…pick in the draft.

With 4 weeks left in the season, the Raiders are sitting in the top of the bottom. Can they succeed in sinking to the challenge of getting the 1st pick of the draft, or can they mess that up as well as the rest of the season. The following is the list of the 5 teams with the worst records, & their week 17 opponent.

Oakland Raiders: 1-11-0 .083 Division: 1-3 .250 Conference: 1-8 .111 (Week 17: @ Denver Broncos)

Tennessee Titans: 2-10-0 .167 Division: 1-3 .250 Conference: 2-7 .222 (Week 17: Indianapolis Colts)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 2-10-0 .167 Division: 0-4 .000 Conference: 1-7 .125 (Week 17: New Orleans Saints)

New York Jets: 2-10-0 .167 Division: 0-4 . 000 Conference: 2-7 .222 (Week 17: @ Miami Dolphins)

Jacksonville Jaguars: 2-10-0 .167 Division: 0-3 .000 Conference: 1-7 .125 (Week 17: @ Houston Texans)

I’ve included the week 17 opponents because some of them might be set in their play-off seedings. This includes the Broncos, who might be set as the 2nd seed before they play the Raiders. If so, it’s probable that Manning (as well as most of our starters) will sit out the game. This could open the door to a Raiders win, & therefore open the door for another team.
