave you what must happen for the Packers to get the #1 pick outright. Well, Brook Bollinger disappointed again, and we’ve started the NFL weekend out right (the bookies might not agree if you followed my advice :-) So, I bring you the update after the Saturday games –
- The Pack must lose to the Seahawks at home.
- The Texans must beat the oh-so-close-to-2-in-a-row Niners in San Francisco.
- The Saints must not lose in Tampa.
- All of the following must happen to avoid a coin flip with the Texans (one tie can happen; anything more than one thing not happening gives the higher pick to the Texans):
- The Jets choke to Buffalo at home.
- Arizona does the expected and loses in Indianapolis.
- Detroit lays an egg in Pittsburgh.
- St. Louis ends Dallas’ playoff dreams. (Sorry James; we need this, and the odds say this will be a meaningless game anyway)
- All of the following must happen to avoid a coin flip with the Jets assuming they lose (again, one tie can happen and anything more than one thing not happening gives the higher pick to the Jets) because the Raiders proved they’re the dumbest team ever (it fit with the dumbest announcing crew ever):
- The OldBrowns go back to Cleveland and win.
- The Bengals get cooked by the Ch(i)efs.
- The Titans fall before Jacksonville.
