On a game-by-game basis, I can see the Pats beating only the Jets, bringing their win total to 3.
On a game-by-game basis, I can see the Cards beating Chicago on the road and Seattle at home, bringing their win total to 4.
They have a harder schedule, so we could still tie at three wins and hold on to the 2nd spot in the draft.
After this last game against the Giants I would be surprised if we won any other game besides the Jets game at the end of the season.
Something to keep in mind is that we have the tie breaker over the Cardinals currently and they face the Bears in 3 weeks. Whatever happens, assuming we only win one more game, the worst we would get is the #3 pick assuming our strength of schedule stays the same.
