I certainly want to close the season with a win, but just a little FYI for you draft hopefuls. Again im not saying I want to lose, just a little info is all.
I think as of now the Bills are drafting roughly about 17. Going into the last week of the season, if the Bills lose wed want the following to happen I believe.
(http://www.nfl.com/standings?category=league)
The Saints (7-8) play the Bears (6-9)
The 1st tie breaker is strength of schedule. As of now the Bears strength of schedule is .560 while the Saints is .480 and ours is .511. Im not sure how drastic these numbers will change after week 17 but regardless if the Saints win the Bears pick ahead of us. If the Bears win both are tied with us at 7-9 and I believe the Bears would still pick ahead of us.
Panthers (6-9) @ Tampa
Havent looked at all the Scenarios but I believe tampa has a playoff spot. Dont know if they can increase thier seeding any. Panthers strength of schedule as of now is .529 which will probably only go up playing the Bucs. I dont think we can leap them so this game may not matter.
Rams @ Arizona (7-8)
A Cardinals win moves us up.
Jags @ Houston (7-8)
A Texans win moves us up.
Cincy (6-9) @ Miami
Cincy's sos is .489 and will not be helped by Miami. A Bengals win should also move us up.
Minny @ Denver (6-9)
Denver currently has a .524 sos, so I dont believe a Broncos win helps any.
Detriot (7-8) @ Greenbay
A lions win moves us up. Dont believe the Packers can do any better then the #2 in the NFC, should be resting.
Teams wed want to have win assuming we lost: Lions, Texans, Cardinals, Bengals
Which means (and I most certainly could be wrong but at first glance....) the best we could pick I believe is about 12.
