Beating Texans Didn't Cost Broncos #2 Pick
Thanks to Cincinnati's win over the Chuggers, the Broncos were able to enjoy a late-season win without costing them the #2 pick overall in next spring's draft.
The Broncos, Bengals and Bills are all at 4-11 but the Broncos win the strength-of-schedule tie-breaker since they play in the weak AFC West and their schedule includes the WAC-like NFC West as their interconference foes.
Denver's SOS is currently at .508
Cincinnati's SOS is currently at .580
Buffalo's SOS is currently at .582
which means that a loss at home to San Diego next Sunday assures them of the #2 overall pick while a win might cause them to fall as far as sixth depending on other results.
I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
