The Panthers are currently in line for the 9th pick of the draft.  Don’t be fooled by this. There are currently 6 teams with 3 wins and the Panthers are ahead because they have played more games than all but Atlanta.  Our SOS has fallen to .537, which keeps us ahead of Atlanta (.541), but will be behind the Lions (.504), Vikings (.507), and Patriots (.522), all of whom have only played in 8 games so far.

Here are the games that could improve our draft position if we were to lose this weekend to the Bucs.

1)      Bengals @ Steelers: A Bengals win would move them to a higher win % than the Panthers and advance our current draft position by 1. This game does not directly affect our SOS

2)      Texans @ Browns: A Texans win would have them tied with the Panthers at 3 wins, giving them a higher win%  and higher SOS (.565). The Panthers would jump them in the draft order.  This game does not directly affect our SOS.

3)      Washington @ Lions: A Washington win would have them tied with the Panthers at 3 wins, but they would have a higher win %. The Panthers would jump them in the draft order.  This game has no effect on our SOS as we play both teams.

4)      Chargers @ Dolphins: A Chargers win would have them tied with the Panthers at 3 wins, and give them a higher winning percentage, but lower SOS (.507).  The Panthers would jump them in the draft order.  Sadly, a Chargers win increases our SOS.

5)      Giants @ Eagles: A Giants win would have them directly tied with the Panthers at 3-7, however the Giants currently have a lower SOS (.508) and would remain ahead of the Panthers. This game does not affect our current SOS as we play neither team.

6)      Jaguars @ Packers: A Jaguars win moves them to 2 wins and within striking distance of the Panthers who currently have a lower SOS. A Packers loss decreases our SOS.

7)      Vikings @ Bears: A Vikings win moves them to 4 wins and further distances us in case we win another game. This game does not directly affect our SOS as we play both teams once.

8)      Patriots @ Ravens: A Patriots win moves them to 4 wins and further distances us in case we win another game. This game does not directly affect our SOS as we play neither team.

9)      Broncos @ Raiders: A Broncos win moves them to 4 wins and further distances us in case we win another game. This game does not directly affect our SOS as we play both teams once.

10)   49ers @ Saints: A Saints loss vastly improves (x2) our SOS.

11)   Bills @ Cardinals: A Cardinals loss improves our SOS.

In a complete CRAZY statistical anomaly, 12 of the 14 games set to be played this week have some effect on our current draft position and of those 12 games, we need the away team to win in every single one!  You can’t make that kind of stat up.

      Salary cap taking a big jump in 2025

      Because being a pauper in the NFL is still making a king's ransom. NFL vet min is roughly 18x the median salary in the U.S.

      At some point I sense it's gonna create some hate and locker room cancer between these cap hogs and the rest of the players. When the top 6 or 7 players take 80% of the cap, the other 40 plus guys are gonna get pissed off, especially when they're still only winning 5 or 6 games. Why put everything on the line to play with guys who are only in it for themselves?

      I am just spitballing here--let it play out and I will go to bed: Let's say Mahome's contract comes due and he insists on $100m per season.  Is there a team that would find the money to pay it?  Would KC? It was in 2015 (I think) when Cam was getting $20m and it was hard to grasp.  In the past decade, the price of a franchise QB has tripled.  Then the next QB bases his contract on the Mahomes deal.  The trend has been the last QB contract is the highest.  I see nothing to discourage that trend--Greed can destroy a league.  Personally, I don't watch baseball any more, and the NBA has a small group of about 8 teams that appear on national TV and they have players who make more than some eastern block countries.  Ticket prices go up---and we are headed for pay-per-view very soon across the board-
