If the Playoffs started today 11/15/16

In the "race" for the #1pick, looks like the 49ers are going to give us some serious competition. Checked their schedule. This week? Patriots = loss, book it. Their only chances @ wins IMHO are Da Bears & Rams, and they're both on the road.

But we have to win 2 to "lose" the race due to division strength of schedule.

Yeah- I just took a look at that Gip, and I'm worried. Only sure way to get that #1 overall is to lose out.
IIRC it's not "division SoS, it's overall SoS. OK, probably a little early to do the projection. But I did. First, throw out the 5 common opponents (Cowboys, Pats, ect.) Insert current records of teams yet to be played. Assume both the 49ers and the Browns both lose this week. Give the Browns a win somewhere down the road.
Browns have played the tougher schedule (by two more opponent wins to date). Pick second.
Throwing out the non-common games.....
49ers finish with Falcons, Bears, Rams Seahawks. (49ers best chance at another win)
Browns finish with Giants, Bungles, Chargers, Steelers.
I'll call the Falcons\Giants games a wash as to record. In the race for the #1 overall, the Browns losing to both the Bungles and Steelers would be very bad. (Ups their win total)
So, in a nutshell, root for the Falcons and Seahawks to win, and everyone left on the Browns non-division schedule to lose.

Bump. In the race to #1. Darn, the Niners almost pulled it out against Miami. Here's the update. San Fran better beat the Bears- because it just got worse. In case of identical records, San Fran picks first. Their opponents have 54 wins, the Browns 60.
-
49s also have the Jets at home week 14, their most winnable game. Did you double the wins of divisional opponents in that count?

But, the Niners have played one more game than the Browns. That is why.
This week we have the last two teams to take their byes I believe: Browns and Titans.

Not so Gip. The "projection" factors in the current records of teams the Browns & 49ers have yet to play. Of course, the assumption includes the Browns winning a game somewhere. Doesn't matter that much about the extra game the Browns have played.But, the Niners have played one more game than the Browns. That is why.

Subject to change, every Atlanta, Arizona (man, they're sucking) & Seattle win helps the Browns. I'll update as needed.

Yup, sure did. It hurts that the Cardinals and Rams are playing poorly. I expected better out of Arizona. I could see the Browns eking out a win against the beat up Bengals, or the Chargers- but both? Doubtful.
The game against the Bengals after the bye will be telling. both teams will have little to play for. The Browns will either come out fired up, or have mailed in the season.

I don't think so. You said that Browns opponents have won 60 games thus far, and the 49ers foes have 54 The Browns have played 12 opponents. the 49ers have played only 11 opponents.
So, perhaps we should look at it like this:
Average number of wins of Browns opponents: 5 60/12. Average number of wins by 49ers opponents: 4.909. So, yes, for now the 49ers would have a better run.....but they also have a stronger remaining schedule I believe.
-
But, it is true that the 49ers play an "easier" schedule the rest of the way.
The Browns remaining opponents: Steelers/Bengals/Bills/Chargers are 20-23-1 .465
The 49ers remaining opponents: Falcons/Rams/Bears/Jets/Seahawks are 23-31-1 .426
So, for the Browns to get the #1 pick....of course all they have to do is lose the rest of the way....or at least lose fewer than the 49ers.
Or if they tie they must have a weaker SOS.....and we won't know that any time soon.
But....let's put it this way: the Bengals/Jets and Bears are looking about as bad as the Browns are looking at this point.

is there much difference between picking #1 overall vs. #2 overall? Is there a consensus player that we absolutely have to have at #1 that for sure will not be there at #2?
-
With our luck, RG3 will come back and we'll win 3 of the last 4, giving the FO false hope and changing their draft/FA strategy to build around the glass framed QB.

Have you not been paying attention on this Board: A Quarterback.

SF needs Garrett more than they need a QB.

You're a little confused on how I came up with that number Gip. It's not "thus far". I also counted in the current record (read that wins) of teams the Browns and 49ers have yet to play. It's projected over the entire 17 week season. Will that # change? Of course, but it's at least a measuring stick.
What kills the Browns vs. 49ers on SOS, is San Fran has played (or will) the 4 win X2 Rams, 4 win X2 Cardinals, the 4 win Panthers, and the 2 win Bears. (Jets doesn't count, because it's a common opponent & that's true of all common opponents.)
Teams we want to see win- Cardinals, Carolina, Tampa, Saints, Bears, Rams, Falcons, Seahawks (except when they play San Fran)
Teams we want to see lose- Eagles (double because we have their first round) , Titans (double because we have their second round) , Redskins, Giants, Ravens, Chargers, Bengals, Steelers (LOL, except when they play the Browns)

Probably....because they have Kaepernick. Who I think can still be a quality QB with enough around him.
But, here's the thing.....the 9ers would probably want to extract something significant from the Browns for them not to take Trubisky. ....even if they didn't really want him....fair to say?
They would want our young guys to look like that Jacksonville GM from Draft Day.

It may be superfluous......do any of you actually see the Browns winning a game?

Coming off our bye,depends if the Bengals have mailed it in- the Browns probably haven't- too hungry for a win. I could see that game as a pick 'em, or even have the Browns slightly favored. Might have a shot at the Chargers too.
I give the Browns about zero odds of pulling out a win against the Bills in Buffalo, and especially against the Steelers on the road if they're fighting for a playoff spot.
