Dec 15 Rooting Interest For Draft Purposes

I never want the Bills to lose. That said, some want to improve draft status.

Current standings for 2014 NFL Draft courtesy of NFL.com.

W-L-T - Team

2-11-0 - Houston
3-10-0 - Washington (St Louis owns this pick)
3-10-0 - Atlanta
3--9-1 - Minnesota
4--9-0 - Oakland
4--9-0 - Jacksonville
4--9-0 - Cleveland
4--9-0 - Buffalo
4--9-0 - Tampa Bay
5--8-0 - Pittsburgh
5--8-0 - Tennessee
5--8-0 - St Louis
5--8-0 - NJ Giants

HOU @ INDY Obvious Texan victory needed.

WASH @ ATL ATL still plays SF and CAR while WASH has Dallas and NJ Giants left. I believe Wash has a better chance of winning their remaining games than Atlanta, so GO FALCONS!

PHI @ MIN Minny needs to win. It might happen.

CHI @ CLE Another obvious choice. Time to be a Josh Gordon fan.

SF @ TB Go Bucs!

BUF @ JAX Again this post is about getting a better draft pick, so don't shoot the messenger for rooting on JAX.

KC @ OAK Rise Raider Nation and defeat your hated rivals.

NO @ STL Geaux Rams?

SEA @ NYG Giants need to choke those chickens.

CIN @ PIT Steelers need to "bessemer" the Bengals.

AZ @ TN C'mon Fitz, you beat the Cards with the Bills, you can do it again with teammates George Wilson & Andy Levitre.

Peripherally (again this is for draft positioning) root for:

  • NJJ over CAR (I know, it makes me ill too)
  • GB over DAL (Easy one for most Bills fans)
  • MIA over NE (See above)
  • DET over BAL (This could go either way)

These results should vault the Bills to fourth, tied with Atlanta.
BfE note: I am not the most fluent on this topic, and am basing these outcomes only on the effect they will have on current standings. There may be some scenarios that differ based on the final three weeks games.
Feel free to comment if there are other mitigating circumstances.

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.
