NFL: Ten teams with 1 win or less

I would do a Mike Ditka for Trevor, give the whole draft.

There will be two big winners this year, the team that wins the Super Bowl and the team with the number one pick.  Not sure if there has been a better QB prospect since Peyton Manning.  There is more incentive for teams with no chance of making the playoffs to lose.  

I’ll say it again this team is not good enough to have to tank for a box of donuts let alone Trevor. The Falcons game should of proven that. The fact that all of Kurts 10 ints have come against vanilla defenses should put us in the drivers seat for the number one pick. I didn’t see 3 wins this season now I’m not sure we get to 2 unless we play a team heading for the playoffs resting their starters. Oh wait we got smoked by Chicago’s backups at home a couple years ago so that’s not a given.

Two of the 8 teams have 1 tie (Bengals, Eagles). The Chargers are 1-4, not 1-5.  Still, the grouping is fairly close.

But a big difference is strength of schedule.  The weakest games remaining on the Vikes schedule are the Jags, twice against the 2-3 Lions (who are a far better team this season), along with once against the middling Cowboys and Panthers.  Of those, only the Jags are truly a weak team.  Now, the Vikes could realistically sweep that grouping (but would be unlikely to win another game beyond that) and end up 6-10.  But the Vikes could easily lose all of those games too - not take the Jags seriously enough, lose twice to the Lions, lose to Teddy and a better Panthers team, blow the game against the middling Cowboys.  There's also an outside shot of a win against the Bears or Pack... but probably not this year. 

The over under for Vikings wins is something like 3.5 wins at this point. 

Eagles, Redskins and Giants have games against each other left, along with the Cowboys (division rivals giving them a better shot), and for the Giants and WFT, the Bengals.  WFT also has the Panthers and Lions.  Bengals have the Dolphins, Texans, WFT and Cowboys... plus twice against the Steelers (division rivals of a better, but flawed, team) and the Browns next week. 

Chargers have the Jets, Jags (and vice versa) plus Broncos x2, Raiders x2 (better but flawed division rival), Fins and middling Patriots. Jags and Texans have each other, the Bengals, yada yada. Texans also have the middling Pats. Falcons have the Chargers, Broncos, Panthers (division rival), and could easily take a game against the Saints or Bucs (much better but flawed teams) etc. 

While the Jets seem to have a lock on the #1 pick (and I think would be likely to trade Darnold if that happens), after that, who knows. Based on strength of schedule, Giants and WFT likely have a similar 3.5ish over/under, ditto the Bengals, Jags, Texans.  Chargers by virtue of having the Jets on the schedule likely have a 4 or 4.5 over/under on total wins.  Point being that while the Vikes are probably a better team, at least talent wise, than most of the other bottom tier teams - they very likely may end up with a worse record. 

If Spielman had the #1 overall pick I am afraid he would trade out of it to to the #2 overall pick just to get a 2nd rounder back again.

No, you're not being a jerk, you make a good point. The Vikings DO have a history of breaking our hearts, though.

I will say that Trevor Lawrence is not just "some amateur." He probably has the best shot at an outstanding NFL QB career since Peyton Manning.
