Based on SOS, I don't see anyway we get into the top10.

i believe that if we ended up tied with the redskins we would have the SOS advantage.

so if the Skins, Falcons, Browns, and Broncos all happen to win we could move up 4 spots to 8 with a loss in that unlikely scenario.

Not enough uumph for me to figure out, so if each of those teams lose along with us, do we move up one spot or is it that complete combo of wins?

the only way I see us jumping is a skins win and a Vikings loss,  same record and we have the weaker strength of schedule. 1 spot
a vikings loss and a win by atlanta, cleveland, or the broncos would net a 1 spot jump for each occurrence.

so hypothetically we could jump 4 spots with a loss if i did the calculations correctly.  if we lose and they all lose then nothing,  we stay right where we are.

Smart team: plays Mond and scrubs vs. Bears scrubs, sees what they have, hopefully loses to improve draft slot.
Dumb team: Vikings.

Right, even if we lose I think our most likely spot is still outside the top 10.  Someone crunched the math and I think if a bunch of games fell correctly we could get as high as 7 with a loss to the Bears...  but more likely we are still at 11 with a loss (sitting at 12 now) and could only go as low as 14 with a win.  I'll cheer for the win.

I'll cheer for the loss. Any chance we have to move up at this point (no matter how small) is still a better alternative then winning a meaningless game and potentially dropping seven draft positions 

We are slotted at 12 right now, not 7.  We'd need like a half dozen teams in front of us to win games that they aren't likely to win for us to move up to 7...

So realistically we're talking about moving up one slot with a loss or maybe dropping 2 slots if we win.

Yes but you take into equation if we win it could drop us down to the 14th spot potentially. If we lose and get some help we could jump up to 7th pick. That's a 7 pick swing depending on if we win or lose. That's more then enough for me to hope we lose Sunday
